Valantin Dikul
I recently found a video of Valantin Dikul Powerlifting on Youtube.
The weights he lifted were:
Bench 260kg = 572lb
Deadlift 460kg = 1012lb
Squat 450kg = 990lb
Video of this here
After digging a bit deeper I found the video below.
The kettlebells are reportedly 180lb. Yes that's right 180lb. Judging by what he can lift with the powerlifting moves this is no suprise. But in his late fifties when he did it. WOW! Just shows there's no reason not to keep on getting stronger or at least maintaining it as we get older.
Also, I found a great bio on Valantin Dikul here. Reporting how he broke his back in 1962. Maybe this is the original bionic man.
It has certainly inspired me.
I hope you enjoy
