Look at the speed of his descent ... his method of squatings incredibly strong

[@MinhVu-ef8qh]

How could you possible NOT stop doing whatever you were doing and watch someone pause squatting 1/4 of a tonne?

[@juanignaciociccotosto6827]

Agree. It's called arrogance.

[@olivierbrdadut6121]

Not easily impressed in Perth, Western Australia.

[@XXLRebel]

People who don't lift weights have no clue on what's considered impressive. Some may think: "Oh well, with a couple of months of hard work I'll get there too if I wanted too. Just add 10Kg every session."😆

[@elantonelle]

@@juanignaciociccotosto6827 lmao "arrogance", talk about an extra chromosome

[@blackphoenix8932]

@@XXLRebel I remember thinking that when I was experiencing novice gains. My 5 RM in the squat went from like 110kg to 150kg over the course of several months, I remember legit thinking I would be squatting 200kg for reps within the year. What a fool I was.

[@jermaineayivoh8263]

Technically this is a tempo pause squat rather than being merely just a pause squat which makes this even more impressive . 5 second eccentric phase (which is the tempo part of the squat) followed by the 5 second pause in the hole. Not too mention of course that this is fully ATG. An ATG 5 second tempo 5 second pause squat with 250kg is insane. Mad respect!

[@danieldrakeford848]

That’s just how Russian weightlifters squat, for them this isn’t a tempo squat it’s just a regular squat lol

[@pointless132]

Does Klokov have an uneven stance? It sort of looks like his left foot is slighting more in front

[@cleanhealthfitnessinstitute]

Yes, one femur and leg overall is slightly longer than the other, we asked this during our travels together. Hence why he rotates his foot placement out slightly.

[@RealNiceMike]

If my left femur is shorter than my right which foot goes a little forward when I squat? Thanks so much.

[@g13n4]

right one. But in general putting something like a thin mat (to compensate for the femur length) under your left foot will be a better solution

[@benjamindelaney5451]

I have noticed he drops the bar instead of re-racking quite often in his vids. Does anyone know why? It looks like he easily has the strength left to do it.

[@ImGairBair]

It looks cool

[@sergiotl7378]

The bar, plates and floor are prepared for that. It's weightlifting equipment, it can handle that and much more. Olympic weightlifters usually drop the bar to the floor after their last set of squats because it's easier to unload it and because they usually do some exercise from the floor, like clean pulls or whatever.

[@Gimmithat491]

Less risk

[@user-qs4qo2ek2g]

right answer is probably that this is the last set

[@petersoar2886]

@@user-qs4qo2ek2g yeah, probably gonna do some Olympic lifts after.

[@nzcam]

Yeah nah, terrible form mate. Your knees are too wide, going down too low, knees too far over toes, feet are pointing in the wrong direction, looking up at the wrong angle, and I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.

[@shire_reeve]

What's that thing wrapped around below his knee? is it just cloth or something else?

[@ishandebtula554]

It's a knee cap

[@sergiotl7378]

Most likely, it's russian knee wraps, like these: store.hookgrip.com/shop/russian-knee-wraps-all-options/ He wears them in most of his videos. Klokov doesn't like to wrap them around the patella, that's why you can see his knees. He wraps above and below the patella, he said somewhere that it's not good to put pressure on it.

[@Doviruses.existbaileyonodysee]

I wanna do that @150 for 10. 😊. Atm i can bounce 150 for 1. Hoping withing a couple of years the hammy adductors will be a bit longer and i can get close. Then i will be at peace.

@@wc6046 seriously asking cuz if he just re racked it, it be much more convenient for next set

[@wc6046]

@@applejm3370 Oh, well the gist of it is often times lifters will drop the bar immediately when they're done to take the stress off of their muscles. Helps prevent injury

[@cleanhealthfitnessinstitute]

Because he is a freak of nature! Jokes aside walking that amount of load back in after doing that would place unnecessary stress on his joints etc, thus increasing the risk for injury.

[@Tom-vu1wr]

@@applejm3370 well it's clearly his last set

[@JOTIXOXO]

This is the only squat (pause doesn't hace to be so long). Going deep and using knees ligaments to rebound is easier than a 90 degrees squat, but you see that in youtube and think that is a legit squat, and hate 90 degrees and controled squats.

[@Provenom100]

Not enough depth imo (I’m 6 and squat 1230 lbs btw)

[@blackphoenix8932]

Why do weightlifters like dropping the bar? It's way more of a pain in the ass to strip plates from a bar on the floor than it is in the rack, I just don't see the point.

[@miguelmoreno6990]

Because it's cool. Taking bumpers away from the bar is also quite easy if you put a small plate below the bigger plates

[@blackphoenix8932]

@@miguelmoreno6990 Not as easy as taking them off of a racked bar at sternum height.

[@khlee90]

It's so interesting to see that his one foot is ahead of the other foot but still manage to squat that heavy without getting injured. I guess his pelvis is quite imbalanced that he intentionally puts his one foot ahead of the other to compensate for it

[@cleanhealthfitnessinstitute]

It seems to look that way due to the angle filmed as well! Great observation there!

[@JohnCena-rg4yx]

He has longer leg

[@ofwgk666]

His feet aren’t even ones more in front of the other
