Lu Xiaojun, 2009 World Records.wmv

[whattheholf91]

He weighs the same as me and he just threw my max deadlift over his head. Feels bad man.

[got3bnikes]

Dumb ass asians

[MartinVin1111]

This chink's ripped.

[tldevilsh]

he hurt his adams apple

[Fatpandas2014]

on his failed cj attempt... he was pointing to his clavicle; wonder if he hurt it?

[atgcuz]

@Fatpandas2014 i think he meant the bar cut off his blood supply to his brain. it happens once in a while

[Fatpandas2014]

@atgcuz thanks! i didn't know that was a thing that happened lol (newb to lifting) :)

[laiosto]

I love this bloke,he has to be the cheeriest bloke in the sport.

[DeadbeatXT]

I get boners watching this guy.

[ChowMeinChowdown]

Those legs look like they could power launch a rocket.

[MrBlinkAFI]

ASIAN POWER

[nilbreth]

Where can i see his measures? Neck, Waist, chest, biceps, those things?

Im 1,73 an weighting 78 and wanted to do some comparisons.

[ThleTruth]

has anybody seen a pink sock fall to the floor from too much weight, my friend told me he seen a power lifter possibley die from losing his pink sock....makes me light headed thinkin about such horror...

[Socomite]

Also, they're playing Summer Song by Satriani in the background... as if this clip wasn't awesome as is, that just ups it into total epicness.

[gangstalyrics504]

super powered goku!!!

[gangstalyrics504]

174 kilo?? how much weight is that? these chinese dudes dominate in weight lifting

[gheckert]

@gangstalyrics504 174kg is 382.8 pounds. Not bad for a guy who weighs only 167 pounds! This guy is amazing!

[vano110]

@gheckert

Yeah... "Not bad"... he's... like... the best in the whole world.

[HenGlinz]

lmao his quad sweep so big 

[Socomite]

Those squat jerks are absolutely unreal. I can't even fathom how strong you have to be to OHS that weight again after recovering from the clean... yet Lu Xiaojun just does it like it's nothing. Awesome.

[frothyshoes]

That dude is fuckin JACKED

[Redkister]

I don't get this. Whats the point ? Can someone explain lol... I mean, as i see it its like "YEA, I CAN LIFT THIS" and drop back down, whats the point...

[TsangBokyan]

@Redkister

if you've never done anything like this, you wouldn't realize how technical it really is. just try deadlifts first instead - but dont fuck up your back, lol.

[AeacusCanti]

@Redkister They're pushing the limits of what is thought possible for the human biomachine. How can you not find that interesting?

And don't pretend that strength and athleticism in general is not useful. Not to mention it's a very enjoyable thing to do, and exhilarating to compete.

[needabloodyname]

@Redkister You could take that question and apply it to literally any achievement in life, indeed, what is the point?

[skirts365]

Chinese shows thigh development--Korean much less so, yet strength is there. No matter which committee of suit & tie wearers says what, Varbanov still reigns as best clean & jerk in this class (actually 2 kilos lighter) and almost made 217.5 I'd bet my last cent that Pablo Lara could have beat that 212, his 208 was so easy. At the time, 208 was all he needed for WR. And did not Perepetchenov at 77 snatch 175 I think so why is he being painted out of the picture? It seemed easy lift.

[yonkersfugitive]

@skirts365 if he didnt lift it, you cant argue it...

[skirts365]

@yonkersfugitive Sure I can argue it. That 212 failed, Varbanov's 217.5 failed. But V still cleaned 5.5 kilos more weighing 2 kilos less. Weigh 4.4 pounds less, clean and recover with 12 pounds more---more impressive . Varbanov got a 215.5 three white lights they can say it didn't happen, but it did.

[yonkersfugitive]

@skirts365 umm....nevermind. I was just simply saying if they didnt do the complete lift it doesnt count.

[TheGuy123321]

@skirts365 perepetchenov 175 was at 85

[skirts365]

@TheGuy123321 Somewhere I read it was at 77, that page no longer exists. Bob Hoffman in Strength & Health said Bill March pressed 390 at 198, but it was around 228. Errors do take place. The 174 snatch to me doesn't overshadow Sagir's 172.5 for various reasons, except officially, it does. The Korean's thighs have to tape several inches less than Xiaojun, but he seemed stronger recovering. Anomalies of body types remain interesting. Bet these men are on bioactive herbs.

