[@prostrongmanzack]

The message in this video is probably one of the simplest, yet most overlooked principles to becoming better. If you seek to become the best you must do as the best do, and then some. There is no substitution for hard work, and it is a shame that every other individual out of today's "lifters" believe that you can program out hard work or learn much of anything from people who simply talk.

[@stefanh.960]

This whole video is just complete and utter DOMINATION of weightlifting. Beyond impressive.

[@Truckingsx]

Chinese dominated weightlifting in the past 2 Olympics through hard work n dedication. 8 weight lifting champions none of them are been accused of using drugs

[@leesupra6618]

there were mircale runners too until......

[@wozhendeaa]

They aren’t being accused because everyone knows they use.

[@pedromfl]

@Dean Manson Not just weightlifting. All categories in the olympics are filled with drugs.

[@FilipFrobergED]

This clip has so much power in it! Love it! :D

[@Jtking3000]

I find it amazing how they manage a lot of those lifts so slowly!

[@AfferbeckBeats]

That final clean was amazing. He barely had to get it off the ground.

[@redsohc]

This video is all kinds of awesome.

[@Daluke61]

Great motivational vid!

[@jpb10]

outstanding stability

[@MrSmurf459]

Your right a bigger person does have more POTENTIAL to lift more weight but it is not always the case it really depends on how an individual trains. To sum it up a bigger muscle gets stronger quicker, it really depends on your goals and what sport you compete in!

[@IrishMarc1]

this video is awesome

[@AfferbeckBeats]

I have watched this video more times than I can count.

[@mcclurgoman]

That last lift has the fastest 3rd pull I've EVER seen ;o

[@curiosity55]

Ok..... back to commenting about the video. Badass video.

[@ilaRIKKI]

in my opinion this is very impressive and inspirational video.

[@cloystreng]

Love that they are listening to The Bad Touch. haha

[@neometalx9]

mad respect to olys, very difficult movements and they always try to keep the best form possible even when going super heavy. unlike some weight lifters with weird ass forms.

[@NoZtyle]

you know when your whole life is pretty much training, lifting weights with the best coaches its no wonder you are that strong :D they are sure good

[@agencialt9633]

yup, they do bring your max potential i guess, i would love to see what level could someone reach alone in powerlifting lets say... olympic weight lifting might be too tough for solo lifting without being coached the proper form.

[@wozhendeaa]

*surely

[@aguilar69]

NOW THIS IS WHAT REAL!!! TRAINING LOOKS LIKE, TRUE STRENGTH, TRUE ATHLETES.

[@TheOriginalEntz]

great vid. comparing their form to see how my front squats are doing. i think I'm doing alright - in terms of where the bar rests :D

[@johan28711]

very impressive to say the least ;)

[@filthygerman027]

will do thanks :)

[@WINWO0D]

Loving the abundance of 5kg plates..

[@npacebg]

That last guy's jerk was awesome! Also, I didn't expect to see a half squat by an oly lifter (the 290kg squat)

[@Flightlevel23]

cool story bro keep em coming riveting bed time story

[@ChinaNite89]

The scary thing is these are only the junior lifters, on the top you have guys like Lu Xiaojun that's absolutely a beast

[@NorwegianZin]

@SuperiorAthAdv Fucking hell, that must've been awesome to witness. A room full of talented genetic freaks.

[@oldmanwhithers]

inspirational - cant wait till I can do 1/4 of what theyre doing

[@patrickforrester40]

@SuperiorAthAdv You guys actually get to go to China to train? That sounds awesome

[@MrSmurf459]

Yeah i agree with everything you said also!

[@MrMapex2010]

Damn those boys are strong

[@deadist]

Those movements, do they train the biceps?

[@fuerzabruta88]

increible

[@jrcastrorwc]

holy shit. These guys are crazy

[@Mulleii]

@ThatDunneKid190 They train with straps because they train 6 hours a day maybe more, so naturally their grip strength will get exhausted eventually. And thats why they use straps so they can keep lifting heavy

[@kraftsportNO]

pre olympic testing is often lax, and they have top medical professional assistance too.

[@golden188]

if you wanna be the best you have to train like the best

[@tubermann1]

How much stronger would you say the Chinese lifters are in squatting and deadlifting than American lifters? Thanks for the awesome videos!

