    What I find amazing about him is his seeming nonchalance. My jaw dropped every time he lifted, because he'd just walk up to the bar and... succeed. Like it weren't no thang. An awesome display of Zen. Or autism. Or something.

    A real pleasure to watch, but you have to pay attention, or the lift will be over before you were aware he was even getting ready to perform it.

    I was sitting right there, 3 rows from the front and it was incredible. Clearly wasnt his max that day, he looked like he was doing his opener.

    Thank god I went to that session and not the 105's as Klokov and Akkaev have pulled out. Between them and Aramnau not in it, not many left to watch!

    One of the finest moments of weightlifting right there.

    I was there, it was amazing. He actually went on to the break that world record with his next lift of 233kg. In comparison to the other lifters he made the bar look weightless. He possibly even had another few kgs in him.

    That guy is amazing. Walks up and pulls it like its nothin. I love how fast he goes from recovering the clean to the jerk.

    Rip was wrong. No need to kill yourself doing heavy squats and such. The secret is eating horse meat. Whats that go for a pound these days?

    I watched the event live (streaming on my laptop). Ilyin made child's play of that event. I love how, on every lift, he walks up and, without hestitation, grabs the bar and goes. Badassery.
