Great Video of Chinese Weightlifting ( Courtesy CCTV)

[jeiison]

this may be a stupid question but do these guys go isoloation exercises like curls, extensions, presses and stuff like that? because they are seriously ripped!!

[jiggasnap]

@jeiison Yes they do. lifthard dot com has details about their training, from a dude who went and trained with them.

[bartosx]

always find it amazing to see chinese weightlifters. there bodies arent that big but damn they're strong.. maybe weightlifting is a lot of mental power if you truly believe in yourself i bet you can do a lot more then you expect hehe..

[patrickforrester40]

I always find it weird to see Mao Ze Dong coaching the chinese national team

[fordesphysicalfitnes]

NICE !

[TheGuy123321]

[VastChoirs]

The song the women sings at 1:03 is hypnotic.

[mike2011989]

inspirational

[irishstomp]

What exercise was that 33 seconds in? A modified sumo stance power shrug? I've never seen an oly lifter do anything like that before.

[wullebulle123]

[fir3bender]

who said the chinese aren't big

[Voodoofreak35]

@fir3bender White crackass hillbillies who got their fucking asses whooped by Asians. Pretty much ever since the Cold War, Americans just stopped winning Gold in the Olympic Weightlifting. Before then, the Russians dominated the sport preceded by we Americans for like just a couple years. The only thing we are good at now are baseball and basketball.

[ozwunder69]

@Voodoofreak35 you know even shit turns white eventually, jealous wacko jacko

[Dubzasterz]

@fir3bender there not, how ever there training methods and nutrition are far above ours so that gives them an edge.

[chinnerss]

are they training in a airline hanger!  look at the size of that gym! Jealous.

[pawellittle]

I see 2:56 great grip exercise !!!

[damastr12]

They seem to do just about every exercise known to man for all round development, complete opposite of the bulgarians

[panjabiwarrior]

what sort of training do the bulgarians do??

[damastr12]

The Bulgarians use a very limited number of exercises, maybe 5 at the most, performed at very high intensities.

[Weightlifeter]

The bulgarians focus on doing just the classic lifts during training and they go heavy. They'll do squats other than that but that's about it.

[glcb7]

sweet vid... geez they all have gigantic quads awesome weightlifters

[bigsoma95]

what is this exsercise for?at the 2.08.

[Aliks96]

i wonder the same,he doesn`t have a straight back.

[yobolion]

I think a Snatch high Pull with too much weight on it and a rounded back! No wonder they all have back pain!

[kevino999]

do u kno wen this vid was taken? b4 or after beijing?

[eigeoiegf45]

before

[kirksman]

2008, Chinese national team, gym is opened.

0.55-The Le Maosheng and SHi Jiyong are playin around, Competing handstands. Shi lost because he's about 14Kg's heavier.

Yang Xia is cheering them on.

"I've moved up to 69KG's category and I can compete with Zhang Guozheng. This is a good thing, as the 2008 Oly's in China, we can fight. Any olympic gold medal is good, we get paid a lot. Then it depends on you, where you'd like to expand"

[kevino999]

shi zhiyong's got an awesome stable hand stand on 1:16!

[kevino999]

i wish der was subtitles

[Aliks96]

What is that at 0:34?

[irmccabe]

I think it's a sumo deadlift

[kirksman]

Apparently, they do use it occasionally for high repetition works. Usually just a single set.

[trance4mation]

very high quality video, keep this up forever plz :)

[Sarge343]

Woah, at 3.07, is that a hack squat machine in an olympic weightlifting gym?!

[eigeoiegf45]

Looks like it, maybe they use it from time or time or something

[shortfatandcrass]

@Sarge343 They probably just use it as a towel rack. That's what I use the hack squat machine at my gym for.

[lovelymadmex]
