I remember at the 105’s world championship in Houston, before the session got underway Klokov entered the side door, as a spectator. All eyes were on him. He was the biggest star in the arena. As always, he came off as very humble. Shaking hands, smiling and taking pictures with anyone who approached.
Watching the Klokov Power Weekend power clean + strict press competition is the ultimate pre workout. Thanks for directing me to him for a good press starting position lads
Weird isn't it that they were able to do that competition witu no cheating, why TF couldn't they just do that in the olympics Any slight bit of cheat you're out!
Late-teenage years Klokov is such a beast. Not sure when they got him started on a stack, but in the early vids he looks like a kid with great genes that grew up in the weight room.
Nichidai's weightlifting team has a great energy and some good lifters. There are 2 very recent videos of the team maxing out on the channel we lift weights. The videos center around 4 lifters: Mitsunori Konnai, Shota Fuwa, Daisuke Shishido, and Masashi Nishikawa. Masashi Nishikawa is an 18 year old 96kg lifter who is snatching 150kg. His footwork in the clean is interesting to say the least. Even if you guys decide not to do commentary on these, the energy of the gym is so great that you've just got to watch.
I believe there has to be some truth to him having extra political protection. Him lasting all the way until the most recent round of suspensions for his second failure is pretty crazy given how gassed up he surely was.
Damn that’s freakin Adorable! if I was His dad I’d be so proud to watch him grow up and lift. Having a son follow in your footsteps is a miracle in life can you imagine?
@@kblkbl at the russian championship in 2005, dmitry lifted as a super weighing 108.5 (less than 110) and hit 202.5+240 for 442.5, more than his dad. In training dmitry snatched 206 and cj 245 for 451, still more thab 200+250
Well Klokov kind of got popped by proxy so this is in good timing I guess. I just wish they all doped without testing and did huge paused snatches in training halls
Klokov has a training montage on his IGTV tab, all his best training lifts I watch it regularly, would be great for one of these if you want to revisit him
