The Guy With ‘Too Much Muscle’ Shatters World Records 

Unless you are a gym goer it's probably very hard to appreciate just how powerful guys like this are. By normal standards I80kg is a respectable deadlift for a guy of his size.

Dude just snatched my deadlift! Such an incredible display of power!

That's just insane power. Imagine walking into a gym knowing you're one of the strongest lifters and these guys are in there throwing weights over their head most people have trouble trying to deadlift. Yep, looks like it's a cardio day for me.

i competed (amateur) in conventional deadlifting compettiion back in the United States (2017 or so). In the under 180 lbs category (178 lbs body weight) i hit 515 lbs and got the podium. I could sense electrical signals runnign down my spine, brain fogging up, vision blurry and a nose bleed. This guy is 9 kgs heavier and cracked almost the same weight in clean and jerk and walks away with a celebratory punch.. MY GODDDDD

That was impressive. It's hard to imagine the work and effort he has put into his craft. What an inspiration.

Man, today I just cleaned a one rep max, bench at 275 lbs - to see him lifting and throwing an additional 200lbs pounds over my 275lbs over his head is just out of this world. Very impressive strength.

Its crazy to reach this lvl. Not only that insane power, but avoiding the risk of getting injured through all the hard work is a feat in itself

Incredible mental and muscular strength. He is super human.

400+ kg in the cards for this class

, He's5 '10 195 lbs and and to see what he's accomplished is mind blowing ! l I was watching him and observing his gaze , he's got a freakishly strong body but man I think he's got got an even stronger mind to do what he's done

Always mad respect for this lift . Takes so much focus and not to mention overall strength .

I really can't agree more with the other comment: you simply cannot grasp how hard he must have trained, how unbelievable what he has achieved, and how moving that moment really is, unless you work out. That last inch. That one last push. Breathtaking. Bravo. Mad respect.

This fellow is a superb athlete. Not only is he strong, he has stamina and agility, a potent combination that enables him to get the weight moving upward, lifting even himself in that process, then dashing under the weight before it falls too far. Perhaps the greatest gift he possesses, is his mental strength.... He appears to me to lack intimidation of the heaviest weights, approaches the bar with extreme confidence and executes perfect form with every lift. I hope to see more lifts by Li Dayin, I hope he is blessed with a long and healthy career !!

The most impressive part of this to me was that he failed 475 on his first attempt and then hit it on his second. Absolutely insane mental willpower, not to mention physical strength.

I have so much respect for olympic lifters. To be so strong & explosive, yet flexible & agile are such a hard thing to achieve

And he bows at the end. What an absolute dominant athlete.

Got some overlapping audio around 1:40 Seems to desync before that

That's crazy man, 89 is truly wild

Hey guys Tian Tao has also snatched 180 at the 85 wt class. All he needs to do is put them together and he’s got 400 plus

He makes it look effortless. Madness!

Li Dayin=Total Legend.

Plenty of things to appreciate here, one is the insane display of strength and explosive power, one of the other things to note is the incredible hip and ankle mobility and the ability to lift the weight of the ground with shoes with raised heels

Amazing work. Getting into weightlifting was one of the best things in my life. I just started but I appreciate it so much.

I’m thankful for this footage being available and the general commentary, but the cacophony in the seconds before his 180 was insane.

Amazing! Well done. Congratulations.

I appreciate the amount of effort that's been put into every Snatch weight. No matter how light or heavy. I'm literally learning right now and getting 20to30kgs up is hard yet I can bench 110kgs and Squat 100kgs deadlift 160kgs so long journey ahead for me.

so smooth.. couldn't imagine the hard work every day

The velocity out of the bottom with 180kg is just astonishing

Wow, Congratulations. So impressive! Very nice job!

An extraordinary demonstration of the amazing capabilities of the human body. The power to move such prodigious weights above the head like that is almost beyond belief, not least when considering it is produced by living tissue and bone limited by genetics that can be trained to achieve such feats of strength. Truly inspiring!

So powerful especially for his size/weight 👍

The average person has no idea just how unbelievably impressive this was

‘Too much muscle’ what a great problem to have.

That dude has crazy power 🙌

Li Dayin is seriously awesome to watch! In my opinion one of the most effortless-looking lifts was from Kakhi Kakhiashvili World Record 188 Kg, Athens, 1999

BEAST MODE! that was INSANE!

The mechanics of the snatch have always perplexed me. How shoulders and elbows don't explode when loading weight in that angle is insane

Insane powe , insane technique, and also his core , like steel, that keeps him well balanced.

