Guillotine Pause Reps from Scott Wheeler on Vimeo.

This is how to get rid of straps after making a training snatch. @klokovd after a 175kg/385lb snatch (he did 184/405 after this).
@klokovd ‘s celebration face with 197kg/435lb overhead
@ilyailyin4ever answering questions at the @norwoodweightlifting seminar at @waxmansgym — and using my sequence banner of @klokovd snatching 184kg to illustrate technique
@ilyailyin4ever checking out some sequences of himself. I spent several hours with him yesterday and found out the following: he’s getting a PhD in weightlifting, there is an Ilya Ilyin school opening in Kyzylorda (his hometown) next year, he thinks that USA weightlifting is on a very good track as far as young lifter development, he programs one year at a time and his system came from Enver Turkeleri (Turkish coach who works for Kazakhstan), he doesn’t get free Romaleos from Nike (!!) and he definitely wants to compete through 2020 if possible.
My dad's hands Are rough. They can cover my Face when they're open And when they're closed They can take down any wall. They've picked me up When I fell off my bike 50 times, learning to ride with Just two wheels. And when I had that fever, They rubbed my forehead with A cold rag, And somehow the fever Vanished. They held my hand To cross the street On my first day of kindergarten, Where I cried Not wanting my daddy To leave me. They've beared the cold weather, So he could watch me Play soccer when I was 3 All the way to college. They've been at my high school Graduation, where he held the Camera, To take pictures of me Walking across the stage to get My diploma And they'll be there At my college graduation too. Today, His hands Are the same But rougher They've been through My first day of college, Helping me move in to my dorm Or hugging me for five minutes When I come home from school. Later on, They'll give me away To the man standing at the Altar, And hold his first Grandchild. These hands are my Childhood, Medicine, Strength, Home.
Slow-mo of Klokov with 180kg. No pause at the top of the clean, just right into the jerk. So effortless.
