Meet the LeBron James of Weightlifting: The 16 Project 

Newspaper at 5:00 says LeBron too. Inconsistent smfh

LOL

Was thinking the same lol

Tbf at like 4:50 it says in newspaper lebron James of weightlifting

They probably didn’t wanna dr😭

It be like that sometimes

As Mary Poppins once said, “He may have been your father, boy. But he wasn’t your daddy.”

Umm I would hope so

Well the coach literally has a crazy good prospect in a sport he's been coaching for years and the dad is like oh well I guess my son is pretty good at this weight lifting thing. I'm sure he's supportive too cause coaching and travel to national meets aren't free

Yes a WEIGHTLIFTING coach is more passionate about weightlifting than a dad whos probably never done wl be4...

Ok

It doesnt diminish anything stop being too sensitive

Theres always a few of these stupid comments

This guy sucks BIG time. He did terrible during the Olympics. China's Shi Zhiyong took a fat shaat on him winning gold. Followed by Socialist Venezuela taking silver. Then when he had the opportunity to gain gold he missed the clean and whined like a female dog. He won 4th. You know who won bronze? Indonesia! B group Indonesia! That just shows how overrated and hyped he is. Not impressed at all.

@@aidangriffiths5075 he’s kinda right especially as someone who is very deep into Olympic weightlifting CJ isn’t even at the top in his own weight class let alone being the MJ or lebron of lifting. Still exceptionally strong no doubt but not near the all time greats

Gerald Green you know how black hair attracts lint? Don't you🤔😂

Assholes for that 😭

H Xen you are so fucking stupid

Looooooooooool this is the most autistic thing I've ever seen like how can you get soooo maaad over someone writing "u stoopid" in the fucking youtube comments???@ get a life ASAP nigga

Gerald Green Exactly shit was pissing me off.

No it’s a GTA SA reference, how have you not played that game?

LOL!

katari fuck off u virgin

He doesn't even compete... So it wouldn't make much sense.

Clarence was great before the vegan diet and PED use that came with failing to make the Olympic team.

@@michaelgrimm He's gotten stronger since going vegan

@@gksne641 PED use

Yesss

Probably 2

He made the Olympics!!!

Leandro Gula 💪

Yesss

I feel like it's hard for any of these young olympic athletes to not be solid people in general. It takes a lot of good character (discipline, work ethic, respect, etc) to get where they are.

@@ObeseWizard most of them are arrogant pieces of shit or just mentally broken. This guy seems like a real good friend.

Ikr it's kind of a art

don valle and less on crossshit

CM Derp get the fuck out for here

Oly weightlifting is a man's sport. They only cover sex changes in merica.

Glass Steagall unfortunately

He's so good I'm sure he will get all sorts of endorsements and advantages later on in life, being that it's a Olympic sport and he's got his name out there for doing that at such a young age. I'm not a oly lifter but i am into lifting but honestly I wish I wasn't that into that at thatage tbh. I totally love being all in now that I'm older, but I missed out on so many things I should have focused all my energy on how to get degrees in college ; I think it actually was part of the reason why I didn't participate in school like I should have, but what's freakin worse/funny I knew all about lifting, but I knew NOTHING about nutrition which is 80% of it lol! So basically I think I was literally half as big and strong as I could have been,( which is saying a lot)while wasting: time energy money ECT. I was walking around all day without a post work out meal after lifting, big no no, but when I got out of high school and learned about nutrition and post workout meals I freakin blew up in strength and size, now I love it more than ever. I really wish i would have had more knowledge about nutrition , so much wasted time.

Yeah most families these days are toxic and emotional cannibals.

@@glasssteagall3400 thats deeply disturbing and sad

As a father, I’d be disappointed as well if I had a gay son

I’m from his hometown it’s not but haters over here

@636lover1 dont feed the trolls

He's probably gay but still in the closet

Ya'll Finished Or Ya'll Done? He's 16 tho. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he's just awkward and shy around cameras and interviews like a lot of 16-year olds.

He is 16 years old genius

Paul S Your voice at 16 is pretty much what it would be for the rest of your life tho.

He just sounds like he has low iq

qwervqwe vqwevqwev school is not everything. People can make money in many ways in todays era.

