Mikhail Koklyaev Appreciation Thread
 

One of the most impressive all around lifters ever.



300kg no hands

What a guy :adore:

Weightlifting




Strongman

Look at that squat.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
He had another 100lbs left on that total!

Wow! Might as well ask it here.... What's the point or benifit of squatting without holding the bar? Yes it's impressive, but it looks unsafe and maybe I'm just too inexperienced to know but I see no benifit form or strength wise of doing that? Is there any actual benifit or is it just showing off, for lack of better terms?

I asume its to force you to stay upright/ tight backed, but really no idea.

So basically balance added to the lift, that makes sense....

Ok back to epic lifts!

160kg stone
