Whereas Dimitrov didn’t state his physique weight on the time of his raise within the caption of his put up, he did comment that the raise was 5 instances his physique weight, which might equate to his competitors physique weight of 100 kilograms. Provided that his most up-to-date powerlifting meet was the 2023 Eisenhart Black Competitors on Dec. 3, 2023, in Bavaria, Germany, it will make sense that he weighed 100 kilograms on the time of this coaching raise.
The Black Competitors has featured a few of the heaviest deadlifts in competitors by notable athletes within the strongman area, together with Ivan Makarov (486 kilograms), Rauno Heinla (452.5 kilograms), and 2017 World’s Strongest Man (WSM) Eddie Corridor (420 kilograms) — Corridor was the primary athlete to ever lockout a 500-kilogram deadlift in 2016 at that 12 months’s World Deadlift Championships (WDC).
Dimitrov has the fourth-heaviest deadlift ever pulled on the Black Competitors — 430 kilograms — and it appears clear from his coaching that he’s well-equipped to exceed that mark by a big variety of kilograms.
Per Open Powerlifting, Dimitrov has solely competed in two sanctioned powerlifting meets: the 2019 and 2021 World Uncooked Powerlifting Federation (WRPF) World Championships in Moscow, Russia, within the uncooked (w/wraps) class, to gold-medal finishes.
