Shi Zhiyong Bar to 160kg 

the old Bulgarian champions were told "you always expect to lose soldiers in a war", so they trained injured all the time. their records have not been beaten until today. In fact weight classes were changed to make weightlifting more "exciting" for spectators - because people realized their records wouldn't be surpassed soon.

The weight classes were changed because all the records were made by guys who were juiced.

@@johndoherty-hh2ck everyone is still juiced

@@genautelevishn5999 haha let him believe

@@jayvynn2391 naivety is not sexy

He was out because he had to bulk up with some roids and some new Chinese drugs.

@@roncaruso931 braindead comment

@@roncaruso931Surely you're trolling right? You see the same video I can see right? Dude is very clearly in some real pain all throughout this which pretty much tracks with being out for over a year from injury. If he was out taking drugs I don't think he'd come back struggling to do 18kg under his PB. Get real man lmao

@@Warriormanners Dude. LOL. Roids help pain. Not trolling. Educating.

He probably is. Elite performance has its price.

Could be the roids.

in 2014 he was severely injured with back issues. probably some sign of the injury still remains

During his snatches you can see him whincing from pain after he finishes and he withdrew from C&J after his first lift this competition

Still recovering from hamstring injury.

He was freaking great today. 6 for 6, his highest total since the Olympics when he was an 81 and he moved up to the fourth slot in the Paris rankings. Even though he bombed at worlds, he won a tough competition for European title. Ritvars should be pleased with his overall performances this year.

His technique is artful. Beautiful to watch.

He had a great performance and not taking anything away from Suharevs, but we all know Shi was not top condition. You and I both know if Shi was in shape, he would have CNJ 190+ and probably snatched 163+. His win will always be overshadowed by Shi being injured.

I'd say he's on that lasha type level where people can't come close when he's at his prime but if he's injured etc the top competitors have a chance

​@@carpetgymolyliftinghard to say he's on a lasha level when he hasn't even outlifted liao hui whos spot he took when he came to prominence. Comparing lasha to anyone else means going back decades.

​@GenericUssername lasha isn't comparable to anyone in history lol I said type not quite to the level of him but he's on that type of level

​@@carpetgymolyliftinglin wen wen ❤

​@adrianaavila3019 she's no.1 or 2 of all time of the women's side 100% if only she competed with Kasharina

He need more roids.

@@roncaruso931your fingers need more roids to be more keyboard puzzy warrior 😂

Don't know if they're going to send him with his injury and Rahmat putting up gold winning numbers. Li Fabin is possibly injured so they'll probably send Chen Lijun out of the two. Liu Huanhua is pretty much guaranteed a slot with his recent performances, plus it'll be his first Olympics. Last slot is between Shi and Li Dayin, and Li Dayin seems much healthier.

Chen is a natural 67 now. He came down for 61s last spring for Asian championships and was down a great deal as you could imagine. He would not be as dominant in the 61s if he came down again.

Does that translate into MORE ROIDS!

@@roncaruso931 ok buddy

@adrianyang2192 Thanks buddy. Buddy. lol

@@roncaruso931your cack need more roids so you can start lifting mate 😂

@@adrianyang2192 don't worry yall @roncaruso931 is a bot

I think the standing motion causes him the most pain so he is avoiding it in warm ups.

About 90% of the way back. What specifically have been his injuries. Anybody know?

He’s got a bad back

Its Hes back. He needs more roids.

Rahmat did 359

Weraphoon is close, idk what happened on comp day now

Fair enough, looking at Rahmat's comp stats now, he did set two 350+ totals in the 73kg class: 2022 (Dec 9) World Championships in Bogota - 352 (152S + 200CJ) 2022 (Oct 3) Asian Games in Hanzhou - 359 (158S + 201CJ) While competing in the 81kg: 2021 Islamic Solidarity Games in Konya - 355 2023 (Sep) World Championships in Riyadh - 354 2023 (June) IWF Grand Prix in Havana - 358 2023 (May) SEA Games in Phnom Penh - 359 Since 81kg is not an option for the 2024 Olympics, he's definitely competing in the 73kg class. It certainly remains to be seen how well his performance from the more recent and heavier 81kg sessions will carry over to the lighter 73kg session in 8 months time (Aug 8).

As for Weeraphon, this was what I was able to dig up (since he's still a junior as of Sep 2023): Competing in the 73kg: 2022 (Oct 3) Asian Games in Hanzhou - 351 (156S + 195CJ) [2nd place to Rahmat] 2023 (Sep 9) World Weightlifting Championships in Riyadh - 349 (154S + 195CJ) [1st place] 2023 (Dec 7) IWF Grand PRIX II in Qatar - 334 (145S + 189CJ) [3rd place to Shi's 2nd place] I think these are his most recent (and relevant) competitions. Looking at his current track record though I'd argue he's less of a contender than Rahmat unless he can pull out his 2022 total again at Paris.

Both of you should take more roids.

Bro needs to take more roids bro. You hear me bro. Im just a bro. Are you a bro. How stupid...Bro. LOL!!

he's been injured for a while. he's just forced to lift here as he doesn't have a competitive total put up yet for this Olympic qualification period and this is the second to last event to put one up

The most dominant athlete is in the supers my friend LASHA.

Yeah it’s either his last oly soon or he needs to take an extended period to recover. Really depends how bad he hurt his back

I think his last Olympics. He’ll be 31 next summer. If he gets gold he’ll be only the sixth guy to win Olympics three times with Lasha right behind him probably.

Everything i guess

In particular his lower back was hurting big time looked like. I hadn’t realized it watching the competition. Now I understand why only one jerk and totaled just enough to get on Paris rankings list.

They will massage him with roid oil.

@@roncaruso931you need yo mamas oil to massage your butt and suck on your mommas breast milk 😂

To be more exact, NOONE should be lifting :)

@@Perforu Lifting prevents osetoperosis

​@@durrantmiller8810 yeah, lifting tiny weighs in regular fashion sure does - lifting ridiculous weighs at the absolute maximum of human capability while pushing that border as far as possible by any means necessary destroys your joints, ligaments and most importantly compresses intervertebral disc which causes herniation which leads to nerve compression - which either makes your life a torture or renders you invalid / disabled. Not to mention the quality of life factor as it leaves you in constant pain and neurological symptoms. This sport, while thrilling to watch, should be banned unfortunately, because it questions the whole idea of sport - which is to keep your body healthy and young. I don't think there is another discipline these days which requires the athlete to sacrifice their body as much as weightlifting.

Try American football. You can add brain damage from all the concussions you receive to all the other damage you cite.

Рахмат Эрвин Абдулла уже не в этой весовой категории, а в 81-й...

Back injuries ruin many athletes careers especially strength athletes

Yes. BUt he needs to intake more roids.

Then he should get an academy award cause that pain was convincing for me.

oh please not that Squat University reposting weightlifting videos for normies, you can't expect any of his audience to even squat properly, let alone practice any proper weightlifting, which is the snatch, clean and jerk.
