He is perfectly built for this sport, his proportions, muscle inserts etc are perfect. Someone that with immense talent and ridiculous hard work you achieve near perfection
@4:25 the bar hardly moves during the slow motion. his technique is so perfect - never seen anything like that before. he lifts the bar and then ducks under it... great capture!
Well, no doubt he's awesome and makes me question my sexuality But... There are 150kg at that bar so how the hell should it move anyway 😂 it's not like that 50 kg warmup where you balance the bar in the air. It's hit or miss.
@@ryanreviews8566 what are you talking about? He IS snatching (not that you don't contact the bar at cj's...) ask you trainer, don't try to learn this via UA-cam you gonna hurt yourself
Agree looks like a piece of art that technical execution of the lift. By real weightlifters like Lu here. Those crossfitters are a joke. Their technique is kinda sloppy and not even 100% clean.
@@disguyiknow those are probably sponsored and given. At least the sport related stuff. Idk about this sport but china sponsor literally every for other sports.
Fr, although for his amazing aesthetic body, he may be the perfect build for this sport but not any others at all. His legs are so short, and his arms too which is why you see the bar hit his pelvis instead of his upper thighs. Most all great athletes in other sports are built the opposite with very long limbs, but I think his funky stocky build really helps him move the weight. Definitely made for this sport though, short legs means more torque and less distance, and short arms means higher bar contact when getting the bar to bounce up to his chest or over head clean.
Imagine... having all eyes on you in the training hall when you're only halfway through working up to the heavier weights. Everyone who knows a thing or two about weightlifting just really can't help but turn to watch
but seriously Lu is a master. So much of the sport seems to me dependent on body leveraging skills as much as strength. He has incredible mastery of his body.
i love lu, nohomo, his lifting style is so gracious and he is so chill and seems so humble, not only that, i started weightlifting just about a month ago after playing american football and body building for over 11 years, still have a lot to learn, my dream is to one day compete in the olympics, at 22 years of age at first i thought it was already too late but seeing lu compete at 34 year old gives me so much motivation. anyway nice vid as always ATG
I’m sorry i hate to be the bad guy here... but if you started at 22 you are never going to the Olympics unless you live in a country that has no weightlifting tradition so you don’t have any competition.
As I stated, it's a dream of mine, something that motivates me, kinda sad for people to think it's okay to step on people's dreams, but whatever I'm using it as fuel to even try harder.
Those golden shoes can only be worn by the world champion in Chinese lifting team, and you cannot even but it from the market. Those shoes have "champion" printed on them. Lu basically shows off that he is the boss here and also the world record holder.
honestly, i watch all of the team china videos cos i wanna know how to squat better, i take inspiration from their workouts and try to make it work for myself
I wonder how light the bar must feel like. I worked out for about 5 months daily and got a lot stronger than I use to and the bar felt light. I stopped workimg out for 2 months and I'm getying back into it and the bar feels way heavier than it should. But like I wasnt even that strong 2 months ago so I wonder how light the bar feels for people that do this as a living.
I am a powerlifter ...I never do snatch coz I feel it's way to risky for your scapular moment and lower and mid spine rotator cuffs...but everytime I walk into gym and see a barbell I just want to perform this exercise idk why..

Do you use optical flow when slowing down video, or do you use frame sampling?
Randall Gorman optical flow it is
Why do you never do one for Deng Wei? She's as dominant as one can be in her weight class
@@noelito7855 Hell Yeah!!!!....... We want some Deng Wei training vids!!! Please make it happen ATG!!!
Legend has it he sleeps in a squat position and is awoken at the crack of dawn by the sound of an empty barbell hitting the floor.
Empty ... ? weakness saddens me ... :P Very nice comment man :)
Ryan Price 😂
@@nkosev It's for the warm-up bro
Lu doesn't need sleep like a mere mortal. He meditates in the squat position with his snatch pr above his head
No way he would sleep with empty barbell, at least he would have one or two 25 each side
I'm a simple man. I see Lu Lu and I click.
😂
I watch a topless video of Lu Lu...
Topless!!
Same here, just so mesmarising watching him snatch!
Coach Yu Jie smiling at the end knowing Team China is gonna dominate the championships
His body movement resembles more of a machine reather than the human being. Its like he has hydraulic joints or something..
China for u
He is perfectly built for this sport, his proportions, muscle inserts etc are perfect. Someone that with immense talent and ridiculous hard work you achieve near perfection
I cant be the only straight male here checking out Lu Xiaojun...
You were Until I came....no homo
The real question is,
Are you still straight after the video?
I'm am bro this guys is very impressive. HARD WORK AND DEDICATION RIGHT THERE
You don't gotta be gay to appreciate and amazing physique and athlete
@@feveredmushroomHD So funny lol
You know his form is perfect when he drops the barbell perfectly.
@4:25 the bar hardly moves during the slow motion. his technique is so perfect - never seen anything like that before. he lifts the bar and then ducks under it... great capture!
beatfox9 ....that’s Olympic level weightlifting for you buddy. Lmao
@@tolbster. wrong. Thats lu level weightlifting

