@@josefharasek3502 Damn did you see lu and li increasing their body weight from 190+ kg to 200+ kg just to lift 81kg three times. I don't know how they did it but they must have been eating fast and a lot backstage....
I think it was still impressive for Lu XiaoJun to be in the back room with ice on his back lying down on the floor the whole time not warming up and then coming straight out onto stage and breaking records haha
There is something about the mild level of scuffness in the broadcast where you check if you're recording and the absolute insight into the world of weighting that makes these the best content to watch. Seriously funny banter.
29:33 "why do people love squat jerks so much"? Because it's symmetric, there's depth (for same reason that atg squats are way more aesthetic than quarter squats)
in seriousness though, they all grow up training split jerk. Only the ones who are limited by their jerk turn to squat/power. Some lifters like Chen Lijun and Li Fabin (who probably has the best jerk out of the top Chinese lifters) stick with the split.
34:30 Shershukov was coach for the youth team of the Soviet Union and head coach of Belarus when the Union dissolved. Almost 30 years including 6 Olympics with medalists at 4 of them. Aside from Mykhailo Matsiokha from Ukraine, I'm struggling to think of any other coaches now with that much experience.
I’d just like to highlight, as a former international showjumper, that that is what you’d call condition on a horse. However, complimenting Lu’s confirmation is also accurate as he has perfect proportions for his weight class.
@@xdavidliu why though? He's been competing in more international events than he could count and suddenly he's faking injuries like some dumb football player
I think the squat jerk is so popular because some percentage of people who get into weightlifting find out about the sport from watching RUclips videos of Lu and Pyrros Dimas. It's kind of like how in boxing the Philly Shell, as used by Floyd Mayweather, is pretty popular among hobbyists but relatively rare in actual competition.
To answer your question about dictatorships loving weightlifting, there are two main reasons: 1) Strength: Portraying your nations as powerful and masculine; displaying to the world your ability to overcome and to your own people the strength of the state overall. 2) Investment return: Weightlifiting represents a rather cheap way of securing as many medals as possible for the least amount of investment due to weightclasses. Same goes for sports such as Judo which is also popular in dictatorships. You need one large weightlfiting hall, a couple of coaches, and an endless supply of young people. Add in the ability to dope them to the gills and engineer a coverup and "Hey, presto!" you have glory for the Father/Motherland.
Lyu faking it or not, its fucking impressive to lay on the ground for 20 minutes with ice box on his back to get up, totally cold and somehow manage to make 14 kilo increased lift.
For an older one, 1987 World Championships +110kg Krastev 216kg Snatch Taranenko 265.5kg Jerk Kurlovich 266kg Jerk Weightlifting news agent channel has the video.
I don’t even know why this popped up on my feed since I know less than nothing about weightlifting but this shit is entertaining af and I’ve watched 4 of them…banter is top notch 🤣😎
First time watching your channel. I liked it.., just a little suggestion, use a compressor for your audio levels, that way we don't have to volume up or down when you get loud. Other than that, cool concept.
Why do I love squat jerks? Dunno, it honestly just looks cool. And personally, Idc about results bc weightlifting is the 4th priority of the sports I do, so I'll just do what is fun to me. I also used to have a better power jerk than split jerk, a long time ago. As for Lu, he's given interviews on it. He does it bc he is much better at it, that's really it. Sure, less margin for error and more misses but if you can go home with 20 kilos more in the total or so, every other year, you'll do it.
What benefit would there be to faking a back injury, plus it was shown that he was lying down with ice on his back majority of the time during his rest. This would be a disadvantage to the Lyu so what you are saying makes zero sense, it just sounds like you are hating on him for no reason. In addition, Li caught the bar of centre obviously he would be a bit sore after caring a 200kg+ bar that he of centred.

These guys crack me up lol. It's an hour long video with only like 60 total seconds of lifting but I'm entertained the entire time
best one yet!!! the commentary had me in stitches! can't wait for the next one .
Could you do a reaction to the Tallinn 2013 European Juniors? No particular reason...
Naw, naw nothing of note there for anyone to see 😂
So funny. I don’t know anything about weightlifting but I couldn’t stop watching
17:43 I refuse to believe this guy and Li Dayin are the same weight
Li dayin walks around 87kg and cuts for competition while lu xiaojun is around 80kg.
33:38 just give him you shoes 😂😂
All off to one side like the town of Fermoy. Excellent.
The commentary is fucking hilarious and educational at the same time. Keep it up lads
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Yessir!!!
Such a crazy session to watch again after the Olympics. So many of these lifts would be denied by the jury.
This isn't what I expected at all, but I'm in hysterics. Good stuff
Would love to see you guys react to the Men 89kg - 2018 Weightlifting World Championships

What's going on with Li Dayin?
Lu made a video explaining why he uses the squat jerk. He actually has a RUclips channel.
I love the channel!!! I was wondering about something. When you catch and then stand up with the bar, do you have to keep your arms straight?
Yes. They have to be straight, or else it will be considered a press out. And the lift will not be counted.
I could watch these all day . 😂
I try not to drink anything when I watch so I don't spray out my nose
Lu’s entire leg length is shorter than his torso.
Squat jerk is acrobatics
