Dmitry Klokov is My Hero

Like many budding and experienced Olympic Weightlifters, I have a man-crush for the Ruskie Olympic weightlifting superstar, Dmitry Klokov.



In this instance, he's in the 105 kg (230 lbs) weight category and he successfully snatched 190 kg (419 lbs).

I noticed that he does a bottom-up set-up for the lift and the focus and intensity on his face is astounding.  I love the fire-breathing he's doing before he yells and exerts immense power in snatching that weight up into the air.


He's only 0.5 - 1 inch taller than me but he weighs 50 lbs more...

Insane.  I still have a ways to go in bulking up.


More Klokov training and fan-made videos below for motivation and inspiration.
