Inspiration from Konstantin Konstantinovs

If you have a heavy strength workout planned for today, Konstantin Konstantinovs is an excellent source of inspiration.  I’ve never had an interest in powerlifting, but I certainly appreciate and respect this man’s amazing strength.

As for the video, there is no need for an explanation.  Beast is the first word that comes to mind.  Incredible is close behind…

    Steroids is the third word that comes to my mind.

    I don’t know what he does or doesn’t do. He is busting his ass as hard as ANYONE. You will rarely see that kind of strength ANYWHERE.

    Amazing! Makes me want to pull! Thanks for posting!

    Wow. Well the Soviets always were on top in heavy athletics. Ross can we see you do his with one hand in another vid?

    Sorry Ross, but those were not the words that came to my mind. It went more like this…Holy F_ck_ng S_it!! That’s…then I think his straining popped something in MY head! That’s an incredible feat and highly motivating!

    RAWWWW, pure strength man! Very Inspiring, just look at the barbell bend.

    Yeah! The power of Latvia! :)

    ‘Steroids’? That’s just plain stupid. Lots of people do steroids and THEY don’t get world record deadlifts.

    Not to mention, Kons is most likely clean. He lifts in a RAW organization that is pretty strict with their drug tests.

    Don’t be a hater. Be inspired.

    Yes, he probably is using steroids.

    But then again a lot of men are using steroids that couldn’t even touch the amount of weight he just pulled.

    A simple weekly injection isn’t going to magically make you lift weights like that. You are definitely going to have to bust your ass.

    I think that it is retarded that you guys would go straight to saying that he is using steroids! Cant anyone just bust their ass and pull big numbers? why do you always have to say “yeah he is on steroids” just cause you cant do doesn’t mean that someone else kicking their own ass and is determined to get a world record cant do it. Just cause you have no dedication doesn’t mean that he doesn’t. instead of hating go lift Pussy!

    why do people think he’s using steroids? can’t people believe that this guy has put in the hard work to get to that point?

  12. Josh December 21st, 2009 6:53 pm

    you got me wrong boys, I don’t give a sht if he is juicing. Steroids or no, the guy is fcking awesome.

    you guys might like that one

    the commentator says (summed up): usually powerlifters wear special singlets to maximize performance but Konstantinov can’t afford one, so he just wears some random shirt… and sets a new world record here.

    So when you cannot afford a singlet, I guess you don’t have the money for steroids either… maybe he started juicing later but this is just speculation…

    –> “Don’t be a hater. Be inspired.” ;-)

    Juice or no juice that was phenomenal. I powerlift and I don’t know of anyone that can do that even with suits and belts. Notice this guy is not wearing a belt!!!or a suit.
