[gbg]

Haha me neither gbg has serious skillz...

I wish I could take credit for that, Bosko skillz!!!

a buddy from the snapper thread.

[someonefat]

205 off blocks wtf?

I wish I could bend like that, very flexible if I attempted that type of form my knees would explode.

[dirtyjerz]

i just started putting olympic lifts into my regiment, i've been trolling this forum a little bit, reading the stickies etc.

i just felt necessary to say that this guy's an animal.

[gewaltiger]

he's my hero. he was the first olympic lifter i liked and who got me into training oly specifically

[/\/\ichael]

Do you guys know if he will compete at the 2010 WWC?

[mikasd]

i know this thread is really old. but god damn I love klokov.

[winston43]

klokov a great lifter in weightlifting . should now show versatility and get into powerlifting . and reacgh 1050 kilos total and yes .

[seniorgonzo]

just discovered this guy through lift run bang, what a beast. Anyone know what his lifts are now? Although probably of secondary importance to him, but he does squat/dead/bench as well, anyone know what his numbers are for these as well?

can't wait to see him in london

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Klokov could get a 2000 lb PLing total if he tested it, using an Oly squat rather than a PL squat, all raw, with no belt.

[seniorgonzo]

fuk makes me want to start oly. The way he makes it seem so effortless. After my ss run, I'm definetly gonna try to find a place nearby to learn the lifts.

Keep in mind several things. Klokov has been doing this a LONG time, like 10+years. The Oly lifts will not magically make you stronger in the power lifts. They will make you more powerful and explosive, yes, and you can get stronger, but not necessarily in the Oly lifts!!

I'm not trying to keep you from learning the lifts, far from it, but I don't want you to think you'll magically get jacked in the PL's just by adding the Oly lifts to your training.

I didn't think that at all. It's motivating in that it wants me to lift. For some watching Greg Plitt gets them to go to the gym and annihilate their body, for me watching this makes me want to go the gym and become stronger.

Perepetchenov (77kg cj WR) did a meet and got a 1760lb total with room to spare. He oly squatted 320kg.

Yeah, Oleg is a total freak show. You probably already saw his 220 cj @ 85 kg and 34 years old

Yeah but i'm wondering why he didn't try a comeback considering that was only 2 years ago. I know alot of people screamed "that wasn't drug tested" but it's not as if he'd lose 20kg with drug testing. Even accounting for a drop in numbers he'd be in the medals @85.

Cool!! Whatever gets you motivated, I say!!

I've just seen several lifters who are trying to find the magic pill/workout/training system and think that adding stuff like the Oly lifts will magically get them stronger and faster just by doing the lifts. They burn out real fast when they learn how hard the Oly lifts really are.

Good luck to you, sir!!

I think we'll start to see this with the new IPF Raw Worlds. Obviously not the top lifters like Klokov but with second tier lifters that aren't going to make it to the olympics. In this year's inaugural raw world championships there were lots of ex-oly lifters from countries like Greece and some other European countries.

And it could also work the other way around with top powerlifters going into Olympic lifting.
I think the best example is Alex Edward Raus. He recently broke the world record in the raw squat for his weight category (though top Olympic lifters have probably done more in training) but he's also tried his hand at weightlifting, power snatching 120kg and power clean and jerking 140kg at last year's Estonian nationals (he's up to a 150kg C&J this year). Now these numbers aren't that amazing considering his strength levels but take into account the fact that he's only 19 years old and supposedly he does barely any training for the classical lifts, just practices the technique a bit before competitions and you've got someone who's got huge potential to become a serious contender for the next Olympics.

Benched 190 and deadlifted 290 if I remember, but he beefed up to around 90kg or so.

This is the type of thinking that's been proven to be false time and time again. "Decent" numbers for someone who doesn't actively train in the sport have zero value in terms of olympic potential. He is just too far behind at 19 in terms of experience and technique. Also his powerlifting numbers mean nothing. Find out how much he can front squat and that will be a bigger indicator if he's got the world class strength.

does anyone know what klokov can back squat? I've been trying to find this info around the internet, but can't find it

no one knows srs. its the most widely asked question about klokov and no one has a god damn clue. most speculate in the mid 300s.

I think that might be a very high estimate. Don't get me wrong his 250 paused front squat was insane but in all likelyhood he probably doesn't even backsquat heavy.
With that being said if you had said Klokov could push press 225kg and there was no video of it, how many people would actually believe that?

I agree, i think 290-310 is a better guess, but probably it would be a pretty fast squat like i can't see him doing anything that's a grind.

[GoJu]

You guys take this 'o-lifters don't squat heavy' bud charninga mantra too seriously IMO.

Xiajun squats 300kg
Yong squats 340kg
Dimas squatted 330kg
As a 105 class lifter who probably walks around at 250+lbs at the off-season you really think he only squats 290-310? A better guestimate is 350 IMO.

Or the mythical sounding 455kg supposedly done by Aslanbek Yenaldiev, probably unequipped and Oly-style.