[@MXhm91]

Only the strong in that room!

[@MrSmurf459]

Your right what alot of people dont know it's really your diet that makes you lose body fat it doesnt really matter what kind of cardio an individual does, whether it be high intensity cardio or steady state cardio! There are benefits to both but it depends on your situation!

[@almabeki8701]

They are soooo strong😨

[@1vootman]

The greatest light heavy, heavy, and super heavy weight weightlifters were the former Soviet Union, period end of story. The Bulgarians did awesome all as well. As far as the lighter weight classes are concerned, the Chinese kick ass.

[@sk8r9871]

Amazing, they all train from childhood.

[@cadocx]

0:50 mind=blown dem quads

[@mrwiskerz666]

I always knew china had good snatch

[@streetgamer1000]

One can interpret that in several ways

[@massblast92]

Kovia ovat. Joka jätkä!

[@GallowsPole805]

Were they using hook grips?

[@kinetik44]

strong music

[@filthygerman027]

because i play rugby, do you think I should be doing these olympic lifts? do you think i should focus more on strength training rather than building muscle mass as it is a contact sport?

[@wiredtoawall]

The medals they win suggests otherwise.

[@holkn]

id like to see you try

[@EndlersaurusRex]

Not every high school requires them, though. They're either for athletes or electives.

[@filthygerman027]

yeah that'd be cool ;)

[@AfferbeckBeats]

Weightlifting is a weight class sport. Most chinese lifters are in the 56, 62, 69, and 77kg classes, and they must stay that weight in order to compete. Weightlifting is more about developing the nervous system to be as efficient as possible, as opposed to bodybuilding where the goal is to gain as much muscle as possible. Weightlifters aim to be as strong as possible whilst as light as possible, because if someone lifts the same weight as you, with a bodyweight even 10 grams less, you lose.

[@bejjeagle]

How were you allowed to go train there? I really really want to go train there...

[@AdvocareAdster]

Good find, sir. haha

[@MrSmurf459]

look up Chris Barnards total explosive training. A very good program!

[@royjonzejr]

I like how everywhere the camera turns, manliness is going on.

[@MrSmurf459]

Olympic lifts are great but they are difficult to learn, so if you know how to do them feel free to implement them into your program. the the thing is you can bulk up,get stronger and more explosive concurrently! It really depends on your goals but a priority in almost every sport is to get stronger and more explosive, strrength train and sprint and do alot of plyometrics and eat alot of good food. if you need a program i can recommend one for you if you like.

[@clearasil11]

Their joints and bones have become used to it and have become very strong and steady after years of practice. People say this type of training is dangerous, well it's actually the safest form of weight exercising. Movements don't injure people, people injure people. If you start light and easy, and gradually build up over time, you will be able to do more and more weight without injuring yourself. Ego is a bitch and gets a lot of people in danger.

[@Knosferatu]

Secret chinese meditation technique. Breath is everything.

[@Krisbert1219]

BWAAAHAAA Blood Hound Gang at 0:24, EPIC!!

[@Mogsoup2]

CNS efficiency plays a much larger role in strength development than most broscience people would have you believe. danehb89 summed it up fairly well. C+J and snatch are very technical movements and it's often surprising how little muscle mass can support such large lifts. Doesn't mean muscle is useless, lots of retired bodybuilders that are already low bf% go on to lift very respectable oly and powerlifting numbers.

[@clearasil11]

I just C&J and Snatch 3 times a week. Work up to a nice weight and pound 5 singles. Then do assistance if you feel like it, front squats, snatch deads, dumbbell rows. Go jogging on the off days. I've lost a lot of fat simply by doing my workouts and jogging the first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach. Hope it helps. You will gain loads of muscle on your legs and back and shoulders from the weightlifting =)

[@shmeebegek1]

Meanwhile in America.. there were only a few thousand people who had ever tried Olympic Weightlifting before Crossfit came along, and hardly a medal for 40 years.

[@DivivnoC]

welcome to snap city!

[@tildenhellgate]

They train hard sure....but they are also jacked as all fuck....

[@rfjohns1715]

Thanks screen was blocked on computer didn't see weights

[@lonehats101]

whats the song playing at the beginning called?

[@biscuitbuilder]

Well, yeah, but not primarily. If you pull anything from the floor you'll train biceps at least a bit.

