I'm not a huge weightlifting fan but watching Kuo is just fun, so smooth and precise, like a figure skater throwing around weights the strongest women in the gym strive to squat.
Team china announced they won't go to the Asian championship. The only competition before Paris they would attend is a words championship ,I guess there they would decide the team , probably giving zhiyong and tian tiao more time before picking the Paris team .
Only three males for Paris is fucking brutal. Li Fabin, Chen Lijun, Shi Zhiyong, Li Dayin, Tian Tao, Liu Huanhua. How the fuck are they going to choose?
@@jsem94 I feel like Li Fabin and Liu Huanhua are almost set for Paris, the third place is there for the taking in my humble opinion. Tian is inconsistent, so is Li Dayin lately, Chen Lijun is not the best at his new weight and Shi has yet to do something since Tokyo.
Something to look out for, Britain's (and Ireland's) Strongest Man is next Saturday and the first event is 400kg for reps (conventional, Strongman rules). A good few of the contestants have featured on the news show before. You can stream it easily online as well
@@timbotemon yeah, it's not really Ireland's Strongest Man, but there are two Irish competitors in Britain's Strongest Man. Wasn't implying an annexation of any kind
With a rough hand timing of the flip at the end, I'm getting air time of around 1.1 seconds. Using H = 0.5 * g * t ^ 2 to solve for the height, he is falling around 5.9 meters or ~20 feet.
Can you guys add the names of the athletes and/or their social media on the description timestamps too? With some names it'd be really helpful, to find them. Great stuff guys! I wish more judokas posted their training to get on the news show. Judo channels still have so many weird PT suggested or self made programs and some actually suggest for you not to go to the gym. For example the fresh european champion judoka Puumalainen described their gym training and it's basically all you've been vouching for: cleans, bench, squat, deadlift, seal rows, dumbbell rows, pullups, pushups. His numbers were like 170 kg bench, 220 kg squat, 250 kg deadlift, 160 kg seal row, 20 pullups (130 kg), 150 kg clean & jerk, 110 kg snatch. No straps. No mythical exercises. Just lacking video footage on social media at the time. Talking about competition entry gift shirts, when I got to university of applied science for engineering, the teacher who manages the class was wearing an iron man shirt (not the kids' thing, the nuts iron man race thing). Was about the coolest unexpected thing that he could've been wearing.
32:45 Most of the top deadlifters in strongman have pulled 510+ kg on an 18-inch deadlift in competition. I think Rauno Heinla has the current record around 540kg.
Love the sika news videos guys keep it up. Ill be honest tho, i'm suprised you guys think the estonian guy did 190 push press. Pretty sure thats 145... oscillation, plates placement, rythm, everything is off to me. Also seeing him do 190 jerk crazy hard makes me doubt he can push press is like that...
13:24 is it really 190kg though? Middle plates look suspiciously lighter colour... 2.5kg training bumpers? No way a weightlifter who push presses 190kg that easily would struggle like that on a 190kg jerk
Awesome stuff boys, I do however RESPECTFULLY disagree about the chains and Loiue comment, the man dedicated his whole life to strenght training had eons of knowledge, trained more people and trained longer than any of us have been alive, its hard to disagree with a man like that in regards to not only training but that chains don't work which he even said that accomodating resistance can be used for any sport, mind you this was also backed up by Mel Siff in the book super training. Bands and chains work they just have to be used properly. Not saying that you guys dont know how to use them or how to train, you guys are awesome but I do disagree that chains don't work.
Bands and chains work for sure. Just not so much for snatch and clean & jerk. It messes with the timing of the lifts and will only reinforce bad technique
I would disagree, in my experience using bands and chains as well as with other athletes they force you to use good technique, if not then they will punish you. I can see what you mean but this is where some of us as coaches need to be wise and knowledgeable, we must first teach proper technique, at the very least analyze the athletes and then go from there. But I am very confident that bands and chains when used properly can make you very strong and that's for any sport.
@@Grch500 maybe. But there are literally ZERO coaches or teams who use bands or chains as part of their training the main lifts. Perhaps there's a reason for that don't you think? Louie as good as he was, was not as notable a coach when it came to Olympic weightlifting
I can see your point, I just feel that most coaches are very closed minded when it comes to trying new things especially here in America, the only one to my knowledge that started experimenting with not only bands and chains but also a wide variety of variations of the main lifts was Travis Mash but he didn't really provide any real updates or feedback to it. The old russians and some rare modern ones had a ton of empirical evidence that these worked but most of that stuff disappeared once the soviets collapsed, just like Louie would say they were talking about using using bands or cords back in the 50's. I can only speak for myself and the ppl I've trained, I trully feel they are the best tools if used properly.
I would never train with chains, but the logic at 11:25 is wrong - the heavier the bar is at the top means you can absolutely pull under faster than if it were lighter weight. It's literally like doing a muscle up on a fixated bar vs. trying to do one on a loose band above your head (you'd just pull the band down toward you rather than pull yourself up). For cleans/snatches it's the same concept but just the opposite direction. Using chains in this context makes sense if the guy's technique is extremely good and ingrained already but he has that one specific weakness.
