Klokov's use of Training Variability

[@zacktelander]

Hey guys referral code for RP is “ZT” not “Zack”. Thinking about changing it to Jeff Tbh

[@SquatSimp]

You should update the description just in case people don't read this comment.

[@zacktelander]

@@SquatSimp thank you. I am an idiot

[@felinfoel1156]

Saw Klokov, clicked for Klokov, stayed for Klokov. I could literally hear him scream "YES BLYATT" over Zack talking.

Klokov's physique gives hope to every wide waisted thick oblique'd bois out there

Hey Brad, this is actually something I do for my swim club. Most of my athletes struggle to break their PBs in the pool so I use this conditional style of training too. My favorite conditional exercise is the bare foot 5k on black asphalt in August. The hotter the asphalt the better. The only caveat I throw in is this, if an athlete complains about their feet, they have to run an extra kilometer. This builds great resilience in the pool. My athletes learn to not bitch about how tired they are, because they can’t feel the soles of their feet. Now that the pools are back open at the club, I have had 5 swimmers break their previous PB’s in the pool. I’m glad we both view training the same way! Sincerely, Coach

Trappy has made his return

[@KYRsm00ve]

I never left. Sometimes all the Karen’s at the swim club get to me. Back in March Jonathan’s mom took me to court for breaking her windshield with my 5 championship rings. I lost the case and was suspended without pay until a month ago, but I wore my high school letterman’s jacket to court. It’s hard to watch informative training methods on KZbin, like yours, which we both seem to be on the same page about, when I can’t pay for internet.

Zack, I mean Brad's comment section wishes you well Trappy

this video was motivated by everyones favorite - the year 7 plateau 'no chance of pr's in sight'

[@NaturalHypertrophy]

7:37 I think I've seen that clip maybe 50 times but I never get tired of it. Everybody in that gym is mirin that pause length hard

[@tangwyllt3158]

This is the precise reason why Louis Simmons believed in a variation of exercises to avoid the law of accommodation while still apply 100% of your maximum effort

[@matthewlee7026]

Key take away: Bands and chains on a trap bar Bosu ball snatch = 100% increase

[@epaminontas6972]

YOU ARE NOT KLOKOV

[@matt8earas]

Jealous of matty. His lats are wide af yet his wingspan short. He should dominate for years to come.

[@gmotwmirl]

I can see how a pause might come in handy at the natural progression of a weightlifter. Maintaining thoracic extension throughout all of the pull. Bringing your overall strength up to speed, to better accomadate newfound squat and leg strength. Especially useful for the youngins.

[@SKTom0]

Jeff ima keep it 100 i'm a lil schtoopid atm but I really appreciated this video. Always look forward to your content and can't wait to see the next one.

[@chrism45]

I actually do what your recommended sometimes when I'm feeling weak that day, especially with squats. If 70% is feeling like a 90% that day I drop to 40-50% and do 8 working sets of 5 with 1 minute rest. I know I'm not getting any strength training that day so I might as well get some volume.

[@projectmanager1227]

Zack! Tell us about Torokhtiy

[@ArminEghdamiDrums]

So...Klokov is training Westside?

[@meccicareca5403]

non-klokov uses the principle of variability described by zatsiorsky in the book science and pratice of strength training

[@meccicareca5403]

The variation of the exercises should be as close as possible to the main exercise but it has to be a variation that the practice is not used in other words a difficult variation like that main exercise for the practitioner's body to achieve new adaptations

[@GhilledApallo]

Was up Zack was just watching the training make until I saw this

[@18JamesBlond]

how did the edit make this more confusing

[@vladyslav1]

Thinking about old guys Klokov got me wondering. More and more authors seem to recognize the value of strength, not hypertrophy, but specifically strength training for longevity and optimal aging. But how do oly lifts fit in this, are there actually old people still strong and mobile enough to do oly lifts, would maintaining this capacity be a good reference for how you're aging, of is the abandonment of explosive exercises inevitable as time flies by?

[@JohnJayne]

This video gave me some motivation on bench cos I’ve been plateauing at 130kg for as long as I remember, gonna throw in variations for a month

[@ryanreviews8566]

Zack coming in with the quaaaaality content 👌

[@chrisnicolaou3871]

Klokov's name is Jeff

[@paulohenriquesandriniadamc3874]

Hey Zack! Can you make a video talking about weightlifting apparel? Things such as shoes, belts, knee sleeves... those kind of stuff

[@brandongreen5884]

Although it may be somewhat "mental" it is almost equally "physical" - SPECIAL EXERCISES(weakness correction) as well as ADAPTION TO STIMULUS (the body adapts to EVERY STIMULUS).

[@tjcogger1974]

I wanna see someone pause snatch in the Olympics 😂

[@Sheabutta587]

Wasn't planning on being this excited so early in the morning

[@09thespecialone]

His strict presses, in my opinion, are far more impressive. Strict pressing at least 150 kg for reps at a bodyweight around 110 kg, it is just ridiculous!

[@james31666]

Matty really sleepin through this whole video, wake up son

[@NovaQ-em4bt]

Great video as always! 🏋️‍♂️

[@andreabarone4964]

Wich one is sexier Klokov or Matty?

[@therealforestelf]

would you recommend variability lifts for beginners or should beginners focus on overall technique more than anything so you can complete a lift at a decent weight?

[@mjwontstop]

You workout inside the workout. You want to get good on your straight cross punch you break out every inch of that movement. hence the Olympic lifts breaking down the movements

[@owainwynjones5394]

1:32 you can't get the snarl right simply because you aren't Klokov enough

[@will.isnull]

1:55 this training helps you stay Russian tough after racking your shin with 140+ lbs and not flinching in the slightest

[@freshhorizonswithjakub]

love your vids!

Daaamn Klokov is JAAAACKED!!!

[@DartAleks]

Well, you described variable training, that Pavel Tsatsouline mentioned on Joe Rogan podcast.

Bruh that snatch from the bottom at 1:55 hurts to watch

So in my next competition I need to just pause for my snatch and I’ll hit it? Ok coach giraffe Jesus 🦒 I love you

I doubt that its more a mental game and probably more so technique similar to conjugate

[@Artheam]

I feel like this doesn't make a lot of sense. Other than the first time you try a variation you will know what you can do. If you clean and jerk 100kg and can hang clean 90kg then once that's established you'll still be number orientated vs "just feeling it out".

[@RohannvanRensburg]

But the likelihood is that you won't be so mentally tied to the number. You're creating variability which promotes further adaptation as well as skill acquisition. If your entire sport revolves around your snatch number then your pause snatch/hang snatch/snatch grip dead/ etc numbers won't be of nearly as much consequence and you're likely to gameify rather than stress about it.
