NU recruit Klachko has deep-rooted regimen

[Nexus]

LINCOLN — There's a beautiful gym at the Ultimate Sports and Fitness Complex in Springfield, Ill., a place that Ryan Klachko said is sweet and convenient and has everything somebody would need to get in a high-level workout.

 

Light pours in through the many windows, which also allow for a view of the people, traffic and the day passing by on the outside.

How do you not blow a butt bearing is beyond me.

 

those other vids with guys lifting 1000+ lbs from the knees doesn't seem as hard as a pick from the ground and considering he's a high school graduate. Not a 28 year old roid guerilla

I remember a set of highlights for this guy awhile back. He has that nasty streak that seems to come with some of the greats and he made more pancakes that IHOP. Our offensive line has some amazing prospects...

1000 pound club welcomes you

Impressive lift, esp. for a 17 year old. While I was at Nebraska, I had the luxury of lifting in the varsity gyms. I saw some pretty amazing lifts during that timeframe, this would have been among them.

 

Some teams try to win by dominating the trenches. Others try to win with speed at the skill positions. With the guys we have coming in, we have a real opportunity to do both.

somewhat impressive. for someone that size i would hope to see an extra 150 lbs. ive seen plenty of people his age half the size pull a deadlift with proper form that weighed more than that. i have always expected at least 3X bodyweight on a deadlift with experienced lifters and most people dont seem to take too long to reach that goal, about 3 months. jmo.

Generally you are correct, but it is a good lift for a 17 year old. A triple-bodyweight lift would have put him at about 150 lbs. under the world record for a raw lift, which is asking too much IMO. (As an FYI, my PR was a 465 lbs. deadlift at a bodyweight of 151.)

 

Now you could point out that he's using a Trap bar, with elevated handles, and that the bar is set a few inches off the ground with mats, but I'm not going to pick nits. It was a good effort with solid form, especially for a 17-year-old kid. I imagine he'll be able to add 150 lbs. to that lift easily in his first year here.

most people that i have worked with have done 300+ to start and rapidly increased that to the 400-500 pound range, some much higher. my personal best is 605 pounds for a 1 rep max and 545 for a 5 rep max while i weigh 192 lbs and we do not use straps or anything other than a straight line bar. again just my experiences with the deadlift.