[@filthygerman027]

i still don't understand how it is humanely possible for their age!

[@rfjohns1715]

Pulling from the hang snatches and cleans Wow!Too bad I can't tell weights or bodyweights of lifters.

[@whosnexttt]

Kumbaya ma' Lord!

[@FaboFann]

sheeeeeesh

[@StevenCHKim]

@freedomsoldier187 Wait, wat? Isn't the large pool to pick from to increase the chance of getting more TALENTED lifters?

[@wiredtoawall]

its in the video description

[@wwkingms]

from what ive seen, Iran is the best oly lifting nation in the world atm

[@ilaRIKKI]

1:00 "hey hey" :DDDD

[@J.Mathias44]

Impressive. Wish I had the entire day to dedicate to lifting, mobilization and eating...

[@J.Mathias44]

Though whether or not that's all these guys do all is unknown to me.

[@cuzimrickjames]

jeremi wigler If they are on the Olympic weightlifting team then yeah... plus all the classes for Biology and fitness and training they would be taking.

[@GilBatesLovesyou]

Song at 00:36? Anyone? But, damn, I feel like total crap snatching 105 at 195 now...

[@MrSammers12]

their tech is high tech

[@DG123z]

Damn.

[@lMobiuscidl]

They are not "midgets" as some stupid people say. But there is a common thing among them, their biotype: all of them have short legs and long trunks. And of course their Chinese discipline and will to work (with the addition of drugs, but thats a constant in the Oly Lifting world).

[@jonatanolsen37]

+Pablo Cid All sports at elite level involve drugs. It aint cheating if everyone does it.

[@lMobiuscidl]

Jonatan Olsén IMO it is because there can be different PEDs better than others bringing the battle somewhere out of performance itself.

[@jonatanolsen37]

Yeah, but i think they all know what they are doing. These kinds of sports still require alot of hard work and talent. The drugs allow them to work even harder.

[@asarta703]

+Jonatan Olsén this. You can still work very hard to achieve your goals and cheat, I see it more as an enhancement than an actual shortcut

[@ElohimsBlade]

Pablo Cid well did you know that lu xiaojun is natty(he's been tested) so I look up to him in Olympic weight lifting and he is a sign of hope

[@EndlersaurusRex]

@Greenman25100 Well, these guys get to compete in the Olympics, while body builders don't. Goes to show you which the world thinks is more worthy. Hell, even trampoline was in the Beijing Olympics. That is a huge testimony to the lack of respect most nations have for body builders as athletes.

[@MegaMalevolent]

Does anybody know the name of the 94kg lifter?

[@CludzyMasta]

What is snap city?

[@MrSmurf459]

size doesnt always matter when it comes to strength training or olympic weight lifting any kind of weight lifting is a function of the nervous system and neural adaptation before it is a function of muscle, in other words you dont have to be very big to be very strong! If you train properly or according to your goals you can become very strong without adding unnecessary muscle mass!

[@matde100]

he was complementing us

[@KenSamaGomenasai]

he said Vegeta

[@AfferbeckBeats]

They don't have any 5s, real bumper plates don't go that low. Chinese use mainly 10s and 15s because they go up and down a lot in their attempts and also share the platforms with multiple lifters. Barely ever see 25s in Chinese videos apart from on squats.

[@mrillways]

boss training

[@kraftsportNO]

a hidden cam tour of their lab facilities would be interesting. did you discuss antidsoping with them, or too afraid to have your visa revoked ? :) impressive displays of strength.

[@lovesgibson]

badASS

[@mcerveiram]

So how do i get so short legs?

[@matde100]

in China, the majority of people do NOT have access to these types of things. Sports are very limited due to the fact that there are too many people and everyone is very poor. If you have time to do a sport, you must be damn good at it or else you're wasting valuable time that could be used to study, or help with the family on the farm. Majority of people in China spend their time in school because it gives the highest chance for success = money.

[@T0mm3n]

Lol you're not offering a rebuttal for the part about the 10lb curls then?

[@JohnDoe-rq9hr]

Nam of song remix?

[@shadowxcorex]

M2M - Mirror Mirror 1st song

[@ky93le]

Chinese robots are so high tech

[@darkmanddk]

Darn I'm weighting 67 kilo and I'm so proud that I can snatch 60
