Mikhail Koklyaev being an animal

[BiggT]

Here is a video thats been posted on the net of Mikhail Koklyaev, the Russian National Weightlifting champ turned IFSA Strongman. These were all done on the same day......for us Americans, it is a 528lb Clean and Jerk (240kilos), 880lb deadlift (400 kilos), 330lb Muscle Snatch (150kilos), and 572x3 Front Squat (260 kilos).

The 330 muscle snatch is the most ridiculous display of strength I think I have ever seen. I'm not sure how much Kokylaev weighs, but in the video he looks to be somewhere around 315ish if I were to take an estimate.

You may want to turn your speakers down or off entirely as the music it is set too is so bad that your ears may bleed, lol, but then again you may like it, I think Protobuilder has the CD actually.

Shocking. That's like a pulling exhibition extraordinaire. The muscle snatch defies description - basically manhandling over 300lbs.

W O W.

... no not, "whip it out wednesday" ... it's Thursday anywho

Animal indeed... freaking awesome show of strength, great vid post BiggT!

Holy crap. The lifts were as impressive and the music as bad as promised. I lasted 20 seconds before turning off the clip's audio and supplying my own soundtrack.

 

[Tweakle]

damn.. those fronts are something else. He looks like he basically grunts everything up with pure strength. crazy

 

[Protobuilder]

That is by FAR the worst lifting soundtrack EVER. But yes, I do own that CD.

So that’s a ‘muscle snatch’ eh? That was pretty amazing. It looks like it slows down at about chin level and out in front of him and he just pushes it on up. Pretty neat.

It’s also cool to see an Oly guy get into strongman. Some different skills required, for sure, but it’s neat to see the crossover.

RE: Muscle Snatch
