I think about Klokov's pause front squats a lot because of the noise he makes when he stands up

[@IvanDjuric300]

Hehehe yeh I know

[@joneh9483]

I've always loved the strength that powerlifters possess, especially seeing how their strength exceeds their muscle mass by a lot. But when it comes to technique and athleticism, I binge watch the fuck out of weightlifters. (Clarence and Klokov videos to be more specific) I can definitely relate to you when you say you are not a powerlifter, olympic lifter or a crossfitter, you're just a guy who is training. There's so much to learn from all disciplines that it would be crazy to restrict yourself to one way of training. I constantly find myself tuning my program and technique by studying both Olympic lifting and powerlifting. (No offense to crossfitters but I don't really find there way of training appealing) You gotta always find whats best for you and just go with that.

[@IvanDjuric300]

Yeh well said man. Everyone will have a particular like. No right or wrong answers here really.

[@marknum545]

That is why I like watching Strongman the most followed by Olympic Weightlifting. Yes, equipment is allowed, but it is very dependent on the event and the competition. But overall it has a nice mix of „functionality“ and strength imo

[@Luca-tw9fk]

beautifully said Ivan. There is a certain poetry to a well executed lift like an ATG squat that one rarely sees in a commercial gym

[@IvanDjuric300]

Yeh that’s right. It’s so hard to do, when you see it it’s a beauty.

[@joey0wns]

[@IvanDjuric300]

Hehehe Cheers man

[@Andreastheduck]

I use a belt simply as a tool to push through a plateau in the squats. For me, it adds about 15kg. after training with a belt for some time my beltless also gets stronger, which is the ultimate goal.

I remember Clarence doing the same (front squatting 250kg ATG with a 2 second pause). When I first stumbled across Clarence I just remember thinking “ok so it’s completely possible to be absolutely super human. Lol. I mean this guy could bench 200kg, ATG pause back squat 300kg and deadlift over 340kg all with no equipment and the full range of motion. Then I see he’s also really good at martial arts tricking.

And to top it off he looked like Michelangelo(in motion). 40 years later after first seeing him I am still inspired by him. Not just his physicality but also by his philosophy also.

[@IvanDjuric300]

Love that. He was a great influence on the world.

[@krejn]

Hey Ivan, you say powerlifting is weird and all that, which I agree with, specially on the bench grip with and ridiculous wide stances in the squat and deadlift. But there are still guys who lift with pretty decent ROMs like John Haack. He benches with a medium grip, Squats high bar, and deadlifts conventional. Might wanna check him out

[@PaulSteere]

Yeah a lot of the best raw lifters move well; Bryce Lewis, Taylor Atwood, Jessica Buetter, etc. Powerlifting is largely in a different place to the Westside days and a lot of the IPF lifters aren’t using lol ROM and getting half squats white-lighted.

[@IvanDjuric300]

Yeh definitely. There are some people who are doing it properly. Absolutely. John hack is a beast.

Hey Ivan, really enjoy your videos, they're soothing to my eyes. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I wanted to see your take on a few things, I'm 6”2 tall with long femur bones. And I've tried to squat without my heels being elevated but it's close to impossible, my back struggles to keep the weight up & I get that annoying groin pain from having a squat-wide-stance that stretches my abductors to the max. Would you be able to shed some light on this? I've tried to do mobility work for my ankles but I just can't seem to squat with flat heels; the weight distribution is kinda off. And achieving depth is hard as well.

[@IvanDjuric300]

[@captainflexasaurus8318]

so true. the ATG squat is such a beautiful movement. I wish when I began the guy in the camera would have told me "you may squat low, high or mid and maybe your knees might go forward than others. Anatomies are going to be different. Different squat variations can target either the hamstring or quads more. There is more than one way of doing a squat"... Ahhhh man you reminded me when I was young watching nba ankle breakers vol 1 and 2. Watching it for hours trying to mimic their moves. The AI crossover, the simple Tim Hardway one two cross over and Melos quick cross & shoot the mid range. ohhh and the ultimate jordan collection! Going to bed thinking man dribble right jump and shift in the air between 3 people and lay it off the glass.

[@IvanDjuric300]

Yeh man I was the same. I remember when I first learned the AI cross over. Man that felt good. Such a beautiful move.

[@provlaxswag]

I agree on the technique stuff. I’m six foot six inches, and sure if I wear a belt and sleeves and only go 90 degrees I can hit well over 4 plates. But truly unracking the weight, sitting my ass down so my glutes touch my ankles, then standing back up, THATS what I like to practice. I’ll take a 375 ATG being tall as hell any day over just abusing physical mechanics to “move” a weight

[@IvanDjuric300]

[@IvanDjuric300]

Nah not at all man. It’s been months since I last did them. I never really did them for any good amount of time.

[@JohnC-yc2db]

Hey Ivan loved the video as usual , a thought popped into my head that there’s a lot of different powerlifting federations snd it seems to me that some have stricter rules than others when it comes to squat depth. I’ve seen multiple powelifters get well below 90 degreees in the squat ie russel orhii, snd there are many poweelfiters in which the arch Benifits Them in no way snd there elbows still drop below 90 on bench. It’s when u get into the subdivisions of powerlifting where they are calling 3 white lights on a squat that was above parrallel snd they can barley walk to the rack because of the knees wraps. But love your take and your overall ideology around lifting.

[@IvanDjuric300]

Hey man. Appreciate that. Yeh I know there is some variation between them. But still man. It’s just a headache.

[@phoenixfitzpatrick]

Hey Ivan, do you think it's best to squat ATG with a little buttwink or go slightly less deep to prevent it as I develop mobility?

[@TheTMschannel]

a LITTLE buttwink is just fine If it's a lot, then I'd work on mobility for the botttom of my squat. Mainly just by sitting in the squat as low as you can while staying tight, and the slowly try to get lower

This is the first video I watched from you. All of you've said it's relatable to me. I made a decission of switching from regular lifting (bodybuilding style) to Oly Weightlifting mainly due to Klokov's videos and Lydia Valentín. I used to play basketball too and I never nearly played as good as I was able to due to lack of confidence. I had my doubts about doing Oly Weightlifting because I wouldn't look good (false) but I didn't care. I wanted to do things like Klokov, Clarence, Lyu, Ilyia but at my own rythm. Best decission ever.

i mean sleeves dont really add much up unless you buy like 2-3 smaller size, its just keeps your knee warm and compressed which helps you a bit to not get injured, i can get it about the belt it can add pretty a lot and also wraps, but average sleeves gives you like 5 mb 10 kg at highest

[@Priimerra]

As a Powerlifting fan I must say that the high squats (it is very impressive that someone can do some movement with over 1000lbs on his back but it is not squat) only happens in some gear federations. And the bench press with 0 ROM only happens in low weight classes that most people do not care. You won't find shit like this in 90+ classes. Also check out John Haack. He is doing every lift 100% legit and he is the strongest right now. I understand your point of view, just wanted to clarify some topics you mentioned

Its probably been said by now, but the song in the Klokov video is Breathe by Prodigy. I used to listen to that album while playing Doom on PC as a kid.

Man, finally I found someone who thinks weight training exactly like me! Who considers weight training as an artform, who thinks about the aesthetics and the beauty of it!

[@IvanDjuric300]

Respect man.
