2011-02-28 11:27:00

New to the IronMind Youtube Channel, and the latest in the IronMind Big Lift Series, we’ve added the Ivan Chakarov 270-kg x 3 back squat.

No belt, no wraps, no spotters: 91-kg Ivan Chakarov squats 270 kg for a triple in the training hall at the 1993 World Weightlifting Championships. IronMind® | Randall J. Strossen photo.

Always an IronMind favorite, Ivan Chakarov hit iconic status after the photo and the term “No-no-no squat” hit paper and screen alike.
