Misha Koklyaev jerk snatch deadlift clean squat glasgow

Was lucky enough to be at the Misha Koklyaev exhibition in Glasgow. 13/8/2010

- 270kg jerk from behind the neck (a new pb)
- 400kg deadlift x 3reps.
- 290kg no-hands squat (world record)
- 190kg snatch (25kg more than ever been snatched on Scottish soil before). With a donation of some money (and a cake!) at the platform to show appreciation!

A great bloke with lots of stories throughout. For me, the best quote was when he was explaining how he wouldn't know what he would have done in life without weightlifting. He said 'God must have kissed my head and said 'You will be a weightlifter, motherf*cker'.
A instant classic that one!

I run www.aussiestrength.com website/forum. Worth a visit for all things strongman related.

A cash donation to entice him to do the lift. He was going to stop but some cheering and a donation of some cash...and a cake..got him to do more.

Haha I actually found myself shouting at the monitor 'Go Go Go Go!!!' to encourage him during his 3rd rep on the deadlift
