I was at the USPA Metroflex power lift meet in Long Beach,Ca yesterday and i was fortune enough to see Pavel's father Vladimir a 77 year old gentleman pull a 413 lb deadlift for a USPA American record in the deadlift only division.On top of that he won the best lifter award combining all masters DL only competitors by formula using bodyweight,age and pounds lifted.He went truly raw no belt just a singlet,shoes and a T shirt.My hats off to Pavel for guiding his dad's training and Vladimir for doing what was required.Very inspiring!
 
Awesome! Congratulations to your father, Pavel!
 
Great job. Curious minds are wondering what Pavel can pull.
 
Congratulations to Vladimir! I love to see older guys pull poundages that most younger guys couldn't, always makes me think of the In Flames song called Egonomic and contemplate where we are heading as a society.

In Flames - Egonomic

A mass illusion
Blind men in a line
They smother their fires with gasoline

A stranger's contribution
Everybody's on the run
No clue where they are heading

A spineless attempt
Have we lost it completely?
It always ends up in a mess

A liar's ambition
Praised like a king
Every day in every way
We are getting weaker

You won't go far
With the life that you're living
Every day in every way
We are getting weaker

Slow and calculated
Afraid of the sleeping
We'll never ever reach the goal
 
Much respect! Great to see a father and son doing anything together, especially something like that.  Congrats to you both....so cool.
