Have they changed all of your history books on this? The Tiananmen Square protests, known as the June Fourth Incident (Chinese: 六四事件; pinyin: liùsì shìjiàn) in China, were student-led demonstrations held in Tiananmen Square, Beijing during 1989. In what is known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre (Chinese: 天安门大屠杀; pinyin: Tiān'ānmén dà túshā), troops armed with assault rifles and accompanied by tanks fired at the demonstrators and those trying to block the military's advance into Tiananmen Square. The protests started on April 15 and were forcibly suppressed on June 4 when the government declared martial law and sent the People's Liberation Army to occupy parts of central Beijing. Estimates of the death toll vary from several hundred to several thousand, with thousands more wounded.[2][3][4][5][6][7] The popular national movement inspired by the Beijing protests is sometimes called the '89 Democracy Movement (Chinese: 八九民运; pinyin: Bājiǔ mínyùn) or the Tiananmen Square Incident (Chinese: 天安门事件; pinyin: Tiān'ānmén shìjiàn).

@@jacobbrassard2776 simple answer is yes. but it depends on what kind of help you want and what price are you willing to pay. it's could also be the case you already have the help depending on the regulation in your country, which you can check yourself. e.g. there is ractopamine additive in meat production in the US
@@jacobbrassard2776 It will make you test positive but unless you eat highly contaminated meat everyday then you won't really see any significant performance enhancing benefits.
Being the best in the world AND being one of oldest competing weightlifters right now. To be honest, I think this "secret" is what drives Lu to perform at such a high level relative to his age and it would be great that a lot of younger/amateur weightlifters can take inspiration from him.

I feel sad that today's generation address TikToc content creators so called influencer. This guy is a real life legend! So much to learn and appreciate.
Such a man of the people!! He said he wants to have more opportunities to interact with his fans and those who love the sport, so he can share more tips with everyone
other athletes: I train so I can show people I will work twice as hard as they ever could, that I want it three times as much as they do. Lu: I want to look shredded
I think for these professional athletes, probably the best moment is when they take gold medal at such a prestigious competition, and simultaneously breaking their own personal record in life, not just in competition. To be able to bring their absolute limit to the competition, a weight that they may not lift again, and takes the gold, all in front of the whole world.
@@peachjungle there is truth to it, usually speaking, urban people can speak perfect mandarin when they want to (especially during interview) rural area people will have trouble with that even when they try to.
Hmmm, am I having a deja vu? Has he been interviewed by someone else and asked similar questions in like exactly the same location? I remember him talking a long time ago about overhead squatting and strict presses before in what seemed like the same setting. Or did I time travel or am I just over tired and imagining this ???
@Mohamed Shamloul Yes that must be it, thanks for posting ! I knew I had seen some of it before but could not remember where or when I first watched it. Then the day after posting I was thinking Weightlifting House had an earlier video. Its great content. Hopefully my lifting will be better than my memory :)
If Lu doesn't train the overhead press and the bench press than what is the main driver of upper body strength for him? I've seen him doing weighted dips and a person from the chinese team doing weighted push ups, which could be him. Wouldn't those things also create stiffness in the shoulder, arms and chest and limit his overhead mobility for the squat jerk? I'm just starting olympic weightlifting and i'm using the overhead press and bench as my main presses, so this video gets me wondering what an ideal upper body exercise selection would be for oly. For lower body we all know the fundamentals, the high bar back squat, front squat, snatch and clean pulls and deadlifts, but for upper body it doesn't seem as clear to me. I also wonder about back training creating lat tightness and restricting overhead mobility.
Remember people anything with weights require a trainer a coach who teaches you dont go in a gym a do atuff by yourself at the end of the day its all about money multiple even in bodybuilding try to afford a trainer for you its really important a therapy sessions etc etc you will probably not be injured
Who's here after Lu's gold win at Tokyo Olympics?

