I legit shed a tear when he made that retirement post. He is the only man in the world that can beat karlos nassar in the CJ.

[@benjamingrunberg7807]

He has a similar career to Klokov. Shoulder injury, retired at 30, 1 time world champion, 1 Olympic silver medal, amost same best competition Clean and Jerk (Klokov 232) but 10 kg lighter. One difference is that Klokov has no world records. He has inspired and motivated a lot of people like Klokov, including me. I used to watch Bradley Martyn in 2018 and one day there was a guy with a russian accent push pressing 200 in his gym. So I started watching Klokov videos on youtube and was hooked.

85 Tian is a beast

[@ayda2876]

21:39 Tian Tao is/was the best highbar squatter on the planet with Haack I think they are the only people I can think of who did sub 100kgs BW 320kgs highbar insane amount of strength and Tian is not even a powerlifter so his max would've probably been 330 or around there. Insane

[@ix_9_ix]

Tian is deeper and stricter, if he did it like haack he could get 330+ ez

[@jadoreheart]

just FYI, you said “Mr Tao”, his family name is Tian, so it’s “Mr Tian”

[@toon2792]

He has attempted a 236 C&J at 2018 worlds. Missed the jerk, but the clean was so smooth. Probably the best sub 100kg bw clean ever. Moradi cleaned 237 that comp, but it was a grind. I honestly wouldn’t have been surprised if he was able to clean 250 at some point, definitely well into the 240s.

[@HOCM102]

As the show progresses, more and more objects will gain googly eyes 👀. I can already see the microphone, in the upper right corner, being next. And then the antlers on the left.

[@emcarpenter5206]

If he is retiring for real this time I hope he goes full Klokov from here. It would be awesome to see him just push the clean and the squat especially since those are clearly the things he's best at. Idk about now but if 2019 Tian had a chance to train solely for the clean I think he'd have done at least 250, insane to think about for someone weighing under 100. He's easily one of if not the most impressive cleaner to ever live.

[@franciscovencedor1785]

apology for poor mandarin when were you when tian tao career was kill? i was squat at home eating soba noodle when chat ring 'tian tao retire' 'no'

[@BlindnessandInsight]

Thanks lads, love this. My all time favourite weightlifter, feels cold now he's gone

[@trtnec]

that 280 front squat was definitely when he was competing as an 85 - because he did another 280 at 96 and it looked like a feather.

[@omithehomi8568]

3:30 💀 bussy

[@BUMPER_PLATE_BANDIT]

I have deadlifted 230KG/507LBS many times now and everytime I just can’t understand how Tian Clean and Jerked! Its absolutely absurd

[@rainycypher1761]

mate no need for the annecdote just compliment thee guy, this feels like a back handed compliment

[@bobbyflaybobbyflay5065]

@@rainycypher1761his other comment was also the same where he felt the need to shit on powerlifters for no reason

[@BUMPER_PLATE_BANDIT]

@@rainycypher1761 how is this a backhanded compliment? Im saying hes out of this world in terms of strength i cant understand how he does it because hes so strong, wheres the negativity in that? Yall are reading it wrong tian tao is the reason I started weightlifting and I have nothing but praise for the legend.

[@BUMPER_PLATE_BANDIT]

@@bobbyflaybobbyflay5065 I didnt shit on them I just stated that they dont understand the difference in difficulty between hi bar and lowbar. While both are insanely strong a hi bar ATG squat with low profile knee sleeves is just another level. Than lowbar with the same weight

[@alanbejarano4940]

​@@rainycypher1761 he is complimenting Tian Tao by stating he can merely deadlift what Tian Tao can C&J, which is incredible.

[@jsuewrs135]

2 sets of eyes this time. I like it

[@fremantlebarbell]

Nice analogy about the spaghetti and the salt and pepper there

[@JAGValiant]

A prominent Chinese weightlifting coach once used Tian's lower back as a visual aid for bracing on social media. When I asked if it could have anything to do with his uniquely hyper-developed erectors, he said only looks that way due to Tian's bracing technique. 😂

[@drip369]

The thumbnail 😂😂

[@GeorgeWolfski]

His best power clean & jerk on camera is arguably his 205kg as an 85kg in competition💪🏋‍♂

[@hyogafeng4772]

that's 77kg when he was 17

[@GeorgeWolfski]

@@hyogafeng4772 I'm referring to his power clean & power jerk as an 85kg. He did a full clean and power jerk as a 77kg. You can find this lift by searching "TIAN Tao 205kg Power Clean (as an 85kg) | Before THICCCCCCC" (YT somehow doesn't let me paste links)

[@GeorgeWolfski]

@@hyogafeng4772 He full cleaned and power jerked 205kg at 17 as a 77kg. He power cleaned and power jerked 205kg as an 85kg in early 2018 before the new categories were announced.

[@aperson6505]

LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY 😢

[@petercrowley7880]

Artyom did 281 FS, as a 96 I believe?

[@fabiobonetta5454]

Oh yeah...

[@ayda2876]

On IG he said he would still compete?

[@PacmanLickThisGuysAs]

He will compete nationally in China but retire from international competition

[@ryantrotter9561]

big squats will always win

[@trtnec]

15:29, not his best power clean on camera. He power clean and jerked 205 in competition on camera

[@waferpie123]

What brand are the knee sleeves?

[@keldsports8337]

Chinese brand but Hook Grip has been selling the exact same ones for years. They keep your knees warm but don’t offer the same stiffness or support like the ones popular now like SBD. But they also don’t restrict movement like the newer stiffer ones.

[@cluistube]

Plant.
