Having lived in china for my whole life and being a white guy, The kid in the video is not 8, more likely 14-17. Ive seen alot. Call me raacist but im not discriminating him in any way..
people are stupid. weightlifting does not stunt growth. short femurs and short humerous are advantageous to both powerlifting and olympic weightlifting, therefore the best in the sport will typically have those qualities. it is not the weightlifting that stunted their growth. their genetic make up predisposed them to being brilliant at the sport they're in.
@BeastlyDean total conjecture and blatant ignorance. there would be more stress on a childs skeletal structure in a soccer game. running, tackling, shoving. would you let your 8 year old play soccer? yes you would. weightlifting is done in an environment where range of motion is controlled and predictable. the weightlifting will teach the kids correct motor control throughout the body, which will carryover into a soccer game or any sport, improving sturdyness and reducing catastrophic risk
@ArCxlioN i'm not saying weightlifting is bad, but there's a difference between clean+jerking 75kg and playing football (or soccer whatever). its almost twice his body weight ffs. His body is still developing and putting this undue stress on it is pretty dumb.
I guess it's his body, aslong as he knows what he's doing and the risks.. its ok. I sincerely hope his parents dont push him into doing anything he doesnt want to do.
@BeastlyDean What are you talking about? Weightlifting increases EVERYTHING. Bone density, bone strength, muscle tissue...This allows, and even complements, bone growth and overall body structure. This kid will, unless already predetermined by an existing condition, grow to his normal height and weight. Except he will be cleaning 450lbs at 150.
you know, it's funny because.. where I live, in Italy, full of kids playing soccer since age 5, it's done MOSTLY because of parents' wants. And yes, because every other kid plays soccer. So it is most accepted. Can you think of how many risks of injury are there in a hard tackle between two players? But it's normal to do soccer, just because weightlifting is less popolar.
@ArCxlioN The only problem is that most of these kids wont do weightlifting past the age of 30. Short for more then 1/2 their year is what I see it as ._.
This, although impressive, isn't actually very surprising. It's known that Chinese weightlifters do start young and for many athletes come this is the only way out of poverty for them. It's like runners from kenya - many run because else they'd be working in some farm.
Think of the time when you were 13-18, could sleep 4-5 hours a day, play sports for 4 hours straight, etc? Think of all that natural teen test and GH going into this and you get why the chinese are so successful at weightlifting.
Using scale rule, the oly disc is 17". x3 to his height even under compression and leaning forward he is approx 51" or 4ft 3".
Using scale rule, the oly disc is 17". x3 to his height even under compression and leaning forward he is approx 51" or 4ft 3".
He is no more 8 years old than I am 21! the only difference is that my birth docs are lodged in somerset house and his will be when the Chines organisation decide he is good enough to beat the world junior championships when he is 23!
darksteez has a good point, but I think it speaks volumes that there are numerous successful Oly lifters who went on to succeed in powerlifting, whereas there are very little going the other way.
Misha is the perfect example of this. Dude is an elite olympic lifter, strongman and powerlifter. There is a lot to be said about developing explosive strength as well as maximal strength. There was an article on T-Nation a couple of months ago with 3 pro strongmen. One of them stated that he believed olympic lifting was the best base for becoming a strongman.
@Darksteez I think it'd be a great base, and while many olympic lifters have done well in strongman over the years, history has proven those who started out as powerlifters to be the dominant force.
his technique is awesome. I don't know which 7 yr old has the temprament and attention span to listen to "long pull" "get under it" "big chest" etc. I'm impressed. I'm only scared for his wrists. I dont believe lifting you is unhealthy or stunts growth or anything. I do believe that injury does though and he's a little small for such explosion. Again, he's awesome though. best of luck
@robertowraith1993 you are right in the aspect that powerlifters are the strongest as I know someone who used to be the worlds strongest man consecutively for 6 years (AUDLEY BAKER) and his lifts were 290kg bench 390kg squat and 400kg deadlift not many people can compete with that.
Weightlifting stunting growth is a myth. The only way it could happen is if you damage (specifically fracture) the growth plate, which is located at your knees. You are far more likely to fracture your growth plate in soccer or football if someone hits you around the knee.
You are correct, there are many growth plates. I am no doctor, but all scientific evidence I find does not point to weightlifting being an easy way to stunt your growth. Injuries do occur in weightlifting, yes, but broken bones are very rare.
For more information on weightlifting and stunted growth, go to google scholars and type in
"growth plates and weightlifting" or "weightlifting and stunted growth"
olympic lifting is also a lot hard on the body. powerlifters have strong knee joints whereas oly lifters get half crippled from squatting way below to catch the weight underneath, as well oly lifting can seriously mess up the shoulder and back and heart. if you're a beginner in weightlifting you have to start with powerlifting exercises, otherwise you're just looking for trouble.
