Why do people rate this guy? He only has one gold medal from 14 years ago and 0 world records. Not even the best in his weight class from his own country

Because he's a combination of aesthetics and strength

he's handsome (well, was), looks aesthetic unlike his other countrymen, and knows how to market himself now so he has a sweet job even after his olympics career is over

But he's not even that strong

Because he's sexy as fuck. Manletdestiny even made entire program designed to look like him.

he can still push press 495 lbs

>push press
lol who fucking cares

because he's fucking cool you dork

Ilya is way stronger, that makes him cooler

He can BTNP your deadlift nigger.

Because he is aesthetic as fuck

Not according to his last meet. All the kazakhs are off their drugs since their weightlifting program just finished serving their ban.

Ilya's best CnJ @94 beats Klokov's best @105. They're not even close

Has klokov ever been caught doping? Ilya has.

yeah but he isn't as aesthetic or as handsome so Klokov wins 8^)

S? Both of them are roiding. Klokov dropped out of 2012 so he could avoid the tests

Guess ilyas just on better drugs I suppose.

Or maybe he's just a better lifter?

>klokov isn't even strong
Jow Forumsizen standards can be so fucking retarded kek

>at no point owned any world records

Neither have Arnold, Zyzz, Halfthor or tons of other objectively awesome dudes. Klokov is big, charming, and aesthetic. What's not to like? Shut up.

>Halfthor
>no world records

>only the literally strongest people in the world are allowed to be called 'strong'
fucking hell, kek

Ah, I stand corrected. Either way. Fucktons of awesome, helpful, charming, or entertaining people aren't THE BEST(tm) and that doesn't mean they aren't worthy of admiration.

Klokov looks like every young white guy on this board wants to look. Big, tall, handsome, and with a really great physique despite not training specifically for his physique. Why wouldn't people look up to him? He's also a gold medalist. That's not exactly something shared by every schmuck on fitness Youtube.
