The Animal Underground: Andrey Malanichev, World Record Squat

Animal athlete Andrey Malanichev breaks his previous squat world record by more than 10 pounds. Malanichev competed in a full powerlifting WRPF Asian Cup meet (5/1/16) in Kazakhstan in May. Despite his torn pec, Andrey was able to overcome adversity and absolutely crush this meet – and hit just 44 LB shy of his “full power“ world record. Imagine his performance if healthy. It boggles the mind. Squat: 1,058lb (480kg) WR Bench: 507lb (230kg) Dead: 893lb (405kg) Total: 2,458lb
