Whatever, Mike Tuchsherer has El Gordo quads and is actually clean.

Brent Tanaka said...

yea, he's pretty crazy too. isn't he only like 23?

Belyaev is possibly the strongest powerlifter on the planet. Other candidates include J. Olech, B. Sniders, and S. Fodesienko (or whatever). Belyaev was hitting very similar numbers as a junior as well. Tuscherererererererer is strong, but not in Belyaev's league yet.

thanks for the brief bio. i just happened see some of his lifts on youtube...the man is a fuckin beast.

Nathan Beckmann said...

He's Russian ... holds the IPF WRs at 198 for squat and total, IIRC. He trains Sheiko-style (although he is super advanced so his training looks like 5 days a week of insane shit), partly my inspiration for going to Sheiko. Occasionally stuff he does gets on PLWatch. As a 220 I believe he's totaled 2300, which is roughly what Tuschererererer totals, so Belyaev > Tuscherererer. Feel free to correct me.

Phil Russell said...

Sure, but then again the RPF got suspended (multiple times) from IPF competition, so...

Nathan Beckmann said...

True, and Belyaev in particular has been caught and on the verge of a lifetime ban (if you believe the rumor mill at PLWatch, that is). But he still does things that other people in his same situation aren't able to do. He would break records any style of lifting he chose to adopt.

I'm not 100% sure why you say "Tuscherereererer is clean". Its not like we know the guy. I'm not saying he is using, but lets just admit we don't know.

Phil Russell said...

Sure, but he has been tested many times both in and out of contest, both at the National and International levels. Plus, if you read his training log he has his fair share of off days. Granted, yeah, we don't know him, so can't say for certain.
