LYU: *fails second lift*
Also LYU: screw it, let’s just go for the world record
lmao
Reminds me of Steiner in 08
@@richardsanchez9190 he was so great
it's the Chinese mentality.....either win gold or don't win a medal at all.
The
The power in these guys is crazy. Lu is my favorite but I have mad respect for Ehab who came for a fight. Insane.
Also wears SBD's, so you have to subtract 7 KG from total.
Thats what sport is all about.
Waldel Martell you are completely wrong.
i agree with u Ehap more intensity
@@johnbreuwet6224 I know this comment is old, but why are guys like Ehab allowed to use belts in these competitions? I feel like nobody should be allowed to use them since they can help so much.
Who knew weightlifting commentary could be so good?
ahaha true
Only power and skills are getting respect here, instead of nationality, race and religions.
Yep
Well, Michaela breeze is back and she is completely butchering the sport.
Chinese lifters always so humble with the bow every time, respect
thanks
Chinese people will bow to this comment to thank you for the compliment.
chinese treasure mutal repesct above all... morals > knowlegde and skill, morals are the basics of being a person
thanks for your comment, my friend
The Chinese always bow to other humans which is against the belief of 1 God
I like Lu more but I've never seen more intensity than Ehab.
Go watch milko tolklov
You got to be smooth with weightlifting and make the weights look effortlessly
Ehab took his record?
How bout Shi Zhiyong, dude's intensity was crazy

As much as I love these two, I feel like this battle had 3 athletes, despite one of them being a newcomer.

He's like the free DLC that we didn't expect to be great.
No, heard of him before. Only if you're new to oly weightlifting.

Greatest power jerk I've seen

I cried
👏👏👏👏
@@henkiedebomb for what?
@@hatred9077 For his humility
@@henkiedebomb Yeah even kneeling for his country when he failed. Great humility but don’t be too tough on yourself ehab!
keep in mind lu xiaojun snatched 177kg at 77kg, he is still the greatest of all time
Facts
I absolutaley adore Lu and think he is the best of this era but Naim Suleymanoglu also called pocket hercules snatched 152.2kg at 62kg and is the only weightlifter to have snatched 2.5 times his bodyweight. (Jerked 10kg more than triple his bodyweight with 190kg)
@@lalokay1451 actually, when he lift 152.5 kg snatch his weight was 60 kg
@@lalokay1451 yeah , his bodyweight strength ration was out of whack. His max squat and deadlift was probably 4 times his bodyweight
@@lalokay1451 lol Suleymanoglu did that in the 80s.... soviet records mean jack shit. they were literally freebasing peds. back then, you could do a line of coke right before you chalk up your hands and nobody would be DQ.
The way Lu comes up after cleaning 200 is just ridiculous...looks like childs play. Quad strength of peace and prosperity
we will see next years who is the champ
@@admyoussef6487 lyu has been dominating for so long now,he will be 36 in a few months.he has nothing left to prove.
@@blackeesh463 the golden medal the first the champ you right he has nothing until now and Mohamed too see you in the next year
@@admyoussef6487 li dayin next year. The king lu will sit and watch
@@dshiu89 The true kings are the Egyptians - witness, learn, and die in silence, O Chinese
we shall see
Lu is almost 35 years old. I doubt I can even squat what he snatches at 35 years old what the hell
He's a legend and uses a technique that doesn't wear and tear his joints. I really like his way of snatching, his feet don't leave the ground, it looks a lot softer on the knees. The same goes for his clean and squat jerk.
You are absolutely right and so can't most of us here 😂
Or he can snatch more than most people deadlift
OG never die, just fade away
If you wanna talk about age, look at Jen Thompson's bench
Those gold Anta's are so saucy
Lu has his own brand now, orange anta with Lu's logo is hot!!
That is when you interact, as a Supporter, with each muscle of your body, from toe to jaw muscle. Lu's confidence and attitude is exemplary. Ihab's power and hunger for glory should have let him achieving golden medal at Tokyo. I am feeling with deep sorrow and anger that he missed the participation in Tokyo.
Lu is an old man now, I think he’s a bit tired of winning all the time
He looks young af lmao
we will see next years who is champ
Chinese Nationalist lol this guy on every comment.
The old man has broken two world records today with an injured back
Old man? He's a legend and going strong wtf
انا مصرى وابويا مصرى تسلم يا بطل رفعت راس مصر والعرب
Ehab has a mesmerizing snatch technique but Lu’s clean is just immaculate. Almost effortless
Lu stands up from those cleans so fast!!! Literally zero hesitation
بطل يا محمد تحية لك من البحرين رفعت راس العرب
Man this guy Mohamed Ehab is an absolute beast. Gotta keep an eye on him
Watching a lot of the Chinese lifters in their clean, they just stand up like nothing is there. It's just a thing of beauty. So smooth with everything.
Another thing, this battle was made all the more epic by all the contrasts. Ehab and just power and yells and split jerk. Lu with just smooth movements and not much emotion plus squat jerk. So epic. Loved it! Great video IWF! Let's see some more like this.
yelling consumes too much energy, it's unnecessary
@@tuxmode lol learn bio. Yelling definitely works both from a psychological standpoint and even physiologically
@@aphroditesaphrodisiac3272 Yeah Shi yells louder than anyone is the most dominant guy equal to Lasha/Ilya where people just fight for silver
"It's just a thing of beauty" i was thinking the same.
I think in China they teach a different technique. They don't jump and step heavily on the floor when catch the bar, instead they "slide out", or like Lu and Shi they just lift their heel very quickly and put down. It is said this technique is better for stability and reduce the impact on the joints, which could also be a reason why Chinese weightlifter can still perform nicely at even their 30s.
I got elbow pain watching these monsters! Insane
مشاء الله لاقوة إلا بالله
أخوك من الجزائر متمنيلك كل التألق والتوفيق❤️
Love this sport, LYU is so funny in the last trial, he is the GOAT. Ehab is a warrior, respect.
Respect to Lu
But such explosive power from Ehab lift a world record as his 1st appearance in this weight
you know that he was banned for steroids the following year and likely yoked in this competition
@@rkim1991 you really thing lu or the other athletes are not juicing?! Come on, every single one of them is on stuff.
@@j_nl7689 That's for sure, but beyond that (taking this video as an example), he used belts, double knee and wrist straps, and a tight suit. Lyu instead had the classic bands that help less than those Mohamed had as a second cover, the suit seemed a little less tight (at least in the leg area it seemed to me) and without the use of a belt. Thats triggered me so much even though there is actually no rule that prohibits these "tricks". So in this case Mohamed was extremely advantaged.
@@imfireeSeed dude if Lu would lift more with these he would use it too. Its fair game
ربنا يكرمك يارب ويزيدك ياابن بلدي محب للعراق
Thank you so much for this incredible video. cranked the sound and felt like I was at the movies :D
what is the name of epic soundtrack at 9:20 ?
Raise hand if you are here to see Lv's adorable final attempt.
ps: huge applauds for both of the lifters, well played.
Mad respect for both of them. Great Athletes
Amazing athletes, props to all the athletes around the world and much respect to you all

