Reacting to Klokov's Early Training Footage!

[@houtexflex]

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.

[@DylanFulbright]

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

[@getstrongby4038]

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!

[@pannonianfit1582]

Apti also casually pressed 70 kg overhead like its empty 10 kg bar wearing suit jeans 😂

[@sneeuwballa]

@@getstrongby4038 Because there was nothing to win

[@MathiasD4hL]

His staggered stance will never not amaze me. Man is casually pulling 200-300 kg of the floor with one leg way in front of the other.

[@lol6434]

He does that because he's bow legged? I don't know for sure.

[@joalvarado8506]

He’s bow-legged and has one leg shorter than the other. He clarified this in an old interview.

[@ud4vv]

always loved the almost demonic look on klokovs face before a lot of his lifts lol

[@zucinnied]

Yeah holy cow that face at 8:30 is wild

[@casefarley5744]

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.

[@Wayf4rer]

I'll never get bored of watching him train. Absolute specimen of a human being that man is.

[@DavidMartinez-mj3lp]

The bandana! 🤣💪🙌 He is definitely the goat! His frontsquat with 250 and a pause is incredible and in my opinion some of his moves looked perfect.

[@cextine]

I always liked the techno music in the background of the Klokov training hall videos. I never figured out what they were listening to.

[@-Azure.EXE-]

Klokov pause snatching 200kg whilst bursting out of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shirt is my inspiration.

[@sakaue]

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.

[@enCasinoJack]

You should do the ATG video on Szymon Kolecki. Literally covers from when he started up until the peak of his career

[@alejandromagnobarrasa9244]

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?

[@nischal711]

His dad actually didn't want him to lift as back in soviet days it didn't provide enough future security.

[@rustyrave]

@@nischal711 haha according to Klokov, his dad wanted him to be a nerd

[@nolanhauck9390]

According to interview, he spent most of his training life dedicated to out totalling his dad and he eventually did.

[@kblkbl]

@@nolanhauck9390 No he didn't, his father hit 440 as a -110kg lifter, and in training IIRC he did somethign even crazier, like 200+250.

[@nolanhauck9390]

@@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

[@ev1bl]

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.

[@AndrogenReceptor01]

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

[@ryantrotter9561]

sikastan coming with the A roll and the exposition B roll? game over for the others

[@kmidst_fn5225]

Dimeetrie Clock-ov: "YES BLYAHTTT"

[@Yokatosh]

Honestly i love these reaction videos 😂

[@TeamRelsonGracieFL]

Stockholm has a great vintage clothes shop as well. Primarily sorted by color.

[@jishubharadwaj3817]

Ohhhhhhyeahhhh thankkkkk youuu!!!!😌😌😌

[@webapp31]

I would love to see you guys commentate on Unbelievable Bulgarians! 🙏🙏🙏

[@ryanoconnell6617]

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

[@zachthorn9471]

Coaches react is the best

[@AfferbeckBeats]

Maybe you could react to Hysen Pulaku's training. There's also some videos of him competing as a child, pretty cool to see his progression

[@georgechristofidis7944]

Reacting to or Simping for Klokov's Early Training Footage?

[@osunaarashisthirdroundcard8362]

Some of Andrei Aramnau's old training footage would be great to review.

[@ShinSuperSaiyajin]

9:47 Bandit Keith from Yu-Gi-Oh is Klokov confirmed! LOL

[@sportyv1k1ng]

That is a two legged JCB, lads...😁

[@rageintruths]

Can you guys do Milko Tokola training while having a few pints?

[@Dipsinco2]

But the reaction to Ilya's first WC - can't seem to find it? :)

[@user-lb3jm7ul7x]

He’s on a juggernaut training systems video teaching snatch technique and says his best back squat was 325

[@birdmanstrength]

Awesome video. Question: What did you mean when you said Klokov couldn't squat? I've not heard anything about that before.

[@toximan2008]

Could we get this with Szymon Kołecki, if that video hasn't been done before?

[@huntingtonhayes]

He has even more of his youth training on his channel

[@jhonnyola]

What does suicide grippy means?? Is it extra dangerous grip in jerk??

[@andrew98115wl]

Everyone was wearing those blue singlets in those days because of Dimas.

[@eugenepoon]

Did not know about the whip trick, that looks fun (albeit pointless)

[@RobertoRivaldi]

I agree.. I'd love to see more.. From more lifters

[@zennappi]

My favorite natty russian lifter!

[@nolanhauck9390]

I think he back squatted 330 but I also might have just heard someone say that lol

[@sikastrength]

Pff he ain't even that good though..

[@sikastrength]

react to Szymon Kołecki? :)

[@Vincent-fv1ch]

Daily reminder: no one is special, everything is possible for anyone who trains correct and supplements with the right "drugs".

[@utkarsh2746]

"Genetic potential" is very much a thing. The athletes at the top of weightlifting are also genetic freaks beyond just training and using gear.
