I saw him winning again the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games. He was far beyond their adversaries. He started with a load similar to the last 4 competitors afterward, he lifted 4 or 8 kilograms more than the other lifters. He is 37 years old, this Chinese is an outstanding athlete.
He is absolutely outstanding. Patient and persevering, self discipline, common touch. Because his name 'Jun' means army or troops, we call him 'Jun shen' in China means 'Mars‘ or 'God of war'.
I don’t think we should appreciate the Chinese system in any sports. There’s thousands of those province members each year sacrificed their teenage years only to become the top 5 best in the country. Rest of them will be expelled at mid20s with no proper education struggle to make a living for the rest of their lives
@@kennethclark1583 I'm from Colombia and the same happens with football players(what Americans call soccer), only a few from thousands of teenagers get the chance to be professional (depends on the talent and skills) , and is the same in South America related to sports if you got injured or there are better kids than others, they are thrown to the garbage.

From an absolute beginner who started weightlifting two weeks ago: Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your channel is a hidden gem and I learn so much. I know you coach several sports, but please do as much weightlifting content as you can possibly manage!
@@jater10 yes, i guess our gym culture is little bit different, especially in lifting area. louder sound for droping a bar means you lift more weight, and that loud sound make you feel pround for what you just did.
@@zhengcao3483 Nope, you can only represent yourself. I been workout 10 years in shenzhen. People with respects in the gym don't usually drop the bars. It's different in Lv Xiao Jun's situation though. He needs to practice muscle memory for heavy weights after. So ppl would cut him some slacks.
What Lu is saying about his relationship with Weightlifting is very similar to what Tom Brady says about his relationship to Football - it's become a natural extension of himself and he's totally internally motivated to continue the Journey.
"so this is shortly after he bullied me"🤣 love how you smile .... It's definitely one of your favorite stores, you loved every single bit of that experience 😂
5:36 if you just tell people that once they have past their knees they need to get into the power position by bringing their shoulders over their hips while they are continuously applying pressure through the whole foot, they will naturally get there Instead of saying knees forward because"Knees forward" will cause their heels to come off the ground. "Knees forward" will also cause a weak position because they'll change where their force is applied and almost seem counter intuitive. You want the lift to be intuitive. All about getting to power position.
Great review, your comments about the grind are so true. You have to enjoy the pain, and the pleasure of the accomplishment every day and training of the little pieces of perfection put together. The rewards on the podium come after years, the technique truly does need to be established first, whether you start as a youngster in your teens or even in your later years. Returning to the sport after 15 years retirement, the grind is what I truly enjoy. I purchased and utilized one of your masters programs that helped me attain my second National Championship in Weightlifting & first Masters National Championship. Being able to compete for 10 years at or near the top of the senior national level at a more advanced age and not starting until I was already in my very late 20s (switching over from powerlifting) gave me a special appreciation of how elegant & challenging Weightlifting truly is & that is why the grind is so enjoyable. I truly enjoy your videos and commentary. Your enthusiasm and sincerity about the sport is great to see. I hope you one day get to meet you at one of the masters national events if you are by chance in attendance. Best Regards Kevin Dittler, 1997 USAW Senior National Champion & 2023 Masters National Champion
Chinese weightlifting form>>>. Lu is an absolute beast but, Chinese form in general is so smooth and efficient. Sliding the feet, pushing knees out, and keeping them bent until the second pull is so much better than jumping
12:25 tbf if you walked into a weightlifting hall in China and started dropping empty barbells, likely nobody would bat an eye. I don't think he is trying to be inconsiderate.
@@jondoc7525 b-but the government said all Chinese (only han Chinese because they hate religious minorities) 95% of the population is pro CCP-government Obviously this is a manufactured percentage made to look nice for everyone, but shows how evil the CCP government is. Chinese people deserve better than this…everyone is china deserves better
I enjoyed watching you analyze LU. I wonder if you can also do a video on the training methods used by 67kg Korean weightlifter Lee Sang, who is a freak athlete and also has an amazing physique.
Great analysis of Lu, for me Lu and Lasha Talakhadze are the most technically proficient lifters to ever step on the platform IMO. They make the lifts look so effortless, it doesn’t matter if it’s a 20k warm up or a near max effort you wouldn’t know the difference as their technique is so refined, both athletes have redefined weightlifting. You should do a similar video analysis of Lasha.
Power comes from the feet.... playing a lot of golf I believe that is where a lot of power is generated pushing/planting your feet firmly into the ground it translates to a stronger ball strike, same for sprinting the more power of the foot striking the ground generates more speed....
Also important to note... beginning of the second portion of the lift, setting a wider stance. You need a wider base to help with the balance of the weight above your head.
Quite a shallow learning curve which means a lot of time has to be put into a non sport related method of training. Mastering the triple extension is key though. That carries over to almost all athletics.
