Is Anatoly legit or fake weights?

[Steve Freides]

Thank you, i did not see that

It's a great website for the sport of powerlifting. You can also choose between several scoring systems including DOTS and Wilkes points. Run by volunteers. They've been great when I've reported errors in some of my results.

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.

Volunteering as an IWF plate loader has made me neurotic about bad plate loading.

If real, he’s gimping his lift

So 463lb - 320lb - 639lb for squat bench deadlift at ~165lbs.

me =))
I even have collar inside before loading plates. You know, sumo

That seems surprisingly ... low. His best total is 1030lbs, with a 330 squat / 270 bench / 430 deadlift (in lbs).

I haven't watched a whole lot of his stuff but I thought what I did watch was amusing. Just a smaller sized strong mofo who found a niche on YouTube and nothing wrong with that. I'd rather watch some of his stuff than pranks that are staged and not even funny.

What all the kettlebell (and surrounding world) podcasts have taught me is:

the combination of "Vladimir" + a last name that ends in "ansky" or "enko" implies legitimacy and legendary status.

And if it ends in "chko" or "tin" doesn't it imply such a status
I'm joking, of course

So, my investigation seems to imply that Mr. Anatoly does not seem to have competed in a federation.
this seems to be a very similar story to Clarence Kennedy as far as I can tell.

Clarence Kennedy

Now that man is a monster. Incredible lifter.

Monster lifter - does NOT compete in a federation.
he apparently has his reasons.

Correct, he stopped competing when started juicing. I don't think he makes a big deal about it, but he also hasn't hid it.

His tricking and lifting combo reminds me of JUJIMUFU

He did, he was just younger.

That seems very strange to me. When I was about 16 I deadlifted 405, benched 255, and squatted in the 300’s at 165 pounds. And power cleaned 245. He has to be capable of much more than that with the stuff he posts in his pranks or he stages it with fake weights. I guess I should’ve competed in an actual federation instead of the high school lifting team.

 

[Halfakneecap]

He’s definitely strong, but its funny once and that’s it.
