I believe his real name is Vladimir Shmondenko, his youtube is hilarious either way, but is this dude legit or are they messing around with fake weights? If he's legit, he's STRONG.
Any idea what he walks around atHe is legit strong for his size. He apparently deadlifts a bit over 600 and squats in the upper 400s at a pretty light bodyweight. You can see some of his best lifts if you look it up online. I do think a fair amount of the videos are set up, though. I do find most of his stuff funny.
are these reported in lbs. or kilo's?Volodimir Shmondenko

Last I saw was a bit over 170lbs. He's 5'11", so pretty light for his height, especially considering he's ALL muscle. No wonder he looks skinny in clothes.Any idea what he walks around at
Raises hand...In many of his videos they also have the plates loaded really weird. Like what kind of deranged freak loads a bar with 10s on the inside and then a couple 45s, and then a 25 on the outside? Sorry but that kind of crap just pisses me off.

Thank you, i did not see thatYou can select what you want in the upper right hand corner.
That seems surprisingly ... low. His best total is 1030lbs, with a 330 squat / 270 bench / 430 deadlift (in lbs).Volodimir Shmondenko

Maybe it’s not the same person.That seems surprisingly ... low. His best total is 1030lbs, with a 330 squat / 270 bench / 430 deadlift (in lbs).
Not necessarily, actually. It's more that the average gym-goer is much weaker than that, even the bigger guys. Plus very few of them have ever tried odd lifting like one arm snatches, and therefore can't judge the difficulty of them. They may see you do one arm snatches with a 50 kg barbell, do some math in their head and think you can put up 100 kg with two arms, easily. However, since the one arm snatch is easier (and frankly, balance is not the issue if you use a good set of weights), it's enough if you can power snatch 75 kg with two arms.That seems surprisingly ... low. His best total is 1030lbs, with a 330 squat / 270 bench / 430 deadlift (in lbs).
That's really old info from one of his first meets, and from when he was in 140s to 150s in weight. More recent numbers I saw said he pulled 639lbs and squatted 463lbs or something like that. I'd believe that.That seems surprisingly ... low. His best total is 1030lbs, with a 330 squat / 270 bench / 430 deadlift (in lbs).

Doesn't that make the bar whip more making the lift even easier?In many of his videos they also have the plates loaded really weird.
