[@samuelhara4874]

This guy is unreal! Like a machine

[@MrElectrifyingVideos]

Would love to see this guys in a random "Bodybuilder Gym" in america doing 260kg squats with reps 😂

[@aliedil5415]

i disagree with this statement

[@thechosenone93]

Why involve bodybuilders or what they think in this? You sound like you’re secretly hating on bodybuilders

[@madworld109]

Why would he waste time doing that?

[@komaddog]

Dumb comment. Two different sports.

[@navskygupta5311]

magical strength

[@haroonkhan8179]

Respect

[@gabrielegiudicigg]

By far the strongest in the game

[@JundRaptor]

He's got one of the best looking squats I've ever seen. It's such a shame that his upper body can't match his crazy leg strength.

[@benchgoblin]

Why is it such a shame, are they adding strict press back to the sport or something?

[@felixr1306]

​​@@benchgoblinyou need some uperbody strength to catch/stabilize/hold the bar overhead. Tao is clearly struggling with that seeing how often he misses and how big his discrepancy is between his clean (max) and his jerk (max).

[@tbrtw9789]

​@@benchgoblinI believe it's more of a balance rather than a strength issue, but he's constantly missing snatches and jerks he should have made due to upper body instability.

[@felixr1306]

​@@tbrtw9789He could probably compensate for small timing/balance issues better with more uperbody strength also

[@benchgoblin]

@@felixr1306 tian’s wrists are larger than your entire neck, I wouldn’t start throwing around the term struggling

티안타오, 내 워너비 ㅜㅜ 진짜 원탑이상형 1티어임 ㅜㅜ 형아

[@SwitcherLittlebW]

Why is he standing on top of plates for the front rack holds? Is it to force him to be on the middle of the foot?

[@asherxs]

Gives him more height to prevent the bar from hitting the rack when dipping

[@rundown132]

g2k, ty@@asherxs

[@tonkizz1867]

Hes such a cutie patootie

[@dillons4986]

Is his shoes different that the anta 1?

[@user-ji5gp8nv7w]

Oh.

[@kumbackquatsta]

jesus god damn christ!

[@5hydroxyT]

those 110 pound jumps...that would give me exactly one warm up before my max set😆

[@IhorKramarenko]

Chinese have to admit that squat jerk doesn't work.

[@jglg7238]

so lu xiajun squat jerk doesn't work? i don't understand your sentence

[@guswilliams9603]

Tian Tao doesn’t even squat jerk, he power jerks.

[@IhorKramarenko]

@@jglg7238 it will work anyway you choose. With one foot, one arm but. If u want to lift as much as your body able, than squat jerk is bad idea. Sometimes it's enough to lift more than others can. But that means, that other athletes weaker. Squat jerk requires enormous effort to keep balance, it requires more than perfect technique. And for what? At that phase it's not a question will you stand up if catch a bar. 99% you will. And with squat jerk, it's not 99% sure you can catch the balance. They started very long time ago. When it was, probably politically important to have different approach, and be the best with it. And they still have those coaches. But about 5-10 years ago everything has changed for those who don't afraid to use modern tools to learn, to improve. With so many slow mo shots, environment, proven methods no more secrets left. And in the end, in jerk everything comes to one thing, solid balance position. And with squat jerk it is so hard to achieve. Because bar has frontal range of motion, and squat jerk has no support in this dimension. So, for Lu the problem not that squat jerk works better, they just don't train split jerk, so when you try, of course it's unusual and uncomfortable to give everything you have. But believe me, or u will witness yourself, next generation of Chinese will switch to split jerk

[@IhorKramarenko]

@@guswilliams9603 where is your tian Tao now? Sometimes he wins, but he failed so many times, and it's has correlation to unstable squat jerk.

[@guswilliams9603]

@@IhorKramarenko He’s not “my” Tian Tao lol I’m not Chinese. I’m just saying, he doesn’t squat jerk, he power jerks.
