Is it really that extreme? I just tested myself and without warming up, I could just the floor with my head leaning forward while both my heels were placed solidly on the floor. Just barely, but I could do it. From that perspective, Lu's flexibility doesn't seem extraordinary.
@@DirtyPoul that's not angle dorsiflexion but hamstring flexibility. Maximum ankle dorsiflexion is how much your knees can go forward while keeping your heels on the ground.
Casually squat jerking my max squat weight. Then I realise he's not even at the heaviest set yet. One of my all time favourite athletes. There is an extra ingredient that goes into Chinese athletes, and it's mostly to do with rock solid work ethic.
He is not warming up his shoulders. He is pretty much done with the workout. Why the fuck would he warm up then? He simply does lateral raises as a finisher for his shoulders.
Dragon ball is based on Journey to the West, a Chinese novel classic. Goku is basically based off the main character of the novel. They share the same name.
At first i was like whats that on the Back of Tian Tao but then i realized that is his back. And the Villlagers think another Earthquake hits Town, no just Lu Xiaojun and Tian at training.
Superb. I hope he wins gold in Rio!At the start of the video, he just showed the whole world that it is safe for the knees to exceed the toes during a squat, as long as you load the weight on the right muscles!
+Maurice Long Lu Xiaojun has short femurs, so if even his knees extend beyond his toes, you know it is an absolute necessity for this to occur in lifters with longer femurs. I don't know where this misinformation about 'don't let your knees go beyond your toes' came from or why it is so pervasive among people in fitness.
danehb89 I'm not going to argue if it's about going over the knees, but just because something's necessary doesn't mean that it's good body mechanics. My point was that movements that work for one athlete might not necessarily translate to success for others.
@@Tom-vu1wr Not a fair comparison when Lasha has been in the same weight class for some time now whereas Lu has been in three (77kg,81kg and now 73kg) since they started wringing major competitions. Plus remember I said “Lu is stronger pound for pound”. This means that although Lasha is stronger OVERALL, Lu is stronger pound for pound because : a. They can both squat 250kg. But Lu is stronger pound for pound because he has required less body weight to squat the same weight as a much heavier man b. Lu has back squatted 270kg which is almost 4x bodyweight,the most I have ever see Lasha back squat was about 300lg-310lg which is nowhere near 4xbidyweight for Lasha Furthermore: c. How is Lu Xiaojun not the GOAT of his weight class when he was the only one playing (in his weight class) with a 200kg C+J in TRAINING prior to his year off,is a 3x Olympic world champion, and his team mate Tian Tao who is extremely gifted himself,still has never snatched higher than Lu,at the same time being in a higher weight class? Even people from other countries one weight class heavier than Lu couldn’t’ snatch his 177kg WR? You’re probably the type of guy who loves the big guys for some reason.
@@Tom-vu1wr what planet have you been living on mate??? Easy contender for the goat in weightlifting. Not only that, he is the one responsible for generating more interest in the sport than any other lifter IMHO. Whether you think Lasha better than him or not is of course part of the debate, but Lu not in the goat debate? You gotta be joking 🤣🤣🤣
The Chinese are one of the best lifters in the sport. Especially at the olympic level. Which is amazing in that lifting isn't a popular sport culturally. Most Chinese are not about muscle and building up size. Y:et China produces some of the best (some might say "the best" and cleanest lifters in the world). Any time some joker pokes fun at Chinese guys (who don't lift) should watch videos like this. :) Chinese (China) do things so well. At the world level. Gymnastics. Olympic lifting. Fencing...etc.
@@khoabuivan4458 Most people in China like running and street fitness. Young people like badminton basketball and table tennis, but now they are going to the gym more and more.
Does anybody know if olympic lifters targets their pecs directly? Because this guy has amazing pecs, but i can't really see any of these lifts that really target the pecs?
After whatching his training videos, I am not confused anymore at the different technical details from different people and videos. I just try my best to copy what he does
Do you know how strict is the pick for those athletes? They start from the age of 3 and are later picked based on their potential and progress. This dude is picked among millions of weightlifters in China as the best one. Add around 15 years of brutal training. Thats why we can never be even close to him...
Looks like it hit his shin, when he is doing his deficit lifts you can see a plaster (band aid, if you're American) on his shin around the height he dropped it
Weightlifters are probably the most mental lifters in the barbell "sport". He probably does not drop it to be annoying, but he's replicating the exact movement pattern to the T that has been ingrained in his CNS removing any variable (putting the bar down slowly) that deviates from his heavy sets.
they do have that right.......you should check yourself buddy..making your own rules in your head that you will except a great lifter doing this, but when it is a guy who is working up to being like these guys emulates it your gonna catch feeling about it?? chill the fuck out and stop taking shit so seriously getting butthurt over nothing.
The average gym bro is borrowing the bar from the gym. It’s not his property to damage. These elite lifters can drop their own bars because it’s their property. See how that works?
Me: watching pro-athletes warmup with an empty bar to get comfortable with the workout. My gym dudes: let’s start off adding 50LB on the bar for warmups and just go from there.

Those movements he's doing with the barbell at the beginning really show how mobile and strong he is. He makes a 20kg barbell look like a 1kg PVC pipe

OH,tian tao
It is damn inspiring, i’m only starting out with 10kg/side. Been watching his videos since the start of tokyo olympics
How’s it going tho? It’s been a whole year
I am gaining more muscle from watching this video than my 2 hours session in the gym this morning
Its been 4 years and I am still stuck in here, this is amazing.
In another 20 years we'll be back here watching Lu train.
This man is such a fucking beast. Holy fucking ballbags
I keep on rewatching this video, beacause of how perfect Lu's movement patterns are.
cant get enough of lu!
He looks so freaking solid when he squat jerk....
ironically, he bombed out 3 times in the C&J in the 2015 worlds (where this video was filmed)
@@xdavidliu he missed 3 C&J in 2015, but he bombed out only once

flexibility of peace, wow.
Something I’m always amazed at is how 100kg requires some effort from me, but to Lu (who is half my size) works with it like it’s my 60kg
Using 10 kilo plates to warm up his shoulders. Sweet lol.
