[@mevert87]

240x4 front squat is INSANE. Can't believe he's still getting better.

[@az8677]

I know Tian's squats(both back and front) are legendary but it's always amazing to see how much stronger he is at a lighter body weight than Liu here.

[@PixelScience]

The craziest thing is gigachad is incredibly strong, 270 front squat is no joke But Tian is just different man

[@mysterylanex]

Tian is just a different kind of beast, unlike any other.

[@AnthonyGarcia-sy3yk]

Tian is an elite even among high-level olympic lifters.

[@TheMortalKombatent]

in all fairness, pushing squats when you can already do 300kg is unnecessary at best, and a hinderance at worst. (for non supers)

[@AnthonyGarcia-sy3yk]

@@TheMortalKombatent agree

[@timo184]

In terms of the squat this has to be prime Tian Tao. A set of 4 at 240 at -89 is nuts.

[@dillonsong5551]

Well he can do at least 7 reps of back squat at 270kg at 85kg bw so ..

[@timo184]

I think that was 6 reps, but front squat obviously is much harder to do for reps because our upper body simply starts collapsing after 2-3 reps@@dillonsong5551

[@bwalyamumba2139]

Tian has such godlike strength. His career may not have the medals his talents merits, but I’m glad anyone will be able to look back and see that this man is truly built different.

[@_bergflow]

getting real crafty on the setup for those back extensions.

[@FrancescoCorato-wd6ei]

Love this contents!!! Thank you so much

[@arkomitra9453]

Tian Tao is just built different 😮

[@thlee3]

one of the few sports where an athlete’s warm up and prep is just as exciting if not more than stage lift

[@yusronnaim]

gigachad looks FULL

[@fmls8266]

Even the coach has a sick fade lmao

[@GrandpaDon69]

Tian got 10 years younger with that cut 😂

[@Xainlrd]

Yeah I’m liking it

[@ASwass23]

7:04 the hype is real tian tao got the whole room watching

[@Mike-bt3ki]

What team is that in the background? South American? They're not wearing any national flags/colours.

[@HuiNie]

[@AlexandarShmex]

Just look at the man's back from 11:08 and on, never seen such development.

[@DavidLee-cw6ci]

Built himself a turtle shell

[@AndCaffeine]

Giant spinal erectors holy shit. Truly built different

[@SuperSilver316]

Dinosaur mode

[@levonschaftin3676]

that looks absolutely unreal. I've never seen a back look like that.

[@JL-ej3xu]

I noticed that too. His lower back is so thick and cut that it sort of became a new muscle group

[@nsebast]

I've never seen a man with tortoise shell back muscle at 11:05

[@asherxs]

Gigachad looking more like a 102 each day

[@keymaster2502]

THICC

[@FiveRings13]

Tian's form is amazing, same speed and posture from bar to 260.... hats off👌👌👌🔥

[@lugergold3163]

I've done 405lb Zercher power squats@198lb body weight in my youth, but these guys take it to another level with weightlifting front squats provided the weight is from the rack and perfectly resting on their clavicle. Not too much deviation coming off the hole. Insane levels of power!

[@Mike-bt3ki]

Liu Huanhua is listed at 6ft tall, and Tian Tao 5ft 7. They look close in height in this video, although I guess when you're squatting 200+kg the spine is compressed and the knees bent so maybe that's why they appear similar in height.

[@batataandshawarmalover]

Team China just MOGGs everybody.

[@tobyway5093]

Chinese trainers seem to be incredibly good

[@oblivionrj]

gigachad looking sharp

[@folkrap12]

Tian look like a ninja turtle with that back

[@energeia1877]

Never seen high level lifters backing (stepping backwards, instead of forwards) into the rack to unload. Anyone know the reason for this?

[@SpiritintheSky.]

Exemplary squatting. Phenomenal front squatting, including fast 4 x 240kg!

[@maurisje96]

That Bussy of Tian, just insane.

