Here's the video of Vlad Alhazov's 1,250 pound all-time record squat from Sunday at the IPA Columbus Pro-Am:

Although I question Vlad's form in accordance to the rules, it's still awesome just to see someone have that much weight on their back and not collapse under it - much less squat it!

You would think that there would be a better camera job for a world record lift.

"muthaf**ka back is strong as hell."

I thought he was going to fall forward for a second.

The camera work is obviously from a spectator. I'm sure there's better footage of the lift somewhere online. This was just the one I happened to find first.
