Bit of analysis on Klokov's power clean and press, and what you can take from it, as there is one very significant point to learn from this in my opinion.
First the numbers:
I'd say Klokov weighs around the 110kg easy here, as weightifters always train about 5kg over their competitive bodyweight, so...
Bodyweight: 110kg
Best Clean & Jerk: 230kg
Power Clean & press: 162kg
162kg = 147% x bodyweight, so find your own bodyweight and multiply it by 147% to compare (for curiosity's sake).
162kg = 70% of max clean & jerk.
If I was to compare myself when I was weightlifting, the numbers would go as follows:
Bodyweight: 73kg
Best Clean & Jerk: 160kg
Power Clean = 140kg (have never done a power clean then a press when I was weightlifting).
Best seated press: 90kg
90kg = 123% x bodyweight
Today if I could power clean my own bodyweight then press it overhead, I'd be pleased with that effort. Now to the little "secret" that you can take from Klokov's video.
We all know the difference between a power clean and a clean. The clean is a totally different beast, one that demands extreme power and strength combined to execute most efficiently. Because the weight is much lighter in the power clean, the stress on the legs is negligible, allowing the lifter to remain 100% fresh and able. But there's more to it than that if your aim is to press overhead right after your power clean. It's actually (and this is my opinion based on my experience) easier to press a weight post a power clean than to simply walk up to a loaded bar on a rack and military press it overhead.
How does that work? I mean how can it be easier when intuitively you'd think otherwise based on the effort it took the lifter to power clean the weight up to his shoulders in the first place right? On the surface yes it makes sense that you should be able to press more from a bar off the rack, but if we delve just below the surface, we find a whole different game at play here. Again, this is my opinion based on my won lifting experience.
When the bar was power cleaned, it took your whole nervous system to bring everything together in an instant of explosive power, a symphony of ONE relying on ensuring maximum muscle recruitment at will. Now that we know what just took place underneath the surface, what do you think happened to all these nerve endings that (just one second ago), were firing like crazy? Would you say it's more than likely they all went back to sleep, or would it be more plausible to say that these firing squad is still standing to attention, ever so ready for another beckoning call from you? I'd say it's the latter, and that beckoning call form you comes almost as soon as you steady yourself, before pressing over your head what you just power cleaned.
If nothing, your adrenaline hormone would still be bathing every cell within your muscle fibers, ever so ready to continue igniting yet another fire somewhere else, and in this case, that somewhere else is your second part of the movement that is the pressing overhead. Your brain sees this as one continuous movement, because that's what you have told it your intention would be even before you power cleaned the weight, so nothing, not a thing within you would be back to normal until the
whole job is completed.
