Next stop in Dmitry Klokov’s World Domination Tour is Brussels.
We have seen this particular variation a lot in the past, but I think this weight is a PR for him.
In the video below he mentions that his best in this exercise is 190kg.
Update 29.03.2015: Dmitry snatches 193.5kg for a new PR
185kg Snatch with a 3s pause at the knees. Brute Strength!
Also watch his 205kg Snatch Pre-London 2012.
Update: Here is his longer video of the tour stop
Update 09.08.2014: Meanwhile in Ecuador … at a Dmitry Klokov Seminar.
Here he does a 170kg Snatch with 2 Pauses, one below the Knee + one mid thigh.
Update: He also did a 80 to 170kg Snatch Ladder there.
Update: Longer video that includes him working up to the 170kg
watching such clips in the last few months while klokov is nearly nonstop travelling and less training shows us he is still in his best weightlifter-years. hope so much he can preserve this to rio 2016 and doesnt waste his “last” days at crossshit-seminars.
I know what you mean. 2012 was a huge disappointment, hell if it wasn’t for llya I wouldn’t have evened payed attention to weightlifting. Lets not forget he still has a silver from 2008 which is nothing to laugh at. Aramnau beat him straight up. And personally as much as I hate to say this I feel like akkaev would have edged him had they competed in 2012. And now ilya is moving up to 105s so who knows with 2016. One of Klovovs problems is the guy is a pure 110, but unfortunately the weight class doesn’t exist. And off topic but I think ilya has potential to in company with greats like naim, dimas, khaki, he has the right timing(age,olympic years) and talent to get 3 golds and maybe the first to ever get 4 but its obviously to early to tell.
Didn’t he say he was bored with the sport, or something to that effect, in his Barbell Shrugged interview? Guy can do what he wants.
this time he’s going for gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“IT’S FOR YOU” Shirt needs to happen.
