[@alfredmorganroth9349]

Zhe was robbed, they passed many lifts this past week that were the same or worse . There is no consistency in refereeing and judging.

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

Yup, that was bullcrap.

[@RetreatHell518]

Iranian literally does the same and gets a good lift? Bullshit it is.

[@BernhardKohli]

Totally agree! Who cares, anyway, if an elbow wobbles... knees wobble, legs and feet shift, back angles and catch heights are different, etc. Do proper drug testing but count a lift as a lift...

[@AfferbeckBeats]

They also turned down a bunch of lifts at the same level of movement too. Not to mention the constant jury stops, and pointless challenge cards. So much unprofessional management at this championships. In this session, there was like 5 straight minutes of nothing happening, some confusion about lifter order and weight change. Mochida was setting up on the bar about to lift when they pulled him off because Ghadami was supposed to go, so Ghadami goes up. Then he gets pulled off, then sent back up again! Both lifters missed their next attempts, how much of that was because they were so thrown out by the disruption?

[@theRaw6]

they're human, not robot, so they can not see some mistake, it's the same for all sport

[@whatever77054]

Today, a slight elbow wobble took away Yang's 222. In retrospect, he needed a 228 to move up to silver and 229 to gold (because he would reach it before Ruslan) ASSUMING that Ruslan and the other guy maxed out, which is not a safe assumption at all. I don't think he could have done either even with proper rest. So it sucked, but it didn't do any real damage to him; he's firmly third. On the other hand, in 2018 he basically picked up a gold snatch medal because Simon Martirosyan got robbed like Yang was today, so it's all a part of the game apparently. And yes, I totally agree that the press-out rule needs to go to hell because it is ruining weightlifting.

[@rogdog5047]

Please do these for every competition you can. Hugely entertaining and a great overall view of the sport. Very much appreciated!

How do you allow Ghadami Kia’s “press out” but not Yang Zhe’s? The inconsistency of this rule makes the IWF and the sport as a whole look so unprofessional and unsophisticated.

I don't understand how Nurudinov holds 240 above his head with baby arms

[@vladimirepifanov6927]

It's not about size. 99%+ bodybuilders with much bigger arms would not hold even 200.

[@toximan2008]

Strength training is more about accommodating your nervous system to be able to tolerate load. It's less to do with musculature, and more to do with how your nerves adapt to a training stimulus. It's almost like trying to learn how to play an instrument or do a stunt on a bicycle. You don't need to be jacked to do those things, but you're training your brain's ability to fire neurons in a specific sequence and then refining that pathway over time.

[@fmls8266]

He has a perfect lock, so most of the weight is not supported by his muscles.

What's the justification for the no press out rule?

[@MaestroJericho]

I think these 3 are the ones to go for 109s. Yang and Ruslan can break the snatch and CJ records but looks lie Djuraev is capable of breaking both, and he's the youngest one. Not sure if Armnau is coming back again and I assume Simon is out since I read about his incident.

[@samuelmassicotte9645]

Yhang Zhe losing his lift is so unfair

[@Nikos150]

I’m new to weightlifting, and I don’t know a lot about the sport, but if the elbow slightly bent, it doesn't count? I don't know it seems a bit too strict. Does it give the competitors a huge advantage or even a kilo advantage?

[@SgawCules]

Honestly, it's dumb as fuck, the lifters clearly gets the weight up and with great form, and because of a tiny ass wobbly of the elbow, it's considered a no lift.

Yes, getting that stupid amount of weigth over your head and being called for no lift Is trash, the iranian lifter did a terrible lift but that one counted theres no logic, btw yang zhe needs to improve a lot his C&J, he has a Titanic Snatch but not Even a top 5 c&j

[@fmls8266]

Nah it's not stupid, there is a reason. If you take out that rule people will attempt super dangerous presses. That's also the main reason why the clean&press was removed, too dangerous and almost impossible to judge it.

[@jonmolina948]

Sometimes the elbow just buckles when when it gets extended or hyperextended so violently. It’s reflex your body does to protect the joint, not really a press out at all.

The jury call on Yang Zhe's second clean and jerk was legit bullshit. Juries at least in the last decades while giving white lights to obvious pressouts at the same time have given red lights to perfectly executed lifts. No fucking consistency. Like the Iranian that lifted right after him could be easily handed 2 red lights for wobbly elbows hence slight pressout. Just dumb. Just get rid of this stupid rule already.
