Barbell Artyom Antropov's (96kg) 2 x 300 kg high bar back squat

[watchnerd]

The way in which he does it so casually and easy....it's an accessory lift, after all:

Pretty close to the IPF 93 kg class back squat (for a single) of 330 kg held by Anatolli Novopismenny.

Makes it look so easy.

This one blew me away. I know he’s using straps, but that really doesn’t make it less impressive to me:

Straps = DQ!

But, yeah, that's a heck of a lot for such a little guy.

I trained in a place called “The Palace of Art” here in Glasgow and it was a weightlifting gym that kinda tolerated powerlifters and guys like me who just liked lifting. There were some big guys there among the powerlifters but I never ever saw any of them do anything that impressed me. The oly lifters though…… lord above. When they decided to back squat and deadlift they all effortlessly pulled and squatted stupid weights.

One of my favourite images was the 18 or 19 year old Shane Hamman squatting.



He then switched to Olympic lifting and started out doing drop unders or some sort of snatch prep - with a broomstick.

Gotta love the guy.

Throwers are usually pretty nuts, too
