[@barryodonovan3809]

love the way they are all going heavy and then LU is just tipping away with a light weight drilling technique!!

[@grimmister]

Probably because he starts about last in the competition, wouldn't be smart to warm-up too early :)

[@Truckingsx]

lu xiaojun still is the pound for pound strongest human. he's superhero

[@mk-19memelauncher65]

brucelee

[@gazelleonwheels]

Actually. I'm pretty sure that would be Naim Suleymanoglu. But Lu is still a beast.

[@Dr.WhetFarts]

naim is deaadd

[@stephenragan2368]

​@@gazelleonwheels right now om yun chol is clean and jerking 3x bw. naim's best competition is best sinclair ever

[@sabertoothwallaby2937]

Not strongest, maybe most powerful

[@stayingshredded]

Lu makes his snatches look so effortless. Smooth like butter.

[@taniaiiga]

I never get tired of watching these guys. Strict and pure beautiful form

[@SherifOsamaMusic]

Extremely proud of Mohamed Ehab making us Egyptians proud in the world of Olympic weightlifting, good luck champ!

[@imSACCO]

3:46 that stabilization was pretty sick

[@ErikfromEarth]

3:35 I love how Mohamed still had the courtesy to not walk in front of Lu until he started to stand back up even at a "light" weight. I've always imagined that athletes at that level mean mug each other in the warm-up room haha.

[@ejfields7666]

Ehab is a true sportsman. He’s one of those competitors that can channel his aggression at the right time, and at other times just look happy for the opportunity to compete at this level.

[@danielhenderson762]

It would be incredibly rude to ignore other athletes in the warm up area.

[@thomasbevelock1425]

I love that these lifters are all so good... but Lu is still muscle snatching while others are hitting final warm ups...

[@WeebKilla95]

Love seeing top level athletes work with just the bar. If the bar is good enough for them, it's good enough for everyone.

[@blacksmith3560]

china's coach is real life Kazuya from Tekken

[@kineticcystemz3802]

blacksmith3560 Hahaha... he's got the eye thing (devil Gene) going too

[@AfferbeckBeats]

Crazy to see Lu going up to 110 on muscle snatches and failing as his warmup. I guess he's so in synch with the movement that he needs to just get all his muscles firing more than he needs to get in the groove of actually snatching.

[@JorgeBordam1]

Love the intro music with the editing on all warm up and training videos, awesome.

[@tuptugen]

Ehab´s explosiveness is just out of this world. No one coming close.

[@wowDepressive]

lu is so gracious... i know its light but still

[@nickcoleman8911]

someone needed to hit up the aux with some fire

[@1Tawhiao]

haha yep

[@jgreen114]

Nick Coleman FACTS

[@lonewolf604]

Watching these guys train is like cutting butter. So satisfying....(no homo)

[@monsword]

Xiao Jun's snatch is undefeatable

[@jjollie4334]

Tell that to Ehab

[@andrewahn9483]

Lu is has such a beautiful snatch.

[@greencase]

You're mom snatch is beautiful too

[@SuperCoralli]

Coach Y.'s face @3:43 .... :O

[@debjitmukherjee4507]

The sound is awesome

[@achihabhalib7435]

HIs form is just so pleasant to watch

[@raphaelv.8225]

Me: if I don't jump I'm on my toes for the receiving Lu: barely jump, doesn't matter

[@mastersun188]

that mobility!

[@AW.SO.M3]

Watching Lu muscle snatch my pb lol

[@kozumplikivan]

Pika Lu is the best!

[@angelasarabia6613]

if you look closely at the Armenian guys elbows during his cj, you can tell that there's an impending doom.

[@lucozade8373]

Hyper Combo Finish what do you mean?

[@jekjekpalarin5317]

Luco Zade u remember the guy who dislocates his elbow last olympics? Thats him lol, cant believe hes back tho

[@molohov3875]

I wonder why Su Ying missed so many (seemingly) snatches, and then didn't bother with jerks??? My guesses: - Snatches weren't in the right overhead position so gave up (or didn't bother to stand them up), as well as enough reserve strength left to continue with further warmup attempts - Jerks are so easy for him that it's only the clean that matters. Food for thought. He's such a smooth lifter, I wonder why he hasn't been more successful. (EDIT: realized he went 1/3 in CJ, maybe a shoulder niggle which affected his overhead therefore not confident in snatches, and saving energy for jerk?)