Lu is just insanely humble. Love his life outlook and vibe 💯
Dude is insanely strong, insanely powerful and just so damn humble.
He came across as thoughtful, humble, and disciplined. I can see why he is so beloved by his own people
Above all else, he simply loves the sport of weightlifting. That's why he is the best.
Wow! Thanks for giving us viewers what we asked for.
i can't help but be a fan after seeing how humble and kind-spirted he is
"we have to bring our own meats to restaurants" my goodness that level of detail, discipline, & dedication
It’s to avoid ractopamine added in the meat production, which possibly make an anthelet fail on drug test

Every sport, from basketball to synchronized swimming, is at its core just bodybuilding

Lu: "Come back to China and I'll teach you"

never heard of f___ (rhymes with brick bone), but looks like a scam:

I'd book my flight that night if he said that to me.
Funny how he said he wasn't focused on his brand but now they have some of the best plates on the market for a good price.

Fantastic interview. Thanks
Great video, Lu is a really nice guy, my friend i wish you a happy new year, i thank for share too many things with us
Lu xiaojun one of the most humblest athlete ever
Rare great journalism 👏 👌 👍 🙌 ❤
Good interview, nice to hear thoughts of a winner!!
You are doing lords work, WH !
Loved it and there’s no ads! Ads really spoil the flow and the level of enjoyment
This is gold
It must have been an honor to be interviewed by the greatest personality in Weightlifting. ; )
what an humble guy
Thank you for this!
I still don’t get it why this channel didn’t blow up yet 🙃
I've never clicked a video so fast in my life.
Great video. It seems like a good idea to do this with multiple athletes.
20:54 Damn. He is referring to clenbuterol and ractopamine in pork.
think about you go to restaurant with your own beef and pork, hahaha
Such underrated content! Lu is the gOAT period.
Great dude, great interview and translations!
other athletes: I train so I can show people I will work twice as hard as they ever could, that I want it three times as much as they do.
Lu: I want to look shredded
This was gold, seriously so intriguing. Lu is a very interesting guy.
Lu follows the way
Legend doesn't ever remember Lasha's name
How should he, he doesn’t know english or georgian
He won again 2021 Tokyo Olympic, legends never die!
awesome interview man
I love that he barely knows who Lasha is or where he’s from, it’s somehow endearing he isn’t a super nerd about the sport
Amazing, thank u
I love this channel
Love him, his attitude is the best
Ayoooo love this thAnks!
15:40 retiring plan
a humble world champ, gotta love that.

Legendary perfect form.
That was Awesome!!!
a real champ a great bloke, given no bullshit no swag for the interview
I knew he had that farmer strength! Mandarin speakers would recognize his accent as being rural.
I think he tried to say that he wasn't a farmer, but just from the rural area.
There are countless accents and dilates in China. There's no such a thing called rural or city accent, only accent of a particular area.
@@peachjungle there is truth to it, usually speaking, urban people can speak perfect mandarin when they want to (especially during interview) rural area people will have trouble with that even when they try to.
Удивительное дело, Lu такой известный спортсмен, а просмотров его интервью весьма мало🤔
His accent is pretty understandable, actually learned how to say power snatch and clean.
so awesome!!
such a humble champion!
Amazing
Great work
Nice Interview 👍
I like that mentality 8:15 i really like to lift those weight but i can't, it's over my capacity. Or something like that
Pure legend
Lu would be a hit at the Festivus Feats of Strength
This dude is 37! Looks like he's in his early 20s.

Woooo 🤩

305 kg squat great at his bodyweight
I see you are so strong number 1 in the world
does anybody know what are they doing in strength training other than squats and pulls?
Lo podrias subtitular en español?? Gracias
I wish there were a couple clones of xiaojun just to see how they would end up pursuing bodybuilding or powerlifting.
guy is smart
I like Lu
铁打的吕小军 流水的竞争对手
军神是真爱举重
This is completely irrelevant to this video but how tall is Lasha really? He does not look like 1.97
He's around 6"5-6 / 196, so you are about right.
軍神！！

Ha I can beat his front squat AND his back squat pretty easy
Except mine are in pounds :(

Now I see why the Chinese team have such good diets, they bring there own meat to the restaurants.
Damn... those traps!
INCREDIBLE CHINESE~RACE POWER!!!!
yo he was juiced back then..