[@supercowgaming]

Tian Tao got that old man strength.

[@wanluqman9539]

3:07 why does the cameraman look like Nate Cerwinske?? Is it him?

[@christianjohnson3112]

Yes it is! He was asked by Weightlifting house to come out and film a documentary for WH

[@RockyTucsonPaik]

Tian has one of the best squats in history 😤

[@parasmisri]

Toshiki Yamamoto too

[@joosiekawk]

these guys are OX

[@GymChess]

Beyond impressive.

[@1000JackFoster]

Спасибо!

[@Unknowen682]

What a boss Tian is !

[@ГригорийДемченко-ш5х]

My 120 kg PR looks like a joke

[@Ывэоэх]

Я пришёл с работы уставший, дома есть олимпийский гриф. смотрел, пошёл приседать.

[@tree_eats]

It took me like seven minutes to realise that they're doing front, not back squats. Holy shit, the core strength of these lads. That's unreal.

[@LabProdia-i4f]

Man, their strength levels are no joke. And their spotters didn't even in their positions.

[@peterchun8785]

Is that Venus Weightlifting in the back?

[@abhimanyugupta532]

These two train like bros!

GIGACHAD & HEART ATTACK

[@fishstraws626]

Wtf 11:08 ypu can see slabs of muscle on his lower back, literally bulging

[@Golinbek_for_the_Midland]

That's shield

[@zoomin0206]

濤哥舉手投足都充滿喜感😁😁😁

[@Waruto]

Tian Tao squats are insanely strong.

[@JeffreyDahmerLoveMakingFriends]

Random question: I feel like whenever I squat, the nerves in my lower quad by my left knee get irritated

[@NeoViny]

The faith of these athletes in the equipment is remarkable… imagine the bar tears apart in the middle with all the weights … RIP

[@fmls8266]

Those bars are professional and cost around 1000€ each. They won't break.

[@MH-lg1iu]

There is a story of a Bulgarian lifter (back in Communist days) who was using a poor quality bar for front squats, which snapped right at his neck. It impaled his neck and he died instantly.

[@gabrielwolf6438]

looking great

[@Valkyrie1911]

Suddenly my 170kg front squat doesn’t seem that impressive.

[@jsc5590]

It’s still very impressive my friend!

[@jamesellison6154]

What does holding excessive weight up like that do exactly? ~9min mark. I guess like conditions the CNS more or something

[@weberluc2685]

Yes it’s a cns primer

[@KacperPuchalski-z1t]

What's the exercise after squad for? One when they put on 370. Just playing around or is there a purpose? I'm a newbie to weightlifting

[@kriena4190]

Its kind of just to get them used to simply holding much heavier weight. Forgot the exact detailed reason but that's the jist of it

[@zemm9003]

It's to prime your nervous system to hold heavy weight. A big part of lifting is psychological. Even if you are physically capable of lifting heavier you will not be able to do so unless your mind is used to feeling the weight on top of your back (or in this case front).

[@patriciolozier86]

Tian's lower back is the size of my quads 💀

[@lgnd-lm6ug]

Asian morphology (short legs and long torso) gives a natural advantage - their legs literally travel less distance from squat to full extension

[@UKERU00]

These 320kg+ half reps bending the bar lmao, its funny seeing these very specific exercises for athletes used to lift such high weight amounts

[@manomantax]

Joel Seedman squats

[@kittlydelrey]

Dynamic front rack holds, they're great for priming your body for heavier weights

[@SuperYoungjb]

It’s a central nervous system primer

[@pkpckls]

Random question but does anyone know what sneakers the guy in the blue t shirt is wearing?

[@petarkamenov5927]

Karlos is waiting for him!

[@waxwingvain]

These sessions on the same day as the snatch?

Goddamn holding 370kg on your shoulders is ridiculous.

The chinese: there are billions of us, use each other, dont need more machines.

surely they can just bring a back extension machine?
