Mikhail Koklyaev, the great Russian, has recently posted a video on his youtube channel, that’s translated as “The first pull after surgery” by yandex (the russian equivalent to google). After a long time he once again is showing some actual training footage of him deadlifting and log pressing. Is he coming back to attack the deadlift record?

He may be spurred on by Yuriy Belkin’s recent 418kg sumo-pull, which beat Mikhail’s old russian record by half a kilo. A while ago (at the seminar for the supertraining guys) he announced his plans to elevate the record again – after taking a break from his injuries – the time then has come, I guess.

Update:

More training footage – today Misha has uploaded another video, which roughly translates as “Review Koklyaev about the new record in the deadlift!”. This time he is presenting some block pulls, squats and supposedly “reviewing Yuriy’s record”.