Usually the winner gets the highest snatch and the highest clean & jerk. Lyu didn’t win either event, but he still won the competition.

2021 another gold
Fist of all, this is very impressive! Secondly ..one of the commentators sounds like Peter Griffin. Awesome all around.
Love xiaojun's setup for both lifts. He walks, sits in a second and do whatever it takes.
هذا فخر ونعتز به 🇵🇸🇵🇸😍✌
Love how Mohamed bowed down to Allah out of submission and gratitude even when he failed the last one. We are all below the almighty and should never forget his blessings.
If I made those lifts I would be roaring so much louder than these two did haha. Outstanding athletes.
nice to see real athletes - no roids - just pure skills - pure strenght - and hard work.
You need the time machine , and replace in the past. No roids, no results, just boring.
U are crazy thinking they are not on roids
@@bouberhanemohamed490 Just because you need it doesn't mean others do. Lmfao
I do not use roids and honestly into my fisrt year of lifting my main focus is powerlifting and am pretty shitty but the progress these guys acheive at sucj a young age i ridiculous espacialy with that kind of bodyweight and as far as i know every pro lifter uses some sort of peds's if ur wondering i have a 120kg squat and a 160kg deadlift and 100kg bench
Mohamed Bouberhane Do oly and just try to stay consistent. You’ll get your most gains your first year.
Lyu’s cleans move like a hot knife through butter
Mohamed Ehab 🇪🇬🇪🇬 thanks for making us proud ❤️❤️
Lu Xiaojun had just C & J my deadlift.. and it makes me happy..
because in 2017 I can barely deadlift his snatch
😭
Just lol at the effortless way Liu stands up after the clean, he makes you think he's gonna thruster the weight.
This was cool and all, but Li Dayin immediately put up 375 at the IWF World Cup the next February
Magistral, excelente video
Keep going mo we love u ❤💔
respect for all of the warriors
Are we just gonna sit and ignore Li 👀 But man this battle is one for the ages. LXJ forever 💯
Epic Battle. Respects to both Athletes. Lu Xiaojun fan btw
I thought the title said: 'Battle of Asgard'.. 😢😢 -On your left
Very sad for Ehab really. He was great. I could not understand how his last attempt was not counted
it was not valid since at no time could he remain still, although he kept the bar above his head, he did not show "control" with the weight
agree but what he say always before he start i understand "...allah..." beut before ???

فخر العرب مره واحده ههههه
I'm new to weightlifting and have a question:
I noticed when Lyu does his c&j, he jerks similarly to a snatch where he keeps his feet shoulder width apart and squats down and back up. Everyone else I've seen does it where they jerk into a stance with their lead foot forward and then they stand up.
To a newbie like me it seems like more work to do it the way Lyu does. Why would an athlete choose to do it that way?
Yeah, people usually discourages teaching newer weightlifters a squat jerk because in theory you can lift more weight, but it is a lot harder a minor error can mess you up. Lu probably chose to do it because it works for him and the split probably never worked out for him.
Lyu's first clean was so effin smooth! Hardly made a sound!
The Chinese typically don't do the jump stomp. They just fall. It's very elegant
