[@colesonfire3967]

after i saw the long thumb nails i couldnt get over it and was looking for them every shot afterwards

[@skwushyskwush4748]

Before I watch I have to say I was literally just watching the video of him before world's in Anaheim

[@ke3285]

Tian, rostami, and arley for 2020!!

[@Sepander]

That would be epic. Throw Okulov and Pielishenko in the mix too.

[@TheSkatingreptile]

Rostami moving up a weight class, Pieleshenko banned, only one Russian and Kazakhstani male lifter allowed in 2020. :(

[@Al3x4nd3er]

YES

[@Sean-zz2lj]

How the fuck can anyone at 85 kg power snatch 140kg? Elite Weightlifters are ridiculous they make the weight look fake

[@rajinfootonchuriquen]

Grande Arley

[@fernaluciful]

Es una lástima que las lesiones no le permitieran mostrar todo su poder y estar en el podium de Tokio, ojalá busque otros médicos y se pueda recuperar.

[@Luis-ln7ob]

Que se vaya a competir por Cuba

[@sebabarzua7]

[@barnik5929]

CANSERBEROOO

[@dickpiano1802]

What’s with the long fingernails at 1:58?

[@bestofcrysis]

I heard that it's for getting a betterr grip onto the bar with hookgrip once it's wrapped

[@AR-rk9nn]

Muscle games jesus

[@APatriarca1]

Yeah really, what's with the long thumb nails

[@carlosanguita9778]

lu has them also long, it has to be with the hookgrip (to be able to grip the thumb with 3 fingers)

[@arpussupra]

It makes the hookgrip less painful. Speaking from experience.

[@TheJHrevolution]

#thiccboiz

[@turkishdelight6032]

Aren’t his shoes supposed to be exclusive to the Chinese nat’l team? Or maybe he traded with one of them

[@throwthejavelin368]

Why do they put tape on the bar?

[@Simon-cr5ff]

throwthejavelin368 to protect their pants and/or legs.

[@narayankannan9679]

Arly doesn't appear much consistently at global events

[@nikomenares237]

Deberías haberte venido a España y haber logrado con la madre patria tus mejores logros, habrías ganado mil veces más dinero, y vivido, mil millones de veces mejor que en chile

[@Luis-ln7ob]

Ojalá hubiera sido así... En Chile no queremos caribeños.
