[@snakepham]

One of my favorite Olympic weightlifter is retiring, Tian Tao... :(

[@AurensYT]

I thought he was just sitting out Tokyo.

[@pepehands8224]

@Jewleein Fletchur He said on social media that he was tired and is taking an extended hiatus.

[@0077viewtube]

If by some chance he ever travels internationally to offer training (like Oleksey Torokhtiy does) then sign me up !! He will always be a hero

[@christianwijaya6906]

We will miss the Number 1 Cleaner :(

What are you trying to do to me man, losing mr heart attack has made my heart break.

[@jancerny6665]

just why he is 27 and still progressing if he woudl give more time for recovery he could have still win quiet a few

[@snakepham]

@85 he could, but not 96

[@jancerny6665]

@@snakepham well i would argue that only real threats are meso and the brazilien kid (don t know name). Sohrab is done, plieston and canadien kid are good but not this good...taking silver or bronz in one of the most competitive categories is still great it s a shame that 85 is no more :/ he was exceling there

[@TheAltSoul]

Anyone know the music for the second half of the intro?

[@eliascontreras1951]

How do chinese weightlifters train glutes? Can you do a video on that

[@nickbuckingham9291]

Goodmornings

[@22ImHuge22]

@@eliascontreras1951 good mornings, done correctly, are most for your hamstrings, then glutes, then lower back.

[@eliascontreras1951]

@@22ImHuge22 oh ok, how can i avoid getting my back hurt when i do them wirh heavy weight

[@22ImHuge22]

@@eliascontreras1951 Staying tight, going more for volume than weight until you handle heavier weights, making sure the weight is centralized on your center of gravity. So in turn, you'll be pushing your hips wayyyyyyyyyy back fully activating your posterior chain. Or simply, do other options like atg squatting will help glutes, glute ham raise is more specific, nordic curls(more hamstring but you can contract the glutes well)

[@Aiden550]

Is he clean

[@rufushomanen5735]

Lol

[@pepehands8224]

Who else is here after hearing that Tian Tao got cut from the Chinese national team?

[@rustyshackleford8473]

He didn't get cut, he just didn't get selected as one of the four male athletes that could go to the Olympics. He announced his decision to retire after he competes in the Chinese Nationals in the Fall. He's technically still on the National team until then.

[@DontStandForNothing]

Lol, misses 175kg snatch, then voluntarily goes for 210kg snatch-jerk... wtf these Chinese coaches won't deviate! 🤪

[@DontStandForNothing]

That 226kg at 24y/o is disgusting tho 😲 😱
