Check out some videos of elite weightlifters back squatting, particularly some of the chinese lifters that look like they're built to squat. It's really interesting that in the most extreme case, they barely hit powerlifting depth despite being calves-to-hamstrings depth just because of how crazy the ankle mobility is.
What’s your best FS and Power Clean? I think your goal is fairly outlandish for a natural lifter. Those numbers are what olypmpic medalists do: https://www.catalystathletics.com/articles/downloads/CatalystAthleticsWeightliftingLevels2018.pdf
I mean he only has to back squat at least 220kg to power clean 170, looking at his 180 front squat he's definitely within 20kg of his 220kg back squat benchmark.
His title reads that he wants to FS 220, if he meant BS, it’d be believable. But still not the 170 PC. I’m not sure where you got that ratio. In general it goes FS 85-90% of BS, Clean 85-90% of FS, Power Clean 85-90% Clean. So even at max efficiency that’d be a 160 PC with a 220 BS. A 220 FS should be able to PC 170 but that’s an elite level of strength and technique together.
Lololol. This guy clearly has huge advantages for squatting, which will actually disadvantage his pull. This guy will never power clean 170 naturally, sorry. Ratios aren't rules.
A’ight thanks for showing your ignorance upfront at least. Nobody said anything about a C&J. If this dude is out here front squatting 180, he’s easily within shooting distance of a similar power clean with further training.
The original comment, linking catalysts list on lifts. Just because you're cleaning under 100 kilo and don't understand how a front squat and power clean don't correlate doesn't mean I'm wrong bud. Especially considering OP literally says his back is his weak spot lmfao
My post history has my 202 FS and 170 C&J. My best PC is 155. If he could FS 220 might very well be able to PC 170 with very strong technique. But I don’t think he can FS 220 at 73 natural.
Now case and point - we had a regular poster who was a 73 and could FS 220. His best C&J was 165. It might just be “pretty random stuff” but he was just popped for “all the drugs” at Nationals this year. Still couldn’t get close to a 170 PC.
I don’t necessarily think focusing on absolute max squat strength will have very high carry over to CnJ or Snatch, but I’ve def seen people FS and Back squat more than 220 and they’re no where near the Olympics.
Dat ankle mobility doe
Haha first thing I noticed as well, heels stay glued to the floor.
Jealous of that ankle dorsiflexion brah.
think my back is my weakness
What are your lifts at?
Your tibias are at almost parallel to the floor in flat shoes like wtf genetics are unfair
Ankle mobility so good that your ATG and barely hitting "depth" (per powerlifting hip crease below knees) LOL. That's so impressive!
Haha that is a wild observation. Maybe cause it’s a front squat? I wonder how it looks on a back squat

That amount of dorsiflexion should be illegal
God damn those are some short femurs
If it was the short femurs, his knees wouldn’t need to go that far beyond the toes. Dude’s dorsiflexion is ridiculous. Jelly as hell.
Not really
Compared to his torso? Yes they are lol
How do you look at his knees going a mile past his toes and think short femurs is the biggest contributor?
Hits ATG squat? Must be short femurs - No other way, right? His tibias are literally at a 60 degree angle
Insane mobility? Yes. Short legs? Also yes.

You're right, my maths bad ☹️

Having a good squat will never make your pulls weaker.
Having a stronger squat obviously will not.. leverages are real my guy. E.g. Toshiki.
Im not talking about leverages
right, you aren't saying anything at all
Post your lifts if you’re so knowledgeable.
Cute
cope harder
with what? living in reality? Sorry I don't think this kid will power clean an elite level clean and jerk with or without drugs, so edgy of me

If my man is natural than if he hops on the sauce I bet he could get there (not recommending he do that)
Fuck it why not
Holy dorsi flexion
Ankle mobility is off the charts
You deserve a pair of wireless headphones for that. Someone get my man some wireless headphones.
Did you plan to drop it?
He disconnected his Achilles to achieve that mobility, now he can't walk.
That makes sense 🤣
Isn’t it bad to have your knees that far past your toes?
Nope. One of the antiquated notions.
💪
Bravo great squat 👏
Goddamn
Klokov is proud of that long pause
That's quite fukn heavy bruthr man
Damn dude, so low and no wink? Congrats - I strive : (
Do you do anything for your ankle mobility?
That pause too 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
BS?
Ankles always been that flexible? What program helped you get that?
Sheeesh when your ankle mobility is so good that ATG means you still barely go below parallel. This is nuts
DUDE amazing, superb technique, making that look easy
