Are you a spammer or something?

Posting the same topics twice as your only posts?

Besides that, a lot of people do not believe that this guy is for real, including me ;)

Sorry for the double post- I'm not used to posting. I prefer to read.

Even when I was a kid Dikul was already famous in Soviet Union for his strength.

it' an amazing person. Actually he had his spine broken when he was young.

There were all representatifs of russian powerliftig present when he did those lifts.

I have no doubt he's a strong guy, but with just a quick Google search, you get all kinds of conflicting reports. Some say he's 60 years old, and some say he's 70. One sayd he broke his back when he was 16, and another source says he was 24. Other of his feats sound like old time strongman myths, like bending a coin in his hands and juggling balls that weigh over 80 lbs each. The fact is he's a circus performer.

He was born in 1948. He was 18 maybe less when he had his accident. And he was 51 when the video was filmed.

He doesn't like PL much 'cause he says it makes him slow.

Some russian lifters who had a chance to train with him say that he's not a human: his training loads are

absolutely ridiculous and he could never find a training partner because of that