[@Kaikojo]

My guess for why he doesn't complete the snatch is it may just be a drill/exercise. The technique is down if he can get into the hole of the snatch. Coming up is where a lot of energy is drained, so coaches may have told him to just catch the snatch, without squating it up. Not completely sure, your guess is as good as mine :-) I got nothing for the jerk tho. Shoulder issue would really explain both haha

[@justinchu5940]

It’s to save leg strength. The squating portion is the most taxing on the legs so they take it out completely during some mid- weight warm up reps

[@yashmodak4992]

「明確なメッセージ、明確な構造、理解しやすい、ありがとう」、

[@DrDre007100]

I heart ATG...!

[@andykyo32]

what was Lu's last warm up weight before his first attempt in clean and jerk? and how long before his first attempt of CJ?

[@Ckjohn77kg]

we wanted to know too...

[@TheBlackopsFann]

I would be that type of person to try world record just before I go in

[@henrjay]

Chinese lifter doesn't really “jump” up, there are different of technique being used

[@donjohn2239]

Not really. Jumping up is a crossfit wrongly taught technique.

[@Debrafeem]

Chinese team doesn't actively drop under the bar like the other athletes. They shift their feet and squat as opposed to slapping the floor and dropping under. Just different methods of catching the clean

[@sarminilidya9245]

0:13 👍👍

[@bretrogersweightlifting4008]

Thats the armenian guy whos arm snapped out in Rio

[@TheMitmit03]

I never understood why some Oly lifters jump during the snatch. It's not from extension they just jump for some reason

[@bigdaddybumpkin5759]

I was under the impression that you always jump?

[@shanecorrigan8524]

It’s an effort to get under the bar faster, they’re not truly jumping, they’re pulling their feet up after extension to drop down into a catch position

[@VanVu-uu3jl]

Power comes from the feet

[@JoseAngelCorona8]

Dat Depth Doe @ 3:36

[@fgzeq]

nice music bro!!

[@ImTraumaV3]

Music?

[@patmaloney5735]

115. Twisted posture? Tight glutes? Or torso?

[@MrLimo217]

Fxckam, these are athletes the 1% top dogs, crazy

[@kalesare]

notice how none of the chinese lifters stomp their feet like the other nations do. grace and technique yields multiplicable power.

[@ppsh41dude]

Different styles. The chinese are all ab control and being smooth. Whereas on the other Egypt is just pure power and explosiveness. Both work and both have produced champions.

[@ppsh41dude]

+Alex Yao *hand

[@Kaikojo]

It is indeed two different styles. The "stomping" is a jump. Many lifters believe that jumping is the correct way, while many also believe it should be a slide. The technique is pretty difficult for both, I don't think one is more technically difficult than the other. Will not deny that Chinese lifters all have their technique down to a t, but so do most of the lifters at the World Weightlifting Championships. "Stomping" does not mean that these competitors have bad technique. Many of the lifters who utilize the jump have trained for years to perfect that technique.

[@Jelle97S]

I noticed, and I dont know what to do with it. I get told by my coach I should use that "Jump" in my lifts, but I prefer not jumping. Do you know the best technique?

[@tbnaeem93]

Jeffrey Kim I think it takes quite a bit of grace and technique to jump and land with 140+ kg held above your head and not crush yourself

[@Yiazmat717]

any idea why Lu stands up halfway for some repetitions and then bails? 🤔

[@antonmartensson4635]

How long before the competition starts do the guys start warming up/stretching?

[@AfferbeckBeats]

+Anton Mårtensson It depends on when they'll be lifting. The weaker guys who lift first will start warming up 20 or 30 minutes before the stronger guys who will lift long after they are finished.

[@KPcpt]

How about that technique at 5:40?? 🤔👌💪

[@ngtilui]

I always wondered would they be able to lift heavier if they warm up less or lighter weights? Their warm ups already more than my max. Lol

[@dantealighieri9251]

They are jumping?

[@jhoanhurtado4887]

Mohamed ehab why Lycra is changed to the clean & jerk?

[@garrycharmer]

What's Moradi doing here 2:05?

[@ppsh41dude]

The Armenian lifter looks a lot like Candito if I say so myself

[@thecrystaltide3757]

3:04 when everyone else is near their opener weight and Lu's still fuckin around with 90kg muscle snatch smh

[@kineticcystemz3802]

The guy for Team Armenia at 3:19, also partook in the junior world's in June 2015?

[@marianozirr9172]

I'm

[@kingofcha00]

its the quiet one u gotta watch out for lol

[@TheBardeng]

What did Moradi lift in the competition?

[@nartubehd2648]

Hayer kan ?

[@Pukapikaable]

Lu wasn't feeling great =( Kinda explain why he fuked up

[@MsSamxxxx]

+ty brown I believe someone fucked up the order by switching weights so he was rushed

[@damiannowak9800]

[@bondrewd9559]

Bald Lu = Saitama

[@TheGrinchoverin]

[@graywolf9923]

[@CB7F22a]

[@AhmedMohmed-uz7yd]
