2:40 His snatch warmup is freaking insane, so crisp. Bam, instantly in perfect position. Doing this, even with only the bar, isn't as simple as it looks.
he has very short femurs, and since weightlifting has tons of squatting, hence his quads size. he has a long torso with long shins and short femurs, that makes his body ideal for squatting but poor for deadlifting since he doesnt have the length and as a result minimal strength from hams and glutes. if you watch closesly his main strength is just the beginning portion of the movement because hes upright and with his short femurs make it very easy during the first pull. beyond that hes instable dipping below the bar, he depends too much on his quads but has little ham and glute strength to hold that position.
@@emiliospowerballer1441 Whoa you have hawkeyes. No wonder my squat is way more than my deadlift, long torso short legs + lower back surgery 12 years ago.
@@42kritik14 it is basically the most effective clean technique - he never remotely struggles any clean I've seen him attempt. He's just weaker locking out overhead.
Evoo This is 99.9% true. The other .1% is when the person she goes for is Toshiki, Lang, or Rostami. Then nobody's at fault, it's just meant to be. Can't disrupt nature's call.
That gives me hope then. I have his proportions, and I guess similar to a lot of asians, but I always felt like my femurs were long compared to my shins, and my legs super short compared to my torso. I always felt more comfortable squatting narrow with neutral feet, so I guess I'll go switch back from flared feet :D
Legs/body proportions dont really determine your stance, your hip socket, the depth and an angle of it do. :) Having short femurs and long torso enables one to be more upright in the starting position in the snatch and clean and jerk and also in squatting as the body doesnt have to lean as much to cover the bar. Depends on the mobility too of course. Its also better for the spine and use of legs. Some people are just made for their sport :) But then...look at Usain Bolt or some of the super heavies in weightlifting like Lasha Talakhadze, the dude is the best but proportionally not so much. It just shows that genetics mean nothing. Hard work and deciation matter the most. :)
Yeah you right, but for me changing just my stance makes the most observable difference. I'm very mobile in my ankles, but I can only get so much lateral rotation from my hips, bringing my feet in a bit gives me so much more bounce and allows me to utilize my quad dominance more. I felt like I was going to turn to dust every time I experimented with a big powerlifter stance
I believe it has to do with his workers' compensation insurance as a result of his foot injury in the past. dropping it like this lowers the federation premium by 15% or more. they're with GEICO Iran.
Hookgrip, do you know if Toshiki was injured or just out of shape ? is overhead receiving position on the snatch was very woobly,he was shaking a lot here and also on the competition..
All about training hard and never giving up. If you eat clean you look lean . Don’t be jealous ! Do you even lift ?! It’s all about genetics . ...and so on and on
Why no coverage of older non competitors like me, I'm 61 165 & ligiment damage seems inevitable trying to clean, power clean or snatch 65% of my body weight...once I've power cleaned 405lbs @ 148 lbs @26 with a decade of training. Now everything hurts, takes longer to heal...

intressting at 10:20 he hit with the back foot the ground first, is that a advantage? and idk much about lifting(nothing) but why they use evrytime the same foot for front step or back step? why not alternating? lovely greetings from swiss
Just balance, you see what foot is dominant, pretty much how you have a writing hand, feels natural using it every time. There's a awesome channel here on RUclips that covers everything Olympic weightlifting related, there's a ton of info. I'll find the name for you, he talks about this in detail.
"We noticed that many of the lifters had well manicured hands except they liked growing the nail longer on the thumb -- some longer than others. I took the opportunity and asked our new friend 85kg senior lifter Zhao Yongchao why this was so and this is what he had to say. - According to Zhao Yongchao, there's a callus that gets formed on the middle finger from the usage of the hook grip. . [pausing as you all examine your hands] . This area on the middle finger is typically where the thumb will contact with the middle finger and create a lock so the barbell won't rotate and fly out of your hands during the lift. By growing the thumb nail out, it's like having a longer lever in which to lock against the callus. With this, you can have a stronger, firmer yet more relaxed grip on the bar."

Na it’s really simple you just suck
Man, still can’t get over the size of his quads!!!
nice footage ray, hope you saw the credit in the description :)

