1-3 reps build no muscle, only "tendons" (oh brother).

Clocov realised he got more attension outside the weightlifting arena. This dude have entered the fitness/crossfit industry!

He dident look like this some years ago! I belive he do more bodybuilding than weightlifting nowdays! Now he get more bitches and attension so I guess this weightlifting carrer is pretty much over...great thing to have as a background though for marketing.

I think it's changing. Here anyway we have a junior power lifting champ who has a better physique than most bodybuilders in the country, we've another junior weight class champ who is a bodybuilding champ and I'm not in bad shape for a power lifter myself winning the irish 110kg and overall powerlifting in 2014

Klokov entered a bodybuilding contest which should be held within the next few days - can't be bothered to look up the exact date. That's why he's so lean.

As far as his career in weightlifting goes, he's still very strong as evident from his lifts during seminars, and could still be relevant. Question is more whether he has the drive to push for another shot at an olympic medal, which at the moment doesn't appear so.

Russian weighlifters in recent years tend to be in good condition, even at SHW level.

Olympic weightlifters outside of the super heavy have great physiques. Maybe not in the drugged to the gills professional bodybuilding sense but hard dense muscle.

Weird a guy who only does 1 to 3 reps knows how to hit all the bodybuilding poses. lol. Dude probably has a posing room with special lighting at home and an assorted amount of glittery thongs...

Lol I'm sure he trains both ways power lifts and trains like a bb. Just how some bb enter power lifting meets. It's not that crazy if a concept to grasp

If he train for bodybuildingcontest the weiightliftincarrer is over. Those explosive weightlifting movements need daily practice if your on olympic lever. No way he can get back to weightlifting again. He will lose all the explosiv power training like a bodybuilder, and he will become clumsy compared to his early years!

The russian training system incorporates bodybuilding exercises in their training regime. Hence why the Russian (and athletes following Russian system based programming) on average hold more upperbody muscle than say for example the Chinese or Bulgarians. Effectively though this is wasted muscle in the sense that weightlifting requires mostly a strong posterior chain and legs, the extra weight of muscles carried on the upperbody would thus be better spend on the lowerbody.

If you watch Klokov lift over the years you'll have noticed he already lost a lot of explosive power and rather just muscles the weight up. This is simply a result of many years competing and training and happens with every lifter, look at for example Evgeny Chigishev; insanely strong yet slowed considerably as years progressed.

Klokov has stated that he's partaking in the bodybuilding competition just for fun, as he has friends who are active bodybuilders (Skoromny) and people always told him he had a good physique. As such this would be a one-off. The excessive muscle did affect his technique though, especially in the clean, but considering he's not in an active training camp to compete, this is irrelevant.

Well, a top lever athlete need to specialize if he want to be world class in any sport. There is no room for anything else! Life is to short!