@tldevilsh Actually olympic lifting is a lot harder on the hips than it is on the knees. The knees are never in any trouble unless you lose your knee flexion or buckle your knees in. This means that as long as you keep your hamstrings tensed you will be fine (don't put your hammies on your calfs).
I will however say that I've seen plenty of people deadlifting in a way that may cause them to get a hernia while I am yet to see somebody doing that poorly on olympic lifts.
The form of this little kid was near perfect. He is obviously receiving great coaching. Clearly China will be the power to beat in the future of weightlifting.
I like and respect both powerlifters and olympic weightlifters but am at a loss as to why people are always bitching about who is stronger. Add into the mix Bodybuilders and Strongmen and we could be here all day. Just realise that the people at the top in all four disciplines are stronger than you'll ever be and you can do a lot worse than to include components of all four disciplines in your own programme. Now shut the fuck up and go lift.
@Darksteez I actually read a debate between national level powerlifters and olympic lifters about whether you should include box squats or power cleans to increase your strength. What I took out of it? The box squat is a supplemental exercise specifically developed for power lifting, and same thing for PCs for olys. Power lifting trains absolute strength (ability to move an object) whereas Olys train explosive/speed strength (the ability to move an object in as little time possible).
@kreuz. that's because olympic weightlifters don't use all the accessories such as wraps, suits, etc. besides powerlifters don't go into a full depth squat.
@giantmidget08 Cause the guy videotaping isn't from the states. Because that kid looks even REMOTELY like a 17 year old. Sorry, for some puberty hits late, but unless he has deficient testosterone levels his entire life (which is impossible as it causes decrease muscle development/bone density), there's no way in hell he's past at most 12 yrs old. Stay forever jealous murkancunt.
I came to watch an awesome video where an 8 year old lifts the weight of an adult man over his head. And here all of you are having a powerlifter vs. olympic lifter bitchfest!
@SuperSteele88 No. An olympic lifter cannot pull or squat or bench nearly the kind of weight a powerlifter does. Likewise, a powerlifter cannot generate nearly enough speed in conjunction with strength to move the kinds of weight an olympic lifter does. Don't be ignorant. Two different sports, two different training types.
@AashiquiTheri Dont be an idiot. Most kids grow up and want to play football or other sports, not lift weights. The talent is with the numbers and im afraid powerlifting just doesnt have the numbers. Same with olympic lifting in a lot of countries, but their are some countries where the top talented kids do it.
Talent is different, im not sure you know what it means. Example, if some sprinters trained for lifting, would they be better than most lifters? Powerlifting is not the real McCoy.
@SuperSteele88 Oh, I see what you mean. We are arguing two different things. By "talent", I assumed you meant it takes more talent to be an olympic lifter than a powerlifter. I agree with you that there is more talent by-the-numbers in olympic lifting as it's the more popular sport. And I also agree about the kids not wanting to lift weights. One of my friends, for example, has no idea why I powerlift. It makes no sense to him. But if you love it, you do it. Regardless of popularity.
@AashiquiTheri I love lifting weights (to help another sport) and have very solid numbers in nearly all lifts. The only thing i don't like is when someone says they can squat more than me when i go atg without any support at all and they barely even walk the weights out by themselves, let alone the suit, wraps, belt, only going to parallel. Some people have no idea
I dunno if the weight and age are legit, but that form was nice as hell. I warn you, Chinese kids look alot younger than they actually are, he coulda been 12 or 13 for all we know.
Funny how people with no clue about strength sport try to save their egos with "child abuse" and "Fake" comments. So good you didn`t train in your youth and probaly never trained hard in your life. Because it is unhealthy and dangerous and just "scientifically wrong". This kid may become incerdible strong and successfull, but atleast you are healthy (and tall) not like those stupid weightlifters, who just don´t know how to train "right", like thes clueless chinese weightlifting choaces....
@AashiquiTheri you kind of can, oh so they will let it fall on him and be like "oh we cant spot him sorry" the less they could do is stand behind him incase he falls backwards trust me its happened in my weight training class a group of kids werent paying attention to a kid doin this same lift and he fell backwards luckly a different kid in a different group saw it and caught one side of the bar so it didnt fall on him
@KreuzDerKrieg The difference between olympic lifters and powerlifters is that oly lifters perform powerlifting competition movements as accessory movements to their training, giving little importance to them. Powerlifters make the little exercises used by oly lifters worth a competition, what is next, a high pull competition? On the other hand, when was the last time you, as a powerlifter, put something from the floor overhead, utilising all of your muscles in less than two seconds? Exactly.

