Konstantin Konstantinovs Trains for WPC Raw Worlds

Kostia is numer one ! I want to see how he trains bench press . Even with his long arms he is extremely strong at the bench press .

Man , he looks lean.

dude is a freak. amazing power

This guy never ceases to amaze me. Awesome strength.

Um...no belt on that squat? Yikes!!!

That's Awesome!!!

And they say Super Heroes only live in comic books… They obviously have not seen KK…

UNREAL!

The fact that he close gripped 550 raw/paused in his last meet as well is just insane. IMO, he is the strongest guy walking the planet right now. He also has the classic powerfull physique of old we don't see much of in this sport anymore. KK is the man. I would like to see Koklyeav strictly train for a PL meet and go head to head againist KK.

...continued from my above post- Raw Unity would be a good place for this to happen!

KK is the man. There were only videos of his pulls for ages and I thought he was a one-lift fella, but he's gotta be one of the best raw squatters going and has a sick bench.

Dave:

I totally agree!

:)

KK is my main source of motivation ! Absoultey amazing !

His first squat was high...he's human, he's human! lol. The guy is awesome! Just pure power though and through.

I wonder which lift he did first in the workout as he is wearing the same stuff in both videos...just amazing.

No, He should stay in credible meets...maybe you should try it...

he is a monster. I don't see anyone touching him at a raw meet.

Kostia is 100% beast. If this guy came to the Raw Unity meet i would cum in my pants. This guy would probably to 2250+++lbs in the 308s. Just blows my mind.

Thats gross dude.

Deadlift 939 @ 262 is insanity. The guy is a freak of nature. 900+ deadlifts are almost as rare as 1200+ lb squats. Then add the fact he weighs way less than 300 lbs. Coan's 901 @ 242 is about the closest feat to this. KK's accomplishments will be remembered for a long time. He is already a legend in the sport. What will his career defining moment be? Will he pull more? How does he maintain that level of strength at his low bodyweight w/o overtraining?

coan was 220

Sorry bout that!

I thought Koonstantine was 282?

They were talking about Andy Bolton getting a 900 deadlift and 600 bench. Then they said that Nick Winters might get there too, but I think Konstantin might do it first.

RUM has more credibility than the APF!

Nothing can touch coan's 901@220. 939@262(if that was his weight) w/out a belt is close but he was at least 42 lbs heavier than coan. Coan still gets the nod.

He was in the 308's, so he had to be above 275. Stupid strong either way!

God, I don't want to kill the issue, or the debate, but I believe that Bolton has KK beaten both RAW and geared. Bolton has pulled 943 RAW, squatted 905 RAW, and Bench Pressed 607 RAW. KK(K) is definately a powerful SOB, but I wished people would quit saying that he's stronger than Bolton.

When did bolton do those lifts at a meet?

bolton does 495 raw bench
750 raw squat and can go raw 900 deadlift
but trains and competes geared.so it doesnt matter to him i guess

How did they compute that 286 lbs of bands please?

(And it looks like he's got some way of fastening them to his platform and a plate on top to make sure nothing really fun happens - if one breaks?)

Just curious.

lmao...why do people make up numbers

OH yeah? Well Paul Anderson squatted a dump truck when he was 12!!!

I'm also curious about this. I've deadlifted using bands before and was wondering if there was any easy way to tell how much it was adding at the top.

286lbs is 130 kilos and it is probably just a guess. Marc Bartley posted on elitefts that the jump stretch bands were 1, 2 and 3 lbs per inch of stretch for purple, green and blue bands, respectively. His source was the manufacturer of the bands. the amount of weight added by the bands will vary with how they are tied and the height of each lifter. One way to test how much weight is being added is to measure the length of the bands at the top of the lift, then set up the bands tied the same way but over a chin bar and add weights until the same length of stretch is achieved. Alternatively, the stretch per inch numbers can be used to calculate band weight but this only applies to new bands.

I wonder what Zydrunas Savickas pulls in the gym. I'd be willing to bet on a good day he can pull over a 1000 w/o gear on. If he focused on powerlifting for a few months he would own all the raw records. If he can log press 440+ (which is much harder than an olympic clean and jerk) he can probably bench 600+ pretty handily w/o training specifically for it. He currently holds a lot of World Records in strongman. He was the Lithuanian powerlifting champ a long while back. The more static the lift is the better he does which is perfect for powerlifting. Send Big Z to Westside for three months so he can get up to snuff on the latest training methods.

Savickas tied Gillingham on total at the IPF Worlds around 2000, he then went into strongman. He is much stronger now than back in 2000. Not sure why he'd need to go to Westside - his own methods seem to be working just fine!

hes gotta be the strongest man in the world at the mo, hes incredible

If you wanna play that game Sweeney, we sure can do it! I am guessing you are representing the APF in saying this. My last full meet was May 2nd, APF classic meet. The meet director was 45 minutes late for weigh-ins the day of the meet. The meet results are still not in, IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS, and there are a lot of lifters that would be ranked very high in the lifter rankings, too bad for them. Credible, I think not, worry about your own house before tearing down others. I don't know you and with your smartass comments I don't care to. I just wiped my ass with my APF card and will never lift in it again, have a nice day Sweeney! Sorry to hijack the thread of a great lifter.

you stand on a scale, get your weight, then pull the bar with the bands and see what the scale says. Subtract your BW and the weight of the bar, you have a real close figure to how much the bands are adding at the top.