You forgot to mention he looks like he's 20 despite long taxing career and sweating pure testosterone, I don't know who his parents are but one is probably some Chinese god
Only thing I can think of regarding the bar dropping is that it pretty closely mimics all their warm up reps, just sans bumpers. More I think about it the more I could see that as preferable, especially on comp day. Watching eleikos seize from the hit sure does hurt though. Hope it doesn't catch on
It’s culture. We were introduced to bodybuilding first (isolation) which is way more prone to error. They were interested in movement first, martial arts, which set them up for success in the long term. That’s why there is so much disfunction and fragmented movement patterns in our society. We have a lot of unlearning to do. At least I do
Lu was robbed in 2016. Rahimov never had the jerk under control. He was falling forward with it when they gave him the down command and counted it. You can really see it from the side angle.
Definitely the greatest Chinese lifter, and probably Top 5 of all time. One of only 5 lifters to when 3 gold medals. Dude just won his third gold last year, and he's almost 40! Most lifters dont even keep lifting competitively after 30.
The reason why they drop the weights like that is to save the wear and tear and potential injury and damage on the upper and lower back. Just some info from someone that went to medical school...and lifts.
He's been lifting since he was 10 or 11. I think he was put in a Chinese state/provincial run sports academy. He's basically been training 5-6 days a week since he was 10 or 11
Training for years is one thing, but what is more important is how the program is implemented. The Chinese program has a heavy focus on strength in positions and technique. Plus some bodybuilding exercises. Anta shoes a plus.
How strong is an average guy compared Olympic gold medalist freestyle wrestler ... Pls pls make a. Vdo n who do u thnk are the strongest athletes overall
I have very very poor ankle mobility due to an injury on my right ankle. I currently have weightlifting shoes with an additional versa heel lift in it to help supplement my bad ankle mobility. It’s still very difficult for me to get into the bottom of a clean/snatch position. What would you recommend?
squat jerk > split jerk. even if its better for whatever reason. squat jerk just looks wayyyy more impressive. and its rare for the lifters at his caliber to do the squat jerk.
I don't think you are being old school with saying "Do not drop barbells on floor." It's logical, are the Chinese old school also that they still bow down to their Elders as a greeting. In the Pehlwani or Kushti videos the wrestlers never drop or slam their or anyone else's equipment due to the "respect" factor on the basis of " These equipment are the source of their name, fame or goal achievement." they have the respect for the equipment, I even;not to be judgemental I don't even think his barbell or Dumbbell accessories will be of any quality.
What about the bulgarian/turkish athlete, naiem sulimongalu ? Pocket hercules. He cleaned three times his body weight. Not taking anything away from Lu
He is indeed a great weightlifter But I have tried to find a single lifter at 81Kg with total lift of 417Kg Yurik vardanyan in 1980 Olympics lifted a total of WR 405Kg, which won the 82Kg Gold, and would also win the 90Kg Gold & the 100KG Gold No other lifter has achieved such result since. They changed the weight category to get rid of his World Record , the new 81Kg has never seen a lifter get close to Yurik
Great vid great explanation!If you get popped for a test aren't you suspended for life?Do you think there should be a more stringent tests for a level playing field?Cheaters never prosper!
Point where he suggests that Liu is taking PEDs 7:25. Watch his response on Lasha who was actually tested positive but he's a great technician and phenomenal talent. Sigh.
This is a method I made up (at least I think I did) but it has helped me. Basically you hold a 40lb dumbbell or whatever weight you can handle behind your back and under ur ass, then squat down, holding the dumbell under your butt. This will pull you backwards, and the only way to keep from falling back is to pull your feel upwards using your tibialis. You will gain strength and mobility. You basically just squat as low as you can without falling over paying attention to your feet flexing upwards. Also, check out kneesovertoesguy on youtube. Plenty of exercises that will give you flexibility and strength in your legs. Ive tried all his stuff and it works.
I think Liao Hui is the only Chinese male weightlifter to ever get caught and punished for doping in Chinese men's weightlifting in recent history, or as far as I can remember haha
he grows not training at 15 or 19 years old lu training was a kid when he was age of 4 his family are poor farmer live inner center china with very limited going out to town his muscles power is generating from young of kids until today's he is awesome person

thoughts on Li Dayin?
Lu and the chinese have turned olympic weightlifting into an artform.
Do you think powerlifting would help boxers like myself? I'm looking to recruit such explosive power then I can send my opponents to sleep.
I can’t see how learning to recruit your entire central nervous system to coordinate in explosive movements wouldn’t benefit any athlete.
If you're considering that weight class well close to that weight class Pyros Dimas would be it
I don't think you are being old school with saying "Do not drop barbells on floor." It's logical, are the Chinese old school also that they still bow down to their Elders as a greeting.
