Strongman Career

Mikhail started training in the sport of strongman at the age of 27. The reason behind him becoming a strongman is that in Siberia there are many strong people and he wanted to emulate them. When he retires, he hopes to open his own Strongman training centre.[1] Mikhail achieved his first big success by winning the 2013 Arnold amateur competition[2] which allowed him to compete in the professional 2014 Arnold Classic, in which he would place 7th.
