Konstantin Konstantinov - 55 pullups
Damn.
http://beyondstrong.typepad.com/my_w...-circuit-.html
Konstantinov is a PL'er and I think he competes as a 125kg lifter?

Jeez. With a half/little kip even!
I'm thinking there are some metcons that he could easily go out and set new records on, with little to no training. See Donny Shankle and "Grace".
"Linda" would be a joke to that guy.

Wow, amazing to watch.
Interesting Deadlifting also - rounded back certainly doesn't look like unintentional "bad form" as the geniuses on youtube say, but quite purposeful. Almost like having longer arms and a shorter torso.

It looks like he was doing a slight butterfly kip.

I imagine with the amount of power that guy generates in his hips, even a weee leeeetle kip gives noticeble boost.
I love his nastyround back style, but it's certainly particular to his build.
I think if more people learned to handle modest loads round back on a regular but not excessive basis, stuff like haybales, log rounds, bags of feed, the number of back injuries would go waaaaay down. |

What makes me think that he could score a Fran world record?
Well, that is, if he could control his laughter at the sight of a 95lb barbell.