The noise of the plates sliding onto the barbell. Hnnnnnggggg
I.know right? Im.not evenintonlifting but its supernice
What the fuck are you talking about?
This dude and Lu Xiaojun have the cleanest, most aesthetically pleasing form I've ever seen.
I gotta go with Kirill Pavlov C&J on that one, agree to disagree
hookgrip lol agreed. When you're right, you're right.
+hookgrip its true, Pavlov's technique should serve as a cornerstone for teaching future generations of lifters
Hahahaha that catapult technique
Lu is a well oiled weightlifting robot
I'm a simple man, I see Toshiki, I press like
I could watch this for hours...IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL 😣
8:42 120kg like a wooden stick
i dont know but this satisfying
His Front Rack position is incredible.
Same 💯
Am i the only one who can hear that kid in the background go 'oi' after every snatch?
He might not lift the most weights in competition, but boy is he fun to watch.
most beautiful technique i'v seen. maybe not the most effective but amazing to watch.
Is he japans ace? Im new to olympic weightlifting and everywhere I go in japan weightlifting everybody talks about this guy.
@@TheCountDook yes
@@42kritik14 it is basically the most effective clean technique - he never remotely struggles any clean I've seen him attempt. He's just weaker locking out overhead.
@@TheCountDook no, Japan's 61kg and 73kg lifters are of a higher calibre.
Those plates are absolutely beautiful.
6:41 he says Omoi in japanese
it means heavy
6:38 No step backward. So perfect.
Yamamoto Senpaiiiiii!
10:55 We got Mr. Steal Your Girl here.
There is no such thing as stealing someone's girl, because that would imply that the girl who cheated is innocent when in fact she is 100% to blame.
...I feel like this isn’t about the video.
Evoo This is 99.9% true. The other .1% is when the person she goes for is Toshiki, Lang, or Rostami. Then nobody's at fault, it's just meant to be. Can't disrupt nature's call.
Id be glad if toshiki steals my girl, he is so senpai loool no homo
Watching him train is like watching a live symphony.
This is the best weightlifting into on RUclips. EVER!!
This intro never gets old
I could watch this guy lift all day.
i could watch Toshiki lift all day... so pleasing to the eyes
Toshiki senpai!!!
He is built for the sport. Short femurs, long torso. Dude is a tank!
tuptugen Are his femurs that short though?
I would say definitely. Compared to his upper body and shins. Perfect proportions.
That gives me hope then. I have his proportions, and I guess similar to a lot of asians, but I always felt like my femurs were long compared to my shins, and my legs super short compared to my torso.

damn
I could watch this all my life...
while I am here struggling to pull 180 off the floor, this man push it over his head
Im feeling the new hookgrip editing and the Music too
Samurai of weighlifting
Such smooth. Much technique.
What a monster.
Nice beats btw, Hookgrip 😄
nearly weighs 100kg, and he has unrivaled speed in the movements. Crazy talented weighlifter
what a beautiful technique...
there is also a female athlete behind him overhead pressing strict 70kg with beautiful form
Beautiful technique!
Perfection. Expect no less from a Japanese lifter. Incredible
Thank you, great video
6:49. The smoothest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
1:51 The Toshiki ShoeSlam (TM)
The leggs boy... The leggs... Its all about it
6:30あたり
Toshiki’s technique is soo aesthetically pleasing. My only criticism is his empty bar drop height, it’s way too low…
Toshiki has excellent ankle mobility 10:40
Uouuu. Simplesmente demais. 👏👏👏👏
the rigidity in his lifts really strikes me as samurai-like, so cool it comes from Japanese lifter🔥
0:34 ????
editing is on point!
10:38 it's beautiful. Tears came out somehow for this moment. Did enyone have the same emotion?
Why did Salimi drop the bar like this @0:47?
he dropped it on his foot once by accident and ever since then he's been afraid to let it drop anywhere near him
I believe it has to do with his workers' compensation insurance as a result of his foot injury in the past. dropping it like this lowers the federation premium by 15% or more. they're with GEICO Iran.
because he is a dumbass
cause he's an idiot with no brain.
hookgrip really?? Holy shit that is some funny shit lol
@10:39 dat calf muscle jiggle tho..
deliciously great, this man is FIRE
Que buena actitud Toshiki yamamoto
The real question is where do you get them shirts with the Samurai lifting overhead?
very nice
Joe Hamblin useakausa
He is the best weightlifter
Exelente!! 👏👏👏 Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷.
Hookgrip, do you know if Toshiki was injured or just out of shape ? is overhead receiving position on the snatch was very woobly,he was shaking a lot here and also on the competition..
He's been injured for a long time, but not sure if anything was specifically bothering him here
2:17 The woman military press 70kg at ease.
His power clean is insane
I don't know if I am more impressed by the weight or the super clean form...both I guess.
専門学校の教育用教材で使ってよろしいでしょうか
0:47 uh...what is he doing...
北極熊 being a dick. He already got hurt once. Guess hes being salty to the federation.
he can come back 🔥
Anyone know where I could snag a pair of those shorts he's wearing? Would love to get me a pair
Hmu if you found the shorts.
All about training hard and never giving up.
If you eat clean you look lean .
Don’t be jealous ! Do you even lift ?!
It’s all about genetics . ...and so on and on

What wrist wraps does he use? (2:23)
i also wonder
Can anyone fill me in on why he dropped on the first reps of his snatch. Just wondering if it’s a repetition thing or what ?
I just watch for the quads
2:50 Damn, those thumb nails. Is there a reason why he doesn't cut them?
yes. diane fu told once.

Thanks, cool stuff
Cute eri mitsuke in the background at 2:45? Please tell me that you have training footage of her.

Why is he dropping weights before snatching
Those quads doe
His mighty forearms. *drools
Anyone know what tshirt he’s wearing?
滅茶苦茶身体能力高いんだろうな。垂直飛びとかどれぐらいなんだろう？
Yaaaay toshikiiii
I'm so fucking jealous of his legs
anybody with a keen eye able to tell if that is the harbinger 5 inch belt?
Can someone help me out? The way Yamamoto rotates his scaps during the snatch; is that internally rotated or externally rotated? Thanks!
this should answer it: ruclips.net/video/1eydBwvmwXw/видео.htmlm37s

Well, the weight of the shaft alone is 20kg.