At around 1:33 there is Seb's voice talking over himself. Just FIY. It's like double the Seb. Lol. Other than that I appreciate Seb's commentary and the video.

Not taking anything away from li dayin, but I just looked up some historical records, and for the 90kg weight class we have Snatch: 195.5kg C&J: 235kg Both set in the 1980s. Goes to show how much heavily enhanced athletes in the past blow away even the cream of the crop in talent.

Olympic lifting is pure poetry in motion . When I was a kid there was a guy in my small town of New Zealand who went to the 1982 commonwealth games , 1984 Los Angeles olympics , 1986 commonwealths in Edinburgh Scotland , 1988 soul olympics and 1990 commonwealth games New Zealand . He lifted in the 82.5 kg class and his best lifts were a snatch of 152kg and a clean and jerk of 193kg . Phenomenal lifts for 82.5 kg but he said to me years latter the Bulgarians and Russians in the day were dame near snatching his clean and jerk . Just ridiculous strength really .

That is amazing strength and form. No intimidation by the challenge at all.

Strength and power yes of course without question, but his technique is also beautiful, almost perfect.

Exceptional lifting. But it just brings home how exceptional the great David Rigert was. Lifting in the 90kg class he made 180 + 220, for a 400kg total. Almost 50 years ago…

The speed and explosiveness is just incredible!

Superhuman strength!

So much talent in mens 89kg.

Much respect for these guys. That is pure weight and masterful techniques

perfect form in the snatch

Wow. Congrats that is very impressive. God Bless

Your commercials/sponsor ads are running over the video. Just FYI. Love the content! 🥇😊

Two Awesome lifts.

Best power jerk in all history. Not just getting the job done but damn aesthetic to behold. I bet money that it's gonna a new trend much like the earlier squat jerk wave.

Superhuman performance Unbelievably skilled and powerful. So impressive

Oooooofffs... How can it happens... Really awesome lifts ... Congratulations 🎉

Very very impressive! Wow!

Li really made you eat your words after your "Li Dayin has a big problem" video😅

Super human strength for his size truly incredible.

all insanely beautiful, all insanely powerful. the prince has now fully come to the weightlifting scene!!

Well done!

Superman from China

I've Been Around Oly Lifters And This is Absolutely Impressive Insane and Unbelievable

My favorite lifter

bro is an absolute unit

UNREAL power.

omg, what form! Holy shit! respect

This is amazing but the sound from the slow-mo lift at 4:30 😂

Let's appreciate his combo. Possessing an eye-pleasing and super-functional body.

Dude is a beast.

this is crazy truly amazing

Imagine Dayins snatch and Tian Tao Clean and Jerk together

You just know he’s been hitting WRs in training with how easy this looks

With that much power, he can save a lot of electricity bills 😂

Amazing strength 💪

I move around 500 pound barrels of spray foam by sliding them inch by inch. I can’t believe how these guys can possibly do this. It’s incredible! Wow!

Incredible strength nice technique, flawless jerk💫👍🏾👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾

This morning I was leg pressing 450kg whilst on Instagram

Blagoy Blagoev did 195 kg in the 90 kg class. Asen Zlatev snatched 183 kg in the 82.5 categorie. YURIK VARDANYAN did 405 kg worldrecord in total (182.5 224) in the 82.5kg class.

My knees hurt from just watching this 😳

It's so crazy to watch these guys do these lifts. He just did the clean where the weight went the length of his neck before coming back and hitting him in the clavicle... and not even a flinch. That was 216kg...

DISCIPLINE..FOCUS..STRENGH..SKILL..YOU WILL BECOME WORLD CHAMPION..

Does anyone know how much did he actually weigh in this competition?

😮amazing

Bravo, very good!

I can't my arms holding 500lbs up like that! insane

The ultimate Unit

speechless!

He went from classic physique to open class

It would be crazy to watch this guy throw barrels overhead like a strongman lmao

Audio issue at 1:35

amazing athlete

Amazing

hope stay healthy as long is possible.....such effort....im afraid. but RESPECT

Insane power

Tian tao: "Hold my fishing rod and thick noodles"

Looking forward to seeing Li at the next Olympic.

some times i wish my body was mechanically sound enough to even attempt to do this. i could'nt even do this if i wanted to let alone grow and develop through the sport lmao

unbelievable!. wow

Insane!

475 LBS!! Now that's some serious lifting.
