If you follow strength sports like CrossFit or weightlifting you will know the name Dmitry Klokov.

The Russian Olympic silver medallist is an absolute beast. But when he's not throwing a 200kg barbell above his head, it seems Klokov is putting his impressive physique to good use elsewhere. JOE was quite surprised when he appeared at a bodybuilding show in Russia tanned up and pulling poses. https://instagram.com/p/2EUHAxjHNI/?taken-by=klokovd Our Russian is a bit rusty, but it looks like he more than held his own at the Yashankin Cup bodybuilding competition in his homeland (where a lot of the entrants also seemed to have superpowers like hand-chopping wooden blocks...or being an Olympic weightlifter.) We don't even know if he did any old school bodybuilding training. He may never have done a single bicep curl, but whatever he does with a barbell seems to keep him pretty ripped. We liked the look of this... You can check out his posing routine on the video he filmed... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNyvd2PmnTQ