@qwervqwe vqwevqwev Lol at not earning anything from weightlifting. He's already getting tons of free stuff and he hasn't even entered the Olympics yet. Once he does, he'll be flooded with sponsors and he has the option to open a gym or become a coach when he retires. He's set for life to be honest.

3 minutes you know what his dad is like.....maybe you're just a dick and a hater.

@@stefanwolf8558 you're out of your mind. This is a nothing sport with zero moneyflow. Wake up.

He's prolly still in the process of getting over that he's gay and happy that he atleast chose this instead of cheerleading

and talented

Europeans champions start lifting seriously at 4 years old

Wlopsn if you research crossfit, you will realize that it is basically the pyramid scheme of the fitness industry.

Riley Freeman #JP The male version on Lil Yachty

Really? I thought he looks a little more like lil windex.

Riley Freeman #JP thats racist

He's big yachty

WE HYPE LEAVE US ALONE ..nice comment made me lol.

Jonathan Sosa yeah calling him the LBJ of oly weightlifting is as it stands a disrespect to the likes of Ilya ilyin

Education will help people get money, if he makes money he won’t need educations. He just needs basic reading and writing and so on, he has no need for all the nonsense and lies they teach in school, almost no one does.

Celestial 16 no one’s talking about the education of the weightlifter though, we’re talking about how vice employees are uneducated for comparing this guy to lebron James

Kokainuser I was stating my own opinion about him, not according to the sentence. And I was right, no one needs calculus is he or she will never need it in the future, same for most of the crap they teach. I skipped high school and had very high scores, and barely found anything useful besides the basics. I’m not just an idiot speaking nonsense, from what I see and the research I have done my opinion is correct.

ROKMC Rec. actually the world record holder for the snatch and clean-jerk total is Georgian

ROKMC Rec. Russia doesn’t dominate anymore. The constant drug tests fucked Russia over

Yeah its basically that whole region.

The balkans too.

He is setting junior world records. That means he’s already beating the Chinese and Russians.

Actually, Joe Frazier already put it on the map. CJ will keep it there.

Dresdin Archibald well CJ is relevant right, no disrespect to the great Joe Frazier.

I agree

Pot isn't a drug, it's only hurts lives cause of the stigmas and urine tests

pat mendes is very strong but he wont win shit in the olympics sorry to burst ur bubble

namn not anymore since he got an 8 year ban for testing positive for steroids back in 2012 and 2016

Ingemar Kenyatta quit crying my nigga it makes us look weak

J

Brett Seledotis how's that HGH gut bro?

Haters

You can't. That would mean that you have recognized that you are stupid, which you haven't. To be me would mean that you understand I was pointing out a flaw in your logic when you said he was already on something. That would mean that you understand that I was observing you make an opinion like it's a fact. That would also mean that you understand when I said you have HGH gut, I couldn't prove it. Much like you can't prove he's on something. You could never be me.

Yoel Dawit Every top-level weightlifter is on performance enhancing drugs. That's the same in all sports. If you want to be the best, then you need to get an edge.

OMG you're the epitome of internet weirdo. There's always the one guy that gets too technical and reads too much into the titles and just tries to sound intelligent with his choice of words. Using old ass examples is played out as well. that's like saying well so and so from the 13th century was the all time strongest teen. If he aint from 2015 until now then we don't give a shit who he was. we are talking about today you nobel prize wanna be fuck

Jarvis Big Hogg Greene first off relax, and second off no, why do you get to make the rules about the cutoff date. "It has to be 2015 to now" get over yourself and grow up

Might have something to do with Lebron being labelled as the best up and coming / future greats when he was in highschool (around 16 yo as well). That and the skin colour.

Jarvis Big Hogg Greene lmao Ilya ilin is still competing and not retired. He was CJs age not even 14 years ago. And anyways, as great as CJ is, he’s not near as dominant as several Asian and European weightlifters were at a young age, I mean he only has the CLean and jerk junior world record while there are many people that still own all 3 records for the junior division, ilya being one of them. He is the best America has ever produced but definitely not the best the world has ever seen and there is MANY countries ahead of America in oly weightlifting, so as it stands now while he is one of the greats in the junior age bracket, he is not the GOAT.

we are talking 'merica , take your grumpiness to another video

lmfaoo too good

ilya ilyin, Klokov.... hummmm ;-) now you have heard of a few!!!