@@ryanreviews8566 you make contact in both, but yea don't learn this from UA-cam. You run the risk of severe injury should you decide to lift heavy
Just... The manliest man-man of men who inspires more manly men though his manly-manness. Many mans for this man-man.
Oh man😵😵
Agreed.
His muscle is perfect for human beings. Natural And powerful.
And again. Another gold at his age of 37. Never say too old.
Natural + Chinese athlete?
He's an amazing athlete.
@@FREEMAN.... why you acting like chinese people cant be good athletes
@@enderwarrior008 Why can't you live in the real world where communists use victories in sports to prove the superiority of their system ?
Not naturally
Daaaamn Tian Tao Coach and Lyu saying Bye Bye to you.. I'd feel honored :D
It's just beautiful to watch, the form is perfect and so fluid. Poetry in motion...
technique is amazing power amazing explosiveness amazing perceived effort negligible. off to the gym i go.
is that a poem?
Amazing.
@@letsprogress4124 anything's a poem if you let it be

Damn! He has the best snatch form of all the lifters! It just looks like poetry in motion.
Time to fail no nut 19 again
College gym bro’s buy a 90 dollar bag for their shoes and belt. One of the best lifters of all time uses a plastic bag
But do you think the average Joe spends as much on everything else lu has? Idt so
guys got golden shoes my man, not sure that helps your point
@@disguyiknow those are probably sponsored and given. At least the sport related stuff. Idk about this sport but china sponsor literally every for other sports.
Ban they probably spend more.
He would buy a nice $90 bag for his shoes if he could afford it
So much respect for this man
1:55 the low back of the gods !
10/10 bar slams, wouldnt expect anything less from Lü
Training hall videos involving lu are on a whole ‘nother level
7:28 love the guy in the red tshirt doing the exercise along with Lu until he gets distracted by something on the ceiling.
Nobody:
All Things Gym: LU XIAOJUN
That ain't no problem
More like everybody!
Luco Zade ain’t no problem ain’t no problem - sharpe
I don't think that's how this meme works.
I love it when he dives under that Bar in slow motion that like Art
3:40
Lu, , Koha, and Nat. All in one frame.
Oh my!
*Koha's coach watches intensely to find the secret formula*
I thought I was straight then I see Lu
Thanks for these. All the best to everyone.
this is like the hunger games where all the competitors train together
is this guy aware that he is like a god on the internet?
no. He doen't even watch youtube
He is too busy being the weight lifting god
China doesn't have youtube.
Elite Recht youtube isn’t the entire internet..
He has Olympic gold, it’s the most god like
I want ankle mobility and posture like that. I’m so jealous that he can sit that far back and maintain his balance and flexibility with such ease.
Go work on it
If you want it, work for it
He has a massive heel in his shoe.
The heel lift definitely helps with that. But he also has good mobility.
@@cantankerouspatriarch49811 inch heel max
You know you are good when you throw around a bare bar and nobody yells at you.
lol at Shi Zhiyong looking like straight up Goku in the background
Dude is yolked af

It’s so satisfying when they drop an empty bar on the platform
Imagine... having all eyes on you in the training hall when you're only halfway through working up to the heavier weights. Everyone who knows a thing or two about weightlifting just really can't help but turn to watch
even their "bye bye" are so cool.
This is so chill, i love these videos
best part of the video was them all saying bye....
Just here to see that one comment about them dropping an empty bar...
Those $800 bars made of steel with decades of experience aren’t made to be dropped bro
@@jonathanchildress9865 is that a joke
Let's Progress he is right, Oly bars are way too expensive to throw them down without weight.
Let's Progress it is a joke
Charlie Ch that’s not true and even if it was, those bars are only used once before being retired.
this is the best channel on all of UA-cam.
Lu Xiaojun and Tian Tao, I love them
The Mr. Olympia of weightlifting.
His coach loading the bar, damn, I wish my coach did that.
his technique just looks sooooo smooth
Literally beautiful technique.
2:38 : A wild Koha spotted!
you are right man!!
If he dropped that empty bar from a 3 story apartment building no one would bat an eye
but seriously Lu is a master. So much of the sport seems to me dependent on body leveraging skills as much as strength. He has incredible mastery of his body.
Amazing how hes throwing those weights around like that 😱

