28:50 look at Lyu, he is sooooo happy for this young kid

[@TheWill0fStrength]

Lu xiaojun does this without a belt is beyond my understanding

[@boahnation9932]

His core is STRONG

[@dacymark1688]

Well I guess boah answered you .. a belt doesn't add that much weight to the bar .. at best it's only 10-30 pounds , So if your core is strong and we'll trained you won't need one plus not wearing a belt means you're not going to the fullest of your strength which helps preventing injuries

[@TheWill0fStrength]

[@dacymark1688]

@@TheWill0fStrength Brian alsruhe . How to build your core .. start from there then we'll talk

[@paomndz8336]

@@TheWill0fStrength your core develops as you progress with your compound lifts. Since Lu has been doing this from a very young age, its developed af. Plus, weightlifting belt generally just compresses the lower erectors (take alook at lasha and his belt, placed unddr his tummy) and is typically softer as compared to powerlifting belts. Powerlifting belts are the ones that can basically add weight to ur max.

Ehab, truly an impressive athlete.

[@marioradovcic7419]

Who are these commentators? While Russian and generally eastern European weightlifting commentary is generally on point, over the years most of the English language commentary I've heard was absolute garbage (mostly due to "borrowed" commentators from other sports). These guys, on the other hand, are pretty spot on with technical observations and light banter.

[@joe718gt4]

The one with the New York accent is Sean Waxman, considered one of the better coaches from the US... Runs Waxman's Gym around Los Angeles, CA. Not sure about the other two. They all also did the ESPN commentary for World's in 2017 as well

What in the crap is that 204kg power jerk from Li Dayin jesus christ 28:50

[@rhysharvey4779]

I couldn't believe that, he made the weight look so easy

[@g3nt00l1nux]

He was practicing for launching the Chinese Chang'e lunar probe out of Earth's gravitational influence in december

[@kevinvandenberg5548]

@@g3nt00l1nux that cracked me up too much haha

[@trtnec]

with the ease of his jerks, Dayin could've maybe taken gold (or at least silver) in this event if he really wanted, but it seemed like more of a "respect for elders" type of thing going on. And then Lu said "ok you let me have gold in total? I'll give you gold in clean and jerk".

[@winterw938]

easy should press with 200kg

[@yanglinluo]

Gotta love Li' power jerk dang! And Lu's 3rd c and jerk attempt 😂🇨🇳💪🏻

[@TheChukso]

I cannot believe how good Li's jerk is... like, he doesn't even look like he is struggling... fucking amazing

[@garychen1765]

If ehab's 203 c&j doesnt count here. How did they count Rahimov's 214 c&j at rio? Watch the replay from rio, Rahimov was never in control of the weight. Ehab here ,although not completely stable, was still more in control of the weight than Rahimov's at rio.

[@S98Olsen]

agreed it's BS

[@akbarjorayev4032]

Jo'rayev Akbar

[@steve19841117]

because the Rio dont want the chinese get the goldmetal

[@larryboi2706]

because judges are human.

[@Roham4eva]

1. ehab was attempting a 1 kilo record, nijat attempted a 4 kilo record. and its not as if he did it with 3 consecutive lifts, he did it with one. with such heavy weights, the judges cant be completely strict and need to take in consideration the amount of pressure the athlete receives, whether its from the weight of the barbell, to the stress of the competition. 2. judges differ from one another. matter of fact, i consider the judges at rio the quintessential weightlifting judges due to their knowledge regarding when to give a down signal, a press out, etc. take in note that im an iranian saying that, you know the infamous tale about salimis pressout, i agree with their decision there too. 3. we shouldnt compare one competition to another, on two completely separate stages. those are the olympics and this is the world champions. disregarding that, whether you're biased towards ehab or not, you can't put the blame on rahimov for being given the down signal early. i know its just a comparison, but i reckon its a bit harsh. (p.s. im not a rahimov fanboy or anything, just sharing my own opinion, all love)

[@emp5352]

I think Liu just went like "Fuck it; I already got a medal anyway" to just straight up give up before the start of the first pull like that. It'd be really cool of him to have done that for Li out of respect, so that both of them could go home with a gold medal instead of just him.

[@aaronorrantia8263]

Everyone is looking at the squat and jerk parts of the lift. Does no one realize how much grip strength is needed at that weight to do a double overhand grip? Elite grip.

[@andreas49er]

Actually weightlifters have one of the most powerfull grips among sports but hookgrip makes all these very easy and quite necessary . Once you hookgrip with some chalk, the bar isnt going anywhere.

[@madworld109]

It's all hookgrip, so grip strength isn't really a factor

[@dennisnordlund902]

I have never seen anyone do a oly lift without double overhand grip. This is not PL.
