Crazy weight! But I see hip replacement in his future.

[dr.chimps]

Always kinda torn about these powerlifting deals. That's an impressive shit-ton of weight, but all the accoutrements seem to reduce the feat to some kind of seedy, side-show attraction.  

[Palpatine Q]

and yet the guys quads look like nothing. I'll never understand powerlifting.

It's all hips and butt.  Look up Platz's 500lb squat video, big difference in technique.

[Hulkotron]

"Green reverse bands"

[Marty Champions]

looks like he hasnt takin a shit all day , springloaded with all that intestinal garbage i say but those forearms are something to be considerd

[Dr Dutch]

I like the vids in which something goes wrong better...

[Hulkotron]

How much could this athlete squat without all his equipment?

I get the draw of the sport; if you want to lift to look better then there's certainly better ways of going about it.  What I will never understand is all the gear: suits, knee wraps, belts, elastic bands that pull the weight through the hardest part of the lift for you...what is the point?

And then they wonder why nobody wants to make this nonsense an Olympic sport.

THIS. He's packed in that suit like a sausage all spring-loaded and ready to pop.Can he even squat down in that thing or does he need the weight to squash him down. I hate the trechnique too. Show me Platz with his feet shoulder width going to the floor with 500 for what, 20? It's def a shit-ton of weight though, that's for sure

[OneManGang]

This is just silly. Without the suit, belt and knee wraps, his max would be around 620lbs and thats it.

Is that serious? I dont know much about PL and all the "equipment". It doesnt double your lift, does it?

[Raymondo]

That suit looks like something out of avatar

[Nails]

that kinda squat has to be done on an empty stomach , or does he wear adult diapers

Wrong. I'm not a big fan of gear and it adds to the lift, but you have to know how to use it. Donnie was STRONG. Below are videos of an 870 and 905 raw squat. 

[Overload]

Can he even squat down in that thing or does he need the weight to squash him down.

With that style of suit you need probably 900+ pounds just to get to depth, maybe more with him. He is a very strong squatter even without the suit.

I used to use a single ply squat suit and it's not as easy as people think, but i think it's getting out of hand and silly.

This is a squat.

[makaveli25]

That was the most retarded thing I've seen in awhile. Guys looks like shit.

[ripitupbaby]

Not what I would consider a legit squat, but impressive to even be able to get under that kind of weight. 

[funk51]

sri chimmoy used to lift 7000 lbs with one hand , he was endorsed by none other than bill pearl....

[funk51]

  yet here he seems to be struggling with 50 lbs. of course he could calf raise an elephant.

[Hulkotron]

Yes Sri is a great spokesman for this sport.

That's crazy, 900lbs! You think if you had just stuck to bb your body wouldn't b so beat up? I've seen that vid before, that's a squat to me. Even more impressive isn't he like 6'4"?

Yes, all those years of power lifting is what destroyed my joints for sure. Bench shirts and squat suits put more pressure on certain joints like your wrists and hips. My wrists are wrecked from heavy board presses with wrist wraps so tight i couldn't feel my hands. I'm all for people wanting to try this stuff, but i have seen more injuries from "equipped" meets than anything in my life. One of my friends had the sleeves of his bench shirt twisted too much for some extra lock out power and it snapped his upper arm right in half on the way down.

Mikhail is a walking monster, he is awesome at everything he does from olympic lifting, strongman, power lifting and other random weird lifts he does. For his size he is fast as hell and can jump some serious distances. He has all kinds of odd and funny lifts on youtube. He's a down to earth guy and has set some very impressive records in his life.

Squat suits don`t count.

He`d do far far less,and I`m talking way less,without the suit.
