really disappointed he's not competing in the olympics
>>36730439
why isnt he?
>>36730456
Meldonium

He retired in 2015, he said training like a professional is too stressful. Really wish he would have done one more Olympics. Could have also been from steroids, but who knows. Perhaps someone else with knowledge on the subject can chime in.
>>36730513
I assume because he cant compete at the top level anymore
He wouldnt even be sent to the olympics as bedzhanyan is better

He got a 200kg paused snatch last year. That's his lifetime PR. He could still compete, he just chose not to.

;_;
klokov pls
>>36730738
>not shirtless
>not beside a russian doll
>>36730922
Yea at a bodyweight of 120~ kg
>>36731084
lol no
He's travelling around all the time and has to stay lean for the seminars. He doesn't have time to bulk hard and train 9 times per week as the people training for competition do.
>>36731109
Klokov is lean at 115-120 kgs
He loses a shit of water weight before competitions and btw the 200 kg pause snatch was untested.
>>36731109
Just seems like kind of a bum deal for an Olympic athlete - teaching average crossfitters how to snatch and clean. He seems like he's struggling for money sometimes too from watching his videos. I wish him the best, he seems like a good guy.
>>36731137
You have no idea, Klokov is making a fortune with the seminars. Tickets for his stuff is 500-800 per person.
>>36731137
klokov comes from a really wealthy family. I wouldnt worry about his finances. You can see the inside of his house in some of his youtube videos.
>>36731241
Hes not from a wealthy family lmao
He made all of it himself after putin started paying athletes more
>>36731224
I saw some of the posters in his video, it was like $200 a pop. Subtract travel expenses. It looked like some of them only maybe 10 people were going.
Also, I saw one video where he was lifting like 400lbs above his head and this girl was in the background playing on her cellphone drinking starbucks so it must not have been too expensive
Here, this is what you all came for any way. I know what you are.

Commisar posted a pic on /owg/ a few days ago, it's 500 close to where he lives.
>tfw have a collection of over 20 webms of klokov being a god
>can't upload them because 4chan is being a bitch
At least I can upload THIS ONE! HA!
>>36730370
the guy is inhuman.
I heard he stopped competing because they might have caught him on his cycle.
>>36730738
What did he mean with everyone distanced them self from him ? Did they distance them self from him because he became famous/pro or whatever?
>>36735446
He had to bail out of London, citing injury.
Given that for tested athletes (particularly those out of China, Russia and similar nations), 'injury' is code for "we fucked up the timing and he can't pass the drug tests", its probably not surprising that people didn't want to be associated with him. Everyone outside the Russian team is gonna assume he's a cheat and inside the Russian team they're gonna be pissed he took up a slot and then fucked it all up. Ain't much to be gained from being known as one of his guys.

He's proportioned so nicely
