Before breaking the raw world records, Alhazov was an equipped lifter and had squatted 567abbr=onNaNabbr=on in multi-ply equipment, but during an attempt at 590abbr=onNaNabbr=on at Westside Barbell in 2008, he suffered a severe injury when his left knee caved inwards, requiring complete knee reconstruction.[2]
