Opinion
Mukhamed Mahmudov, father of Akzhol Mahmudov:
– My children are stubborn. In order for them to draw conclusions from defeats, I practice peculiar punishments. In 2019, the eldest son Beksultan lost in the competition. There is a gym in Bishkek, where we had the opportunity to train for free. I took the kids there to do some physical training. Akzhol then had a leg injury, but also left. We took turns lifting a barbell weighing 90 kilograms, and Akzhol lifted it 10-15 times more than all of us. They added weight, he still lifted more … After lifting weights, you need to rest a little before doing other exercises, and Akzhol did not even rest. I observed him and came to the conclusion that his muscles do not tire or recover very quickly.
