I wonder why he favors a power jerk and doesnt split jerk, as u see around 6:00 only a tiny bit too low turns the jerk into an overhead squat which is impossible with these weights in my book (the term "impossible" doenst apply to these guys anyway)
@Doncanutcho It's called a squat jerk and some chinese lifters aim at it. They don't power jerk because it doesn't allow mistakes with bar path/stability. Like in the snatch, they can stabilize the bar on the way down. Overhead squatting with c&j weights is no problem for them since they squat very heavy anyway
I expect he will try and redeem himself and attend the Asian Games in November which is in home territory and will probably try to break the record again with 175 kg for his 2nd and 3rd attempt since he will have less competition to worry about.
@canelifter111 No doubt. In the 2009 worlds he was flawless and so full of energy. That was one of the best performances I have ever seen from anyone period.
The coaches Decision for Lu doesn't make sense. He needed 203 to take the lead on bodyweight. Instread they weight for the Armenian to take his third at 205 which he misses forcing Lu to take 206. this cost him the championship.
@powmongo Why did Lu try 206 when he only needed 203? I feel like that's what you're getting at with this comment, but I don't understand the situation completely.

@Doncanutcho People who power or squat jerk typically are very squat dominate overall, so the motion is not difficult on their legs.

@tldevilsh lol no kidding, best view IMO is the side view, so you can see the bar path

Such a bad status, unwise to try world record instead of Gold medal

@powmongo i think it was already wrong decision to take 175 instead of 173 in snatch. was a great battle!
