Re: A question about a video on youtube

Not to be argumentative, but he does not show up on the world record site at all. The best vetted "world records" of this sort would be the Guinness World Records - probably trademarked etc.
They hold official world record setting events at times, there was a strength one held in Milan, Italy not that long ago. I know 1 of the ladies who participated.
Without someone weighing out the plates, and overseeing the loading other than saying it's that weight, I don't buy it with regard to what I saw on the videos provided on this gentleman - sorry.
There are amazing feats of strength in the world, and I've seen a few - but there are also a lot of fake plates and other things out there, again, I go with Mel's comments about this sort of thing. I stand with those who do not agree with this performance as "real" in that the weights do not appear to be those stated on the video - and also with those who suggest that if the kettlebell club wants us to believe their tape is correct, the man in question should show up as a lifter at ANY reasonable federation's competition and perform that deadlift. There are untested federations out there where he would not be drug tested, and they would have weighed plates and be sure the load is proper - and he would have NO MORE QUESTIONS! The federation may even PAY to see him do it.... :)
