I am not a weightlifter or plan on focusing my training on weightlifting...but i love their accessory movements they train at every range of motion and just kill it. Its interesting that all do all there equipment is old so things like walking in and out too squat seems to add up over time...i see not alot of belts being worn and technique is flawless
Greetings; you are the Finest Athletes in the World! I have learnt alot from this video. I am an Old Athlete now, and i am certainly not World Class. But i will take the lessons i have learnt here; to make myself the Best Athlete i can be. Thankyou
@@danielhenderson762 why would they? It doesn't make sense for them: a Tian Tao doesn't have anything to sell on youtube. BTW, he just did a 230 kg c&j at the world championship... so, I bet he can unrack whatever the f*ck he wants
tommaso martinetti Not in terms of movement, but as a cue it’s bad because most people end up leaning over too far forward and forgetting about the knees, turning the move into a good morning.
What's the pro and cons for using a bench to do this? Instead of just bending over and pulling form the ground? With the bench in your way, your lats is missing out on some range of motion
Okay, here's what I don't get: China has dominated international weightlifting since the 2000's. Anyone who follows WL can see this. With a little bit of research, China's methodology is out there, to be seen by anyone who looks (that has internet access). So, how long until these training principals are applied by other countries and teams (or more widely applied). It seems a lot already have, Rebekah Koha, Japan, South Korea, ect...while American teams seem to be stuck using "percentages", and far behind China in strength and technique. Is there something else giving China their advantages, besides simply the training they're doing?? Just wondering... -Weightlifting fan
Better funding. There's schools for kids that will become athletes so they train from very young. It can also be a career for young athletes, in other countries only the best are professionals that can fully focus on it.
also a larger population means theres more talented or genetically blessed individuals statistically speaking. this is just anecdotal but also alot of "top" atheletes just go into other sports in the states because it is much more lucrative. instead of having a Lu, u get anther NFL player
High population doesn't guarantee success in any sports. If you look up Olympic medal table, most of the highly populated countries ranked at the bottom. Money alone doesn't promise success either: Oil rich Middle East and rising economic power India. Many poor African nation outperformed them. Culture, work ethics and even genetics are equally important.
do you know that china is a commusimn* country? they pick out children who's build for bodybuilding (genetic based) straight from their family they are taken. Doesn't have anything to do with ur high population statement. but i will agree with you man, genetics plays a big role.
@@nolse0629 Vietnam and Cuba are communist too, if it's about taking children away from parents, they're nowhere on the medal table. And N. Korea did worse than democratic S. Korea. Keep believing in your conspiracy theory!
I'm just a newbie starting out- not even lifting, just at the gym; sorry to Tim Brown for my comment, just wanted to express my appreciation for this video; I'm very aware it will take me 2 years to just progress from bodyweight in my physical state; since I always like trying to pick up tips from watching the experienced people at the gym (etc) Do you have any advice for a Newbie like me- although I'm 36 years old, so I don't think I have any hope of accomplishing anything.
36 might be old for oly champion, but definitely not for anybody just begin to train and even compete, I have seen an 87 years old competed in a Masters Weightlifting event. While olympic weightlifting as a sport is not for beginners, basic strength training benefits anyone in any age, just be more careful to avoid injuries and make steady progress. There're a few channels I think might be helpful like ATHLEAN-X, Alan Thrall and Zack Telander, etc. Try oly weightlifting when you are at least in intermediate level by powerlifting standards.
bit late to the party but i started lifting last year (29). i dont think its possible for me to ever b able to compete vs kids who started olympic lifting in their teens, especially in a sport that involves explosiveness and flexibility but i do think maybe i can do something in powerlifting. u don't have compete or win aynthing. competition is mostly against yourself. just keep improving and doing what u love. what u get out of it is being in your 80s and can carry your milk home from the convenience store
What kind of credentials/certifications do Chinese weightlifting coaches have? Would prefer learning what they learn then going through a US Weightlifting course
There is no secrets to the chinese. It has been for years. All basic exercises that is needed for Olympic weightlifting. The difference is training is discipline. Eat, sleep, train Olympic weightlifting. That's what separate the Chinese from the rest of the world. No music in the training hall. No music ear plugs or android phones in the training hall while training. Every training session is serious, no joking around, everything is center around training Olympic weightlifting. Only talk about Olympic weightlifting. Just like the Bulgarians was in the 80's and 90's. The Chinese just continued where the Bulgarians left off. Just like the Bulgarians, the Chinese are supported by their government. Even, the Thailanders and Indonesians are supported by their government. It is to bad, the country of America, don't recognize Olympic weightlifting as a top sport in the world. And Americans, please don't give an excuse.
Also top-notch PEDs. Which DOESN'T MEAN what you said was not true. It just means that they are also juicing HARD and that needs to be taken into consideration. I'm sure many, maybe even most countries are juicing their weightlifters too, it's just with the Chinese, it's SUPER obvious.
Interesting how he considers the back squat as more mobility demanding, while the consensus un the western world ( Europe weightlifting schools ) would be the opposite.
The translation must be wrong. There's no way he said that "front squat is actuall more for chest". If you keep the chest fully open, like he said, that means your opper back is strong. Not the chest. Just try it out yourself. Puff out your chest. What you will realize is that pull the shoulders back and contract the back muscles.
That true..."chest out" is just the cue, I believe. Make sure to do lighter work though, not just heavy sets, hypertrophy moves like the Chinese do. I had to take a few weeks off of training because of trying to keep the chest out...
Any one else agrees that American weight/power lifters gets way too fat in the name of lifting heavy weights? These guys are strong and ripped at the same time, they are mid level athletes though
@@durrantmiller8810 i think you took my "interested" as in actually participating, interested can mean in any way, spectating, endorsing it etc., you wouldn't want to invest in something you are not interested in right? there are aloooot of rural kids in China, i don't think we even have a statistic for that haha
If you look up top 10 most populated countries, they are bad in almost every sports. Exception is China. Surely it's more than just population and money.
@@tobacco118 i think you should do some research before you talk shit about the top 10...just by guessing brazil india usa...if u actually think they are bad at sports...yikes
