Unless you are a gym goer it's probably very hard to appreciate just how powerful guys like this are. By normal standards I80kg is a respectable deadlift for a guy of his size.
Agreed. What's crazy is that this guy actually has both. Size and strength. If he decides to do body building he would do well. He even says it himself that he needs to be a little too lean for him to maintain the weith cap.
Gotta keep increasing that deadlift! I'm ahead of you with my 186 😎And I'm coming for that 200 before the year is through, and at a significantly lower bodyweight.
i competed (amateur) in conventional deadlifting compettiion back in the United States (2017 or so). In the under 180 lbs category (178 lbs body weight) i hit 515 lbs and got the podium. I could sense electrical signals runnign down my spine, brain fogging up, vision blurry and a nose bleed. This guy is 9 kgs heavier and cracked almost the same weight in clean and jerk and walks away with a celebratory punch.. MY GODDDDD
@@hobit7585 There is no doubt that on a professional level substances like steroids are a part of the training. But, there are also people out there which do have denser muscles. It's simply the peak in genetics what you see performing on the top.
@JimBobDewayne When I was in high school. We had the guy who bragged about smoking pot. He would kill it in track each year. I always felt like he did some steroids.

@@JimBobDewayne tell me one name in weightlifting athlete that didn't juice up. at go ahead try to juice up all you can, i'll wait you snatch that much
That's just insane power. Imagine walking into a gym knowing you're one of the strongest lifters and these guys are in there throwing weights over their head most people have trouble trying to deadlift. Yep, looks like it's a cardio day for me.
216 kg deadlift is achieved by probably less than 1% of commercial gym goers. And Li isn't even a big guy... Even his snatch is a great deadlift or squat in commercial gym...
@@ConnoisseurOfExistence the explosive power, the stability in both shoulders and core to move from the sqaut to overhead and then static strength to hold it is mind boggling.
You only want to lift in a gym if your one of the strongest in the room? Lifting is for everyone, people shouldn't feel inadequate or be discouraged from lifting because there's stronger people around, they should be inspired!
Man, today I just cleaned a one rep max, bench at 275 lbs - to see him lifting and throwing an additional 200lbs pounds over my 275lbs over his head is just out of this world. Very impressive strength.
@@josebonilla3241 Weightlifters don't bench because the type of muscles from bench pressing interferes with the motion and technique of their weightlifting.
, He's5 '10 195 lbs and and to see what he's accomplished is mind blowing ! l I was watching him and observing his gaze , he's got a freakishly strong body but man I think he's got got an even stronger mind to do what he's done
I really can't agree more with the other comment: you simply cannot grasp how hard he must have trained, how unbelievable what he has achieved, and how moving that moment really is, unless you work out. That last inch. That one last push. Breathtaking. Bravo. Mad respect.
This fellow is a superb athlete. Not only is he strong, he has stamina and agility, a potent combination that enables him to get the weight moving upward, lifting even himself in that process, then dashing under the weight before it falls too far. Perhaps the greatest gift he possesses, is his mental strength.... He appears to me to lack intimidation of the heaviest weights, approaches the bar with extreme confidence and executes perfect form with every lift. I hope to see more lifts by Li Dayin, I hope he is blessed with a long and healthy career !!
The most impressive part of this to me was that he failed 475 on his first attempt and then hit it on his second. Absolutely insane mental willpower, not to mention physical strength.
Plenty of things to appreciate here, one is the insane display of strength and explosive power, one of the other things to note is the incredible hip and ankle mobility and the ability to lift the weight of the ground with shoes with raised heels
Olympic lifting is pure poetry in motion . When I was a kid there was a guy in my small town of New Zealand who went to the 1982 commonwealth games , 1984 Los Angeles olympics , 1986 commonwealths in Edinburgh Scotland , 1988 soul olympics and 1990 commonwealth games New Zealand . He lifted in the 82.5 kg class and his best lifts were a snatch of 152kg and a clean and jerk of 193kg . Phenomenal lifts for 82.5 kg but he said to me years latter the Bulgarians and Russians in the day were dame near snatching his clean and jerk . Just ridiculous strength really .
I appreciate the amount of effort that's been put into every Snatch weight. No matter how light or heavy. I'm literally learning right now and getting 20to30kgs up is hard yet I can bench 110kgs and Squat 100kgs deadlift 160kgs so long journey ahead for me.
Li Dayin is seriously awesome to watch! In my opinion one of the most effortless-looking lifts was from Kakhi Kakhiashvili World Record 188 Kg, Athens, 1999
At around 1:33 there is Seb's voice talking over himself. Just FIY. It's like double the Seb. Lol. Other than that I appreciate Seb's commentary and the video.
Exceptional lifting. But it just brings home how exceptional the great David Rigert was. Lifting in the 90kg class he made 180 + 220, for a 400kg total. Almost 50 years ago…
@@showt1me133 Thats why weightlifting is boring nowadays. With much better training programs and gyms imagine how strong these lifters would be without these corrupt doping rules.
An extraordinary demonstration of the amazing capabilities of the human body. The power to move such prodigious weights above the head like that is almost beyond belief, not least when considering it is produced by living tissue and bone limited by genetics that can be trained to achieve such feats of strength. Truly inspiring!
@@roncaruso931 If you're assuming china uses PEDs then you can assume every nation does as well, currently and in the past. It's illogical to assume only one nation uses PEDs in one time period. Despite that, WRs aren't broken by everyone who decides to take up weightlifting. Only the best can. Some weightlifters never come close to breaking WRs during their entire career. PED use doesn't take away from the impressiveness of this because not everyone can do what he does, is what I'm trying to say.
@@roncaruso931 if everyone cheating… and you know everyone cheating… Then you can’t really hate. You could always go start a drug free weightlifting competition. Someone would eventually try cheating though… lol.
Best power jerk in all history. Not just getting the job done but damn aesthetic to behold. I bet money that it's gonna a new trend much like the earlier squat jerk wave.
It's so crazy to watch these guys do these lifts. He just did the clean where the weight went the length of his neck before coming back and hitting him in the clavicle... and not even a flinch. That was 216kg...
Blagoy Blagoev did 195 kg in the 90 kg class. Asen Zlatev snatched 183 kg in the 82.5 categorie. YURIK VARDANYAN did 405 kg worldrecord in total (182.5 224) in the 82.5kg class.
Until someone can beat Naim Suleymanoglu's 504 Sinclair he will remain the greatest weightlifter of all time. And no one between the 80-100 weight category has come close to Yurik Vardanian's Sinclair total of 489 (182.5/224 at 82.5) in 39 years and counting.
@@theermios3098 no one cares about those records. They are useless. Lu 177kg at 77kg is the lightest to snatch 100kg over bodyweight. So 50+ years and counting lol
"Too much muscles" is a pretty dumb thesis in a sport where athletes only walk from the backroom to platform and then lift maximal weights using their... muscles. It can be a problem for front rack positioning and elbow extension (tight biceps) but that's not an issue when you have Chinese massage therapists limbering you up all day.

What does Li Dayin shout before each attempt?
can't hear clearly, think some instances it's "come! come! come!", some it's "let's go again!"
「來了來了來了!!lai le lai le lai le」 it means “Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes” with a hint of central Chinese accent.
THIS IS SPARTA
