Magnus has been discussed here at T-Nation before but its now time to put the spotlight on him again.
Magnus weighs 106kg/233.2lbs and competes in the IPF in class 110kg. He is a clean athlete who is being tested several times a year during his training and competing. Magnus never knows when WADA calls him to be tested and thats why its a safe method against the use of AAS.
edit: Picture is taken from his second squat which was 380kg.
He’s one of the sickest lifters in the junior ranks at the moment. I didn’t realise he’s gone up to 110kg… I always thought he was a bit tall for a 100kg’er. I can’t wait to see what sorta weight he’ll put up as he fills out.

He is crazy. Well, he will squat 400/880 soon. That I’m sure of.
I think that he will pull 350-360/770-792 at the next comp.

He is absolutely sick. Funny thing is he doesn’t even look strong. It will be really interesting to see how much better he can get.[/quote]
I know. He does not look that strong. He is probably not human
He will squat 880+ soon but it will not take long until he eliminates the senior worldrecord in class 110. I hope that he will squat more than Coan did

First off, those vids are a disgusting display of strength.
He only totalled 845kg at the IPF jr worlds last august at 100 (320/205/320) and now he’s up hitting 391/230/340 at 106…
Does ANYONE know how the hell he managed this? (and what I can do to replicate it…)
I know he was wearing the new Metal gear this time around. That might be a factor?[/quote]
Yes, the new Gear helped him alot. He says that he loves it!
But he has increased his streangth alot. Magnus is a monster and he will soon lift a total of 1000kg. I think that he will break some senior world records in calls 110.

For some reason his body structure and technique gives him a lot of help when he puts his gear on. His suitless PR in the squat is only 260, with a fairly recent miss on 270 if my memory serves me. He could probably do 270 now though. Still though that is a huge difference from his equipped max. I don’t think there are too many lifters that get 120 kgs on their equipment.
This however doesn’t explain his sick benching or deadlifting, so he is definitively just a sick sick talent. He is probably clean as well. I would give a lot to get those strength genes.

Are you fucking shittin’ me???
That’s absolutely crazy. How “raw” are we talking? Belted?? Jesus I can’t get over that.
Checked his log, the raw squats were belted, and 3 days after a max deadlift. Still a huge carryover though! I’d love to get 100kg out of gear, let alone 100+.
I was getting the new King Sumo deadlifter and some All Black knee wraps for our gym anyway. Now I have to try really really hard to avoid getting a King squatter!