Sorry, for some puberty hits late, but unless he has deficient testosterone levels his entire life (which is impossible as it causes decrease muscle development/bone density), there's no way in hell he's past at most 12 yrs old. Stay forever jealous murkancunt.

I came to watch an awesome video where an 8 year old lifts the weight of an adult man over his head. And here all of you are having a powerlifter vs. olympic lifter bitchfest!

There is much more talent in Olympic lifting. Powerlifting is just the left overs.
SuperSteele88 11 months ago
@SuperSteele88 No. An olympic lifter cannot pull or squat or bench nearly the kind of weight a powerlifter does. Likewise, a powerlifter cannot generate nearly enough speed in conjunction with strength to move the kinds of weight an olympic lifter does. Don't be ignorant. Two different sports, two different training types.

@AashiquiTheri Dont be an idiot. Most kids grow up and want to play football or other sports, not lift weights. The talent is with the numbers and im afraid powerlifting just doesnt have the numbers. Same with olympic lifting in a lot of countries, but their are some countries where the top talented kids do it.
Talent is different, im not sure you know what it means. Example, if some sprinters trained for lifting, would they be better than most lifters? Powerlifting is not the real McCoy.
SuperSteele88 11 months ago
@SuperSteele88 Oh, I see what you mean. We are arguing two different things. By "talent", I assumed you meant it takes more talent to be an olympic lifter than a powerlifter. I agree with you that there is more talent by-the-numbers in olympic lifting as it's the more popular sport. And I also agree about the kids not wanting to lift weights. One of my friends, for example, has no idea why I powerlift. It makes no sense to him. But if you love it, you do it. Regardless of popularity.

@AashiquiTheri I love lifting weights (to help another sport) and have very solid numbers in nearly all lifts. The only thing i don't like is when someone says they can squat more than me when i go atg without any support at all and they barely even walk the weights out by themselves, let alone the suit, wraps, belt, only going to parallel. Some people have no idea

Funny how people with no clue about strength sport try to save their egos with "child abuse" and "Fake" comments. So good you didn`t train in your youth and probaly never trained hard in your life. Because it is unhealthy and dangerous and just "scientifically wrong". This kid may become incerdible strong and successfull, but atleast you are healthy (and tall) not like those stupid weightlifters, who just don´t know how to train "right", like thes clueless chinese weightlifting choaces....

@sharktoothking10 You can't really spot a clean and jerk...
AashiquiTheri 11 months ago
@AashiquiTheri you kind of can, oh so they will let it fall on him and be like "oh we cant spot him sorry" the less they could do is stand behind him incase he falls backwards trust me its happened in my weight training class a group of kids werent paying attention to a kid doin this same lift and he fell backwards luckly a different kid in a different group saw it and caught one side of the bar so it didnt fall on him

@KreuzDerKrieg The difference between olympic lifters and powerlifters is that oly lifters perform powerlifting competition movements as accessory movements to their training, giving little importance to them. Powerlifters make the little exercises used by oly lifters worth a competition, what is next, a high pull competition? On the other hand, when was the last time you, as a powerlifter, put something from the floor overhead, utilising all of your muscles in less than two seconds? Exactly.
