He said he will attempt a 225kg Clean & jerk, which would be a seasonal best, soon.
Today Dmitry Klokov got the 225kg Clean part.

What do you think? Looks like it’s going to be a good show. Plus, if the Russian Championships can be counted as a test venue then we should get a nice live stream next week 🙂
And to round it off here is Dmitry with a 215kg Clean which was made possible by the accordion skills of Vladislav Rigert.
How do you not include the 215 clean he uploaded?! Such an awesome video!
You are right. I first shared it on the ATG Facebook page, but it is just to awesome to skip here. Fixed.
You think that’s crazy. His recent 155 kg Clean and STRICT PRESS blew my mind
That was good but he commented earlier that his best strict press is 180kg. So waiting for something higher 🙂
Why no Natalia Zabolotnaya? She’s an incredible lifter and gets almost no credit. I was amazed to find that she was the backup 75kg even after setting the world record and (painfully) TYING in the Olympics twice.
Also, I’m glad that Klokov is doing his damnest to prove me wrong for thinking he couldn’t make a comeback.
She had eye surgery so she would not be lifting this season. Also Svetlana Tsarukaeva had meniscus surgery so she would also sit out this season too.
bummer 🙁
definitely my favorite video so far with the accordion jams
It’s so nice to see that Klokov came out from the last year devastating times with good spirit after all! Love the vids 🙂
