A question about a video on youtube

May 17, 2012

Those questioning the validity of the Russian Video may also enjoy this one

I make no claims or speculations regarding this video, but I think some will

have definite opinions.

My only comment is the only bar that bends is at the end of the video, and

not from weight. : )

Re: A question about a video on youtube

Sure it would - it would fund their retirement someday .

Training videos, books, world records, and in some federations, cold hard

cash - appearance fees and prize money.

That's why this is a bit suspect - perhaps he was stronger once - and

perhaps the person who put the weights on there is not correct - but

Guinness does not have him listed, and his other things are a bit stuntish -

like phone book tearing, there is a trick to some of it rather than overall

power/strength.

Just saying that if he were truly as strong as the video suggests, he would

indeed make some money. Russia and other countries have had some VERY

lucrative PL and strongman events...drawing Americans and well, the world

overall.

If he truly were this strong, it would only enhance his income and his

reputation to do meets and make money - the questions arise because his

weights are not weighed officially, and the rest of the questions.

The kettlebell org would be smart to sponsor him to do a meet or two, with a

real PL org - and prove their hero - they too would gain from this.

Otherwise it's in the world of fake plates, like many other persons without

the credentials...and if he is truly this strong, that would be a shame,

right?
