Mad props to the frenchman for not letting his ego get in the way

Shi Zhiyong owes a great respect to Liao Hui Bakk in 2010 Liao Hui was banned for 2 years because of doping violation then he Returned in a magnificent way confirming his Supremacy over Shi Zhiyong in the Chinese nationals in 2016 where he beat Shi Zhiyong to qualify for the Olympic Games in Rio And here come the politics: Because of his former doping ban the Chinese weightlifting federation decided Liao Hui not to be send to Rio They send instead 23yrs old Shi Zhiyong since his results were pretty close to that of the olympic champion from Beijing Liao Hui in Rio Shi Zhiyong won with a total of 352kg which gave him mUch recognition and mental power so the next year in the Chinese nationals in 2017 for the first time in his career Shi Zhiyong beat Liao Hui with a total of 358kg against 354 of Liao Hui, that day Shi Zhiyong made a significant performance and jerked 198 kg for a world record in 69 kg class Even after Shi Zhiyong gained 4 kg of muscles moving to 73 kg, he could not jerk more than this 198 kg

ShiZhiYong ever do more than 198kg CleanAndJerk but in nowadays -73kg class not at -69kg .But what I see from ShiZhiYong after in -73kg class ,His Snatch was improved much as he can 165kg+ Snatch .At -69kg ,He was difficult to Snatch around 160kg and at -73kg he do 160kg Snatch easier .At CleanAndJerk ,he was improved to as he easier to Clean even PowerClean 190kg at WorldChampionShip and his CleanAndJerk result was good too 👍

It's such a mentally demanding sport that you have to have 100% confidence in yourself before you lift it because the weight is so big it's daunting. A lot of time in comps you will see people lift it to about thigh level then just stop because their mind just psyches out partway through. That was probably a decent bit beyond what he'd ever done before and he must've realised his mind wasn't in the right space to attempt it so he backed out. Mental side is just as vital to succeeding.

[@muzimuzi]

whats the record for this kind of bodyweight?

[@theRaw6]

In 2008 it was 165 in the snatch and 197,5 in clean and jerk

[@InfinityX17]

He simply thought that he couldn't lift it so didn't attempt it. Lost faith in himself.
