Konstantinovs' Recent Training

I figured you knew that, I just wanted to make sure you weren’t calling him out when I’m sure he’s been training his ass off.

they’re the next best thing to a bald head and a goatee.

277 lb. bodyweight and that lean? damn!

Somebody needs to do an interview with this guy…

His estimated one rep max with his raw deadlift is 951… I know it’s just an estimation but come on! He should be able to deadlift atleast 900 raw.

He deadlifted 948 in competition in 2006. There are only two people who have EVER deadlifted more than him in a competition, across all federations.
I think you can safely assume:

  1. An estimated 1RM isn’t really sensible if someone is no. 3 in the world,
    and
  2. He’d like to break the equipped records, and a max raw single isn’t going to get him there.

It’d be nice to see what he’d do raw, but we’re talking 22 pounds to make you the second heaviest deadlifter in history. Why would he kill himself doing it raw off the floor?
He’s obviously brutally strong raw, and he’s still handling 900+, just not raw from the floor.
