Raimonds Bergmanis

This guy blew my mind. I watched the 2003 Hawaiin grand prix last night and he did 11 reps on the deadlift with 275kg (about 610 pounds) using an apollons axle. Along with Savickas he is going to bo a real contender at this years worlds imo.

that's f*cking insane with a thick axle. I really wonder if I could ever get that strong

He has to be one of my favorites from the current pro's.

I watched it aswell, they had a hard time holding on to it.. I think mariusz? had managed more if he had a stronger grip.

Another cool thing about Raimonds is that he usually wears little to no support equipment
