How did I get inside Team China | Why did I start this channel | Team China Insider Special

[@yujiinagaki]

I can see you partnering with Weightlifting House - Seb might be delighted to get more international coverage in weightlifting.

I was actively following Lu's return training progression video series when it suddenly stopped, probably due to the doping accusations. The cancellation of that video series is about as criminal as when freaks and geeks was cancelled after only one season. I really wanted to continue to watch how Lu progressed. It was seriously one of the most epic training series I had ever seen aside from Ilya Ilyin's. :(

[@SquatJerkJournalist]

Actually that series stopped because I had to go back the U.K. to renew my residence permit, so I missed like 3 weeks of footage, but the team doctors and physios and Tian were nice enough to send me daily clips recorded on their phone😊

[@iamthebist]

@@SquatJerkJournalist Can't wait to see the series back again!!

[@wesleyshafer5378]

I would love to see a “day in the life” type of thing for the weightlifters. I think it would be cool to get a sneak peak on what it’s like to be Professional Weightlifter in China.

[@MrThymother]

Excited to see the content you'll be producing in the following months! Time to start pumping out fishing videos alongside weightlifting videos

[@AJHDC]

I like the "Chinese soft power" pitch, haha. Well done. As a mixed Chinese/American person I do think it's great for people to become fans of those in different cultures. I appreciate the inside look at the national team and the inspiration to train harder!

[@mors.101solis4]

The Tian Tao's fishing gear thing was hilarious and wholesome at the same time, appreciated the content. We all know how doping works nowadays, better days will come.

[@kutz206]

I actually love the mixture of content, between the training videos, what and how they eat while training, interviews, how they recover, how their training is structured, all that stuff. Almost "day in the life" style.

[@therealforestelf]

subtitled highlights of a fishing trip with Tian Tao aka CEO of Cleans and Shi Zhiyong aka CEO of C&J would be insanely cool, it has to happen some day I know it in my bones!

[@AznSoccer18]

Been missing you SJJ! Hope to see more of your videos in the future.

[@Tomoi811]

Stay strong brother 💪🏻 love your content as always

[@notsupremepatti272]

Great to hear from you again! Would it be possible for you to update is on past Chinese olympic champions and how they’re doing now? (E.g Lu yong, liao hui, etc.)

[@SquatJerkJournalist]

I’ve actually been trying to reach Liao Hui! Hopefully it will happen. Lu Yong is now the head coach of Guangxi team

[@Anthony-pln]

It's cool to get to know who's behind the camera. Your videos are great. Keep it up

[@EmorettaRobinson]

I wondered why this channel hadn't uploaded anything lately? This answered my questions. I'm glad that you made this video. I'm looking forward to seeing more content from you.

[@barrybaxter6051]

[@averagebohemian5791]

Good luck! Love your channel from Czech Republic!

[@micromashington]

Maybe you can start your own weightlifting career! We all appreciate everything you’ve done for the world wide weightlifting community. Best wishes and I can’t weight for your future videos man!

[@calumdryburgh7255]

Great content mate love the humour😂

[@oscarkusmirek7116]

excited to start watching more content. you are the reason I found out about weightlifting and got interested in it.

[@samj8932]

Glad you're gonna make more content. Best content in the game tbh

[@clintiacuone1703]

Would love to see more gigachad stuff if that’s potentially in the pipeline other than that pretty much everything and anything you’ve done has always been awesome and provided great insights so any extra stuff is bonus!

[@torch469]

U deserve a medal! A trophy ! U deserve to be in the hall of fame !

[@iamthebist]

Great video, loved that you gave context on how you ended up here. Your content is great, keep it up!

[@maria4880]

Aw man that sucks they dont let u post content 😢 watching ur videos (not only of lu but other atlhletes) was so fun! I hope they realize the potential to help the team and give the overseas fans what they want haha cheers !

[@kas3dot0]

I know Worlds is coming up so I can't wait to see more content from you. Hopefully we can get some lead-up videos and some behind the scenes training videos.

[@chuckrestuccia743]

Great to hear from you! How about more “check my form” with Tian Tao ! And where can we get those shoes in the USA? Thanks!

[@vincentd8734]

Amazing work keep it up!!

[@koreaface]

I don’t Know if when you said “you guys prefer the training videos” was a joke or not, but those interviews are the why you stand out.

[@vansonthewall8]

Thanks for the fab content all this time~ please do more reviews of amateurs lifting with Tian Tao!!! I would gladly submit mine to get absolutely roasted

[@SquatJerkJournalist]

Probably can’t do it with Tian, since I left the national team, will Lü Xiaojun do?

[@art_of_defying_gravity]

Interesting journey

[@pannonianfit1582]

[@zwryy7622]

CONTENT!

[@boeraneth5263]

Pretty sure everybody would love Lu teaching technique and programming. I know elite lifters don’t make the best teachers but I’d watch it.

[@ninno2244]

@squatjerkjournalist first thing u have a big support from Italy 🇮🇹 in your video u mentioned something about Anta cooperation! I’d like to ask u more about this subject! Price and send them in Italy Thx for your time From Italy 🇮🇹 with love

[@bananayogurt8002]

[@jcarpio9597]

idea for content: why not covering the china team women's weightlifting training session at the national training center from start to finish

The eating content is what got me. Yeah.

[@joey7432]

Is Luxiaojun barbell coming back to US? Need some cheap weights and barbells.

[@Ramboisme]

any chance you can propose to team China to have you handle overseas content making, and the douyin channel covering onshore? given offshore viewers dont have access to douyin, so they need an offshore content maker like yourself to project chinese weightlifting soft power!

[@SquatJerkJournalist]

That’s what I did at first, and they didn’t like it.

[@JearStar]
