which of these two is your favourite and who is stronger 🤔

3 WEEKS OUT! 🔥 Who takes the title? Olympia heating up! 🏆

He worked as a professional bodyguard in the dangerous underworld of Latvian security. He started in gymnastics at age 6, moved to judo and wrestling, and was deadlifting 475 lbs by the time he was 15.

Then Konstantin Konstantinovs walked up to 939 lbs of raw iron, beltless, and pulled it until the bar bent.

- World record raw, beltless deadlift: 426 kg (939 lbs)
- Over 6'3", 300+ lbs, never wore a belt in competition
- Trained abs like most people train their main lifts, because that *was* his belt

What most people don't know is how he actually trained the deadlift, including a technique principle around upper back rounding that coaches still argue about today.

If you've ever wondered how someone pulls 939 lbs with nothing but a pair of shorts and a concrete core, this story is worth your time.

Full breakdown in the comments.

Any idea how much weight is on the bar?

Athlete of the day, Raul Flores

Some people don't know who he is ... But the world needs to know. On 09/05/2026 he got the strongman deadlift record of 511kg, passing up Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson - The Mountain

I want you all to not only congratulate him, but follow him on his Facebook profile and on Instagram.

Oh yeah, he's 26

🏋️ Anatoly’s Deadlift: 290 kg at ~78 kg Bodyweight

Did you know? Anatoly is known for performing an impressive 290 kg (639 lbs) deadlift while weighing around 78 kg.

📊 Strength-to-bodyweight calculation:

290 kg ÷ 78 kg = 3.72× bodyweight

That means the lift shown is approximately 3.7 times his bodyweight. 💪

This is a great example of why strength isn’t determined by body size alone. Technique, training consistency, leverage, coordination, and years of practice all contribute to performance.

⚠️ Educational note: Bodyweight and lift numbers can vary depending on the specific event, date, and source, so the figures above follow the numbers shown in this poster.

Calculator:
290 ÷ 78 = 3.72× BW

💪 ANATOLY: THEN & NOW 💪

Every transformation has a beginning. Before the fame, viral videos, and worldwide recognition, Vladimir “Anatoly” Shmondenko was simply a young man with big dreams and a passion for becoming stronger.

🏋️ THEN: The beginning of a fitness journey—building strength, learning, and working toward bigger goals.

🔥 NOW: Known worldwide for his incredible strength, entertaining gym content, and unforgettable “Anatoly” character.

The lesson? Great transformations don’t happen overnight. Progress comes from consistency, discipline, patience, and believing in your potential even when nobody else sees it yet.

📌 Remember: Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s current chapter. Start where you are, keep improving, and let your progress tell the story.

THEN ➡️ NOW. SMALL STEPS ➡️ BIG RESULTS. 💪
