Looks like Misha tore a callus on the 402.5?

Cool, thanks for sharing.
Yeah, that's what it looks like.
my brain must be broken today. thought you posted pounds. wtf. then again i had about 4 hours sleep and lifted after work
A rather poignant demonstration of how the strongest lifter doesn't always win. Koklyaev was (by far) the strongest, but because he didn't make his 2nd attempt at 402.5 (his best is 415) he lost to a weaker lifter who made all his attempts.
I wouldn't have thought that he was by far the strongest, Klyushev's pulled 400 in comp and their are vids of him pulling 420 and 430 with straps (mind you he may not currently be pulling at that level). Would have been interested to see what Misha would have done for a 3rd lift (if he was going to do one).
