first time I've seen this man go 6/6

[@durrantmiller8810]

This was before he hurt his elbow. Had that never happened I think he would be more consistent.

[@monsword]

Wuhan is Tian’s hometown and the province of Hubei is famous for having trained many elite weightlifters and gymnastic athletes. God bless the city and people there.

@@frankperez8655 nope, not the origin of covid-19. look up ron unz's article "Did a Chinese Lab-Leak Kill Twenty Million People?" It's yet another western attack against china and the chinese people. God bless the people of wuhan, the people of Hubei and the people of China - the west will go the way of the mongols, gokturks, xianbei, xiongnu before them.

Pfff... 6 for 6. How boring! On a more serious note, Tian was a beast at 77kg became a bigger beast at 85kg and he is now a monster at 96kg. Amazing lifter.

ok go and get on the gear and put up the same numbers then for your weight class lol

[@yellowpanda738]

Not to disrespect him or anything but in only 10 years he only added 20kg on his snatch whilst weighting 20kg more in bodyweight? Like..... he peaked when he was 17. He is more impressive here than anywhere else. Why do Chinese lifters peak so early. They suck without steroids. In this case its ALL steroids

[@Niccciii]

The human body is only capable of so much.. Were you expecting weights to go up without stopping as if there's unlimited potential? Perhaps you'd like to demonstrate you doing better than the exact scenario that you portrayed. Also dont forget to roid up too lets see you put up numbers even close to theirs
