Andrey Belyaev Claims 13th Highest Total of All-Time

Unbelievable Belyaev!!!! waouh!! I am sure he could increase his total (more than 450 squat 300 bench and 370 deadlift will be possible in 100 kg class). He did 1070 kg (100,5 kg body weight)using single ply (Cup of Titans 2009)

Wow that squat looked effortless. Wonder what weight and how he missed his other squats...

Strange he missed that pull - he did it raw at the WPC Raw Worlds.

His deadlift is fast and easy, I think he can lift 390, and he can collect 1200 in nearest time (he only must to use multi ply a little better)

As evidenced by his similar numbers raw and single-ply, it looks like he's having some growing pains lifting multi-ply. Granted he's probably only lifted that way for a few months. I see he was in an Ace Squatter, does anyone know if he had briefs on? It also looks like he was still in a single-ply bench shirt. If he wants to still be compared to Frankl he's going to have to get alot more technical w/ that shirt to maximize carry over. As well, try and get SOME pounds from his suit on the dead. Still, 13th All-Time ain't too shabby for getting shit from you gear, relatively speaking.

apparently he dumped the bar on his first two attempts. Clearly the dude had more in him than that 420.

Comparing Frankl to Belyaev is like comparing Duane Bobick to Muhammad Ali?

He's already got it in my book. He's established himself as a powerhouse in the IPF, and now he's crossing over and will eventually do the same. All respect due to Shawn Frankl, but Frankl has only lifted in one discipline, he can't be called the greatest.

and comparing you with duane bobick is like comparing my dog's shit to pizza.

Seriously, you guys are such fanatics of Andrey that you disrespect other lifters for absolutely no reason but immaturity.

The truth is, a lot of people on here have proven how simple minded and stupid they are with all their "predictions" of what belyav will suddenly start doing and will do..... yet the guy lives countries away and you guys know absolutely nothing about him and from my point of view, with your stupid specalution, know jack shit about powerlifting.

Frankl's best total is 300lbs+ from this guy, he's got a long ways to go to be at Frankl's level in multi-ply. Right now, he's best competition is clint smith and mike schwanke. I wouldn't even think of matching him up with Frankl.

Honestly, I thought we would see something a little bigger from Belyaev in this sanction with the multi ply gear, take what you want drugs, 24 hour weigh in and looser rules. However, when you compare it to the 2009 IPF Worlds results from last month, we see a 72 pound difference in totals from Belyaev and the 220 IPF winner. Not much when you consider the differing factors mentioned above. The next weight class above went 2314.

He pulled 20kg less than he did raw at WPW Raw Worlds.

He's only had a few months to get used to the multiply stuff after all.

Totally agree with the above post.All of this speculation about what Andrey will lift in multiply is complete b.s.He is not even close to Frankl...It will take him several years to learn how to get the most out of equipment.Plus,some people never learn how to use equipment right...they just suck with equipment period.And they will never really be great while wearing multiply.Sorry,you don't just get 350 pounds out of a multiply sqt. suit...well maybe one guy in a thousand does.

it really goes to show all the people who believe multi ply numbers are sooooo easy to accomplish , because of an extra layer or two, you will get 500lbs on your total. wrong! his numbers really arent that different from his single ply.. at least not yet.

Hey Jon Rock i could not agree withyou more.

I would at least give him 2-3 years in multi ply before any comparisons to him and frankl are made. Frankl is one of the best lifters all around I would like to see him in single ply so people would shut up about how easy multi ply is.

Of course he's not gonna get 500lbs after a few months in double ply, not to mention his shirt was single and he only got one (really easy) squat. Good lord just say congratulations.

He did the same he did in IPF, open your eyes, it was a bad day. No one do the same in half squat as in full squat.

So much power wasted!!!

It was not a half squat!!! open your eyes guy! I was a good lift ..

you will be eating those words very soon.

boy the ammt of anonymous cry babies grows.

On the powerliftinguk site someone posted a comment saying that Belyaev dumped the bar twice in the squat. No DQ, of course.

Someone else wondered why no results are being posted anywhere, even though Brian B is posting comments to that forum during the meet.

Good question.

Andrey dumped 450 twice and injured one of the spotters. afaik he did not wear any briefs, only the ace suit and 2m titan wraps.

also his bench is 280, not 290. he got it on third attempt after two unsuccessfull attempts

Frankl wouldhave beaten him at this cntest if he took sensible lifts.

1. His total was awesome

2. Multi-ply gear has a learning curve. He's not there yet to challenge Frankl. He may not ever like it and everything else is speculation.

3. It's a lot easier to have bad days in multi-ply because of the gear itself.

Putt Houston.... now with Ridiculous BCWW

Dumped the bar and nearly injured the soldiers spotting, I have no resepect for him. He used a double ply squat suit and did have briefs on, I watched him pull them on as he was at the far side of the warm up room in the corner. Frankl will beat him if he adds another 20kg to his pull!!!

He lifted in single ply!

If unlikely Frankl will put 30 kilo's on his DL!

Mind you if he put the 6 inches on his squat that are currently AWOL he'd lose about 4X that!

i don't really care about any of this but why do so many think this guy can even beat Frankl? personally i don't think this guy can beat frankl on his best day. those that are waiting for this guy to get better at using multi ply gear are assuming Frankl will somehow all of a sudden stop improving. WHY IS THAT?????????

The point is that Belyaev is a different calibre of athlete entirely.

In the 90's they compared Tony Kamand and Jesse Kellum to Coan because of their lifts in fringe organisations. The truth is however that Belyaev is the first lifter since Coan who may be close to being an equal.

he isnt even close ot the caliber of frankl or coan, you have to beat the best to be the best. so far he hasnt totaled more than either. potential is one thing,what you actually do is entirely another