I’m sorry i hate to be the bad guy here... but if you started at 22 you are never going to the Olympics unless you live in a country that has no weightlifting tradition so you don’t have any competition.
lu competes as a 34 year old but started when he was 16 or 18, at 22 u are not going to make it mate
Pretty sure Lu started training as a pre teen. Could be wrong though. It just took him two decades to dominate.
As I stated, it's a dream of mine, something that motivates me, kinda sad for people to think it's okay to step on people's dreams, but whatever I'm using it as fuel to even try harder.
Don’t stop trying to achieve that dream, mate. It’s always crazy or unattainable until someone does it
The entire hall is watching.
3:55 all eyes are at lu 😂
It's amazing how well he stays balanced over the bar.
3:37 Everybody be mirin
Gosh. I couldn't even remotely think of how much pain and training someone has to endure to be like LU.
damn 34 years old and such a great human
Great video, thanks for the content!
Perfect technique that is insane !
Legends are here after watching lu's comeback training video just to check how strong was lu Xian back then and to compare😂😂
Still the best snatcher in the world. Gorgeous bar path.
MY BODY IS READY
Thx for the upload, ATG! Do u know when u will upload Lu's C&J warm-up routine???
I watch Lu's video everyday.
these footages are so relaxing tho!
Those golden shoes can only be worn by the world champion in Chinese lifting team, and you cannot even but it from the market. Those shoes have "champion" printed on them. Lu basically shows off that he is the boss here and also the world record holder.
I have no idea how I got here or why it was on my feed. But thanks YT. 🤤

*no belt, no LA fitness yelling. damn , Chinese are crazy. gotta love the power.*
This is how we lift our life , dare to take, dare to 放下，拿得起放得下
Anyone knows where to get that shirt? Looks cool af
3:53 Rebeka Koha in the background!!
world champion always extraordinary
Ehab won the gold in the Snatch, would love to see his warm up too
Check older videos on this channel
Yeah theres a great warm up vid of him on the channel already, not too long ago
THANK YOU !!!
3:32 when everyone stops to look
just Pause at 1:28 and admire these Legs goddamn. What do i have to do to get Legs like this ? Let me guess Sqatting for 10 years ?
8:44
He is simply magical
Look how all people in the hall are staring at him.
His mechanics are fucking crazy.The bar doesn’t move forward at all.
I love his shoes
7:33 Lyu coach is like "why the hell i am even here"
Technique and form is amazing
I wonder how light the bar must feel like. I worked out for about 5 months daily and got a lot stronger than I use to and the bar felt light. I stopped workimg out for 2 months and I'm getying back into it and the bar feels way heavier than it should. But like I wasnt even that strong 2 months ago so I wonder how light the bar feels for people that do this as a living.
Those that want to use this as a replay button, watch at 0.25x speed. @2:15
what an absolute unit
His entire set of training equipment consist of bar bell and plates.
Why am I keep watching a guy lifting metal plates and not getting bored 😑
I am a powerlifter ...I never do snatch coz I feel it's way to risky for your scapular moment and lower and mid spine rotator cuffs...but everytime I walk into gym and see a barbell I just want to perform this exercise idk why..
Same
4:06.. Look at his lumbar makeup! Its like he's got a second layer of back muscles 😲
Any Yang Zhe footage kickin around 🤔🤔
I can imagine Koha's coach doing hand gestures watching this lift @1:08
Good video!
I'm really interested on his scapula mobility
his coach is so fierce
His bar path is artistic
That ankle mobilty though
His back muscles are so developed that they make him look like he has a rounded back
Me when I say bye bye: 👋🤓
Jin says bye bye: ⚡🔥⚡ 👋😎 epic
Does someone know why he stands on plates when he does some of his exercises?
Schwenkbidd Rotzer for deadlift it's more difficult coz you have to move longer. so it strengthen your power more.
Wena tío ATG impeque como siempre 👏
