If people don’t come to weightlifting, weightlifting has to go where the people are.
Check out this clip of Latvian weightlifters doing a little public demo.
Looks like a great weekend project for your gym/ weightlifting club.
Thanks to Michael for submitting this.
that kid with the glasses is mad strong. u got any more information on these guys?
Other that they’re Latvian no. Maybe someone reading this knows more…
Reader Phil dug up some more videos of the guys.
Like this double Clean & Jerk for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNBwkuDCwL4
cheers, thanks mate. thx for all the videos you post!
hmmm his stance is interesting. Do you have any other videos about the degree that toes are pointed out and width?
Sorry, no specific videos about that.
But Klokov approves this stance.

If you look at him lifting in 2004 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gMlObJtdo8
He is starting in a completely different position.
But then 2005 he is starting with hips low, toes pointed out, like he does today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWsblHhiFpc&feature=player_detailpage#t=2973s
ah yes I remember watching these. I tried it out and wow just solved the knee pain issue I’ve been facing for months. thanks a lot!lal
Wow, that’s great! Have fun lifting.
