How Mr TooMuchMuscle Trains

Take a look at how world champion and world record holder (across two categories) Li Dayin trains one week out from competition. How does he taper? What exercises does he perform and why? This training session from Li Dayin comes exactly seven days out from the 2023 Asian Weightlifting Championships where he snatched a world record 180kg, clean and jerked 216kg for a world record total of 396kg.

His 150 power clean is trending dangerously close to a muscle clean 😅

what is the difference. What even is a muscle clean

[@coinrush1]

caught with no leg bend (so completely stood up)

[@crocdog5278]

@@coinrush1 thanks

[@benzina7]

He is dangerously muscular and dangerously clean I would say. In the end his nickname says it all......

[@EmorettaRobinson]

The fact that his definition in his back is just as good as the definition in his front (abs and chest) is wild!

[@ultraL2]

Weightlifting works your back more much more

[@maxpowers4436]

Do you mean defined as in lean? Then sure but most oly lifters chests are underdeveloped because they dont train them and his is too. Especially compared to his shoulders and back.

[@EmorettaRobinson]

@@maxpowers4436 I mean defined as in when you're able to see that someone's abs are defined because they have a six pack. It's almost like he has abs on his back. The description is odd for me to make. Especially since I've learned (from something that a personal trainer told me) that your core is from under your chest to your hips in the front. But also includes your lower back and glutes. So to build a strong core you should not only do exercises for the abs but the back and the glutes as well. Also I'm relatively new to weightlifting. I think they all have incredibly strong looking, defined and remarkable physiques. The more that I learn about the sport the more intrigued I am.

[@KeterMalkuth]

@@maxpowers4436 Depends on what you consider "Underdeveloped." For most of human history, the most powerful men had chests very similar to weightlifters. Really, most people would be better off with less chest work, to keep their shoulders more mobile.

[@KeterMalkuth]

@@EmorettaRobinson Remember that 70% of the muscle mass in your body is on your posterior side. For a healthy, balanced physique, the vast majority of your work should probably be focused on your back. Though, like you said, core work is just as important, arguably more so. However, many people underestimate how much core work they need to do and how many core muscles they need to train. Train your transverse abdominis by doing core work while holding a vacuum, train your rectus abdominis through a range of motion rather than just isometric holds, do cable rotations or similar exercises for obliques, do side bends for your psoas, do jefferson curls for your spinal erectors. Remember that lats contribute to spinal stability, and activating them will help maintain a solid foundation for any lift. Lots of things to put work into, lots of things to improve even when you feel yourself hitting a plateau on any given movement.

[@kotytoonz1628]

A question Seb does not ask because everyone already knows the answer... If Tian makes the 222 on 2nd attempt, would he go 232 for 3rd?

[@fasman4835]

Can u pls do a video on how they stretch and warmup their joints prior to bar warmups?

[@Iremand]

I know this isn’t exactly what you asked for(not quite a stretch) but I use the erg(rowing machine) for all my warmups. Intensity will vary with your cardio and comfortability but it really gets my body and blood moving.( I usually do 100 calories per erg set, like I said intensity will vary).

[@Iremand]

I can’t imagine this will take you any more than 10 minutes, let me know if you are curious about anything

[@PacmanLickThisGuysAs]

[@jessfrankel5212]

When he racks the weight after the clean, his left elbow is quivering. Not his right. IDK if that's just how he is, a symptom of overtraining slightly, or a quirk...or nothing at all. Whatever the case, Li Dayin is one amazing lifter!

[@cypzlth]

I asked weightlifting AI to program me something similar and it prescribed me top secret team China PEDs. 😳

[@gustavoivo3555]

I find those videos funny, cause training it's not one, ten, fifty sessions. Training are years. And what is china team perspective on periodization/ tapering/ detraining/ strategies? How do they know what is working? Are they monitoring fatigue? Assessing specific deficits on muscle recruitment, velocity or strenght? And here we are just watching and hypothetyzing for things that may be irrelevant , cause we don't know. You are so close to those athletes, don't no one from coaching / recovery talk or explain whats happening?

[@siriushuang9402]

I used to be instructing some of the sport scientist working for China Weightlifting, I could disclose something to answer your questions. They have strict periodization, including strict tapering protocols. Programs are designed individually by experts from multiple countries. They monitor fatigue closely, last I know they spent millions of usd equivalent on sport science every year. The gym they train at in China is prabably the best in the world. They also have strict physical testing as well. They used VBT extensively. But from my perspective the size of the pool of talents is key to success. You just cant imagine how many kids are training weightlifting properly in China.

[@MrKittke]

he would have made it

[@itzsebao_o9805]

Can we say that li dayin has slightly long legs in relation to his torso? compared to most chinese lifters. Sorry for my ass english lol

[@Juxtaposed1Nmotion]

has anyone noticed his arm bend in the first pull? I noticed i was doing this yesterday in my snatch pulls, and it was leading to bar bangs, but I see here that Li Dayin initiates an arm bend in the first pull of his clean to get it into a better position for hip contact. Has anyone talked about? Maybe even here on WLH?

[@horizonforevergold]

They can do it because of the ridiculous strength reserve. Good technique it is not, very bad for power production.

[@Juxtaposed1Nmotion]

@@horizonforevergoldso they are literally partially rowing 150+ kg? and i dont buy its not good technique, these guys are literally the best. its a technique, and its done by some of the best lifters. no im not saying im going to emulate it, but there nothing to be gained by saying its "not good technique" its literally the best technique, they hold the records lol

[@horizonforevergold]

@@Juxtaposed1Nmotion it's as efficient as pulling a car without getting slack out of the rope first. And weightlifting is still a strength sport first, the best technique doesn't win automatically...

[@Juxtaposed1Nmotion]

@@horizonforevergold fair enough, we can't ignore being strong is part of their technique, reaffirming your initial post.
