Chat with Mikhail Berezin
Strongman Atlas Stone Specialist
About Mikhail Berezin
In the rain-slicked gravel of the 2019 Europe’s Strongest Man final in Madrid, Mikhail Berezin didn’t just lift the heaviest Atlas stone, he redefined pacing strategy for the event. While others relied on explosive power, he executed a deliberate, three-phase ascent: grip lock at knee height, controlled hip drive through mid-range, and a near-motionless pause at chest level before locking out, proving that biomechanical efficiency could trump raw mass in elite stone lifting. His 165 kg stone lift remains the only time a competitor has matched that weight with sub-7-second consistency across three consecutive contests. Beyond stones, he pioneered the 'Berezin carry', a modified yoke walk stance that redistributes load from lumbar to posterior chain, now taught in Russian regional strongman academies. His influence isn’t measured in titles alone but in how younger athletes now train grip endurance not as accessory work, but as neurological sequencing, something he documented in his 2021 technical notes for the Russian Federation of Strength Sports.
