Dmitry Klokov 225 Kg (495lb) Push Press

Russian weightlifter Dmitry Klokov push pressing 225 kg.
For the many who argue over the weight, the 225 kg comes from:
One side = 25 (red) plates x 3 plus 20 kg (blue plate) plus 5 kg (white plate) plus 2.5kg collar = total 102.5 Kg each side = 205 kg total plus bar = 225 Kg TOTAL

In your defence, Klokov would have been training for over 20 years. Focusing almost exclusively on overhead work, squatting, and pulling. His dad was an Olympic lifter, so he has not only the godly genetics but also the connections to some of the best coaches in the world, complete with government sports program funding. The stars aligned to create this king of pressing power.

[@jammy0985]

Everything about this video is perfect, the music, video quality and sick gym setup. Klokov is an animal

[@Marsnet]

It took me 4-5 years to get to 130kg push press. That is the best result in my gym. And i am bigger guy than him. Sure his technique is flawless. That alone probably gives him 10-15 kilo advantage over me at this weight if we were the same strength. But that leaves the gap of 80-85kg between him and myself. That leaves me in awe and speechless. That gap is impossible to cross even for guys talented way above average. Kinda sad actually. Klokov is super talented and very hard working. BRAVO.

i've been a gym goer for the last 17 years. Mostly base exercises. My best push press was 105-107kg 5 years ago when i decided to put a focus on it. So i gained about 25kg in 5 years. I see myself gaining another 10-15kg in 5 years or so. That being optimistic. Don't see any reality in hoping for more ever. So Klokov IS the beast. The more i watch this video the more i understand that 225 is incomprehensible. IMHO impossible to understand the freakishness behind this video for non gym veterans.

he's been on a training hiatus of sorts this past year or so. He will be training competitively for Rio 2016. So I think he'll be right back hitting 230-240kgs by then. He also snatched 200kg in Almaty during the WWC, which is the current WR. Dont get too cynical yet.

I mean lying on a bench and ''pressing'' because you can move more weight in that position...Nothing bad with that. It is a good lift as an assistance one to the Press (unless you are a powerlifter). For purists like us, the Press, the Clean & Press to be precise, is the true test of OVERALL strength (as it used to be before 1972). Keep on pressing heavy overhead dude.