[npacebg]

@skirts365 lol @ bioactive herbs

[skirts365]

@npacebg While you're laughing they're taking cordyceps---now keep laughing see if it makes you stronger.

[some5672]

I like how he was so joyous he forgot to bow.

[victorianenglish]

@some5672 : ) yeah, right ?

[JacktheDaniels]

Sa is a beast.

[natzilover]

he make it look so easy lol

[francoisiswatching]

Want to kill the cameraman pretty bad… stupidest plan ever @ 3:10

[MusicforMe123]

The man has muscles in his armpits.

[Realitystrength]

@MusicforMe123 the muscles under his pits are called "lats"

[Desslan]

@Realitystrength

Actually I think you will find they are called the Serratus Anterior

[SteU4IA]

@Desslan serratus anteriors dont bulge out like that

[Og3990]

3:14

beast mode activated

[epiclulz0rz]

superior genetics

[iqof14]

more than i deadlift. sniffles.

[Cixelated]

I'm 18 with a 155 snatch. I will beat this record. I swear it.

[jernmyre]

fuckin chinks.. we disqualify all the best european and pan american athletes with doping test that we are not allowed to do on the chinese!! Ridicoulous.. The gooks can dope all they want. Go check out the IWF website under doping disqualified athletes and you will not find ONE chinese. Why do you think this is??

[RisingStars]

@jernmyre not surprised, chinese are dirty communist

[DBBMino]

@jernmyre I'm not sure if you're blind or not but if you look at the IWF site you'll find a few suspended Chinese athletes, however you'd definently expect much more if you look at how much Iranian/Bulgarian and most other countries have alot of suspended athletes.

[jernmyre]

@DBBMino That depends on how you define " a few". I counted 2 measly chinese athletes from 2006 till today.

And you never even HEARD of any of them!! Totally unknown athletes. Look at all the TOP competitors from european countries get suspended!

[DBBMino]

@jernmyre From 2006 there are only 2 Chinese athletes who are suspended indeed, which I neither heard of both of them. (can't find them on Google either)

I don't think it's China who is to blaim but more likely on which countries the IWF focusses on. (Russia mostly..)

[ffaithii]

@jernmyre Jealous man is jealous.

[mrmag1cc]

Holy shit, hes got some big ass legs.

[Socomite]

@mrmag1cc yeah, hauling 170+ kg over ones head repeatedly in an explosive fashion tends to do that

[mrmag1cc]

@Socomite Orlly?

[Socomite]

@mrmag1cc it might be hard to fathom, but yes indeed that is the case.

[mrmag1cc]

@Socomite quite hard indeed.

[Socomite]

@mrmag1cc fear not, some day you'll get it. I believe in you random youtube guy!

[mrmag1cc]

@Socomite Strong with hope, I am.

[FitCuber65]

Anybody know how tall he is?

[jakebrigand]

@FitCuber65 Lu is 5"8, which is pretty tall for his weight

[FromTskhinval]

perfect technique, and such an amazing С&J

[DBBMino]

Does anybody know why China choose for Li Hongli rather then Lu Xiaojun in the 2008 Bejing Olympics?

[capscave]

@DBBMino Lu wasn't 77kgs at the time.

[VastChoirs]

He always looks so happy!

[pprimalPerformance]

Awesome performance! Awesome physique! Great technique!

[tldevilsh]

million dollar smile.

[qweruaxdfn]

he should shave his head to drop his slight bodyweight advantage over the other lifters

[Kanny]

@qweruaxdfn he doesnt' need to ahha

[MellonVegan]

@qweruaxdfn tell me about it, mine reaches down to the middle of my back :D

[Sleepingpillz]

@MellonVegan Are you caucasian?

[MellonVegan]

@Sleepingpillz If caucasian means what Wikipedia says it does (read: of European descent), then yup.

[tldevilsh]

thats a good looking cat

[altrocksnp]

@MrCarlWeber

he probably could, usually you choose a weight you can triple for the opener ;D

[LayEmOut60]

How tall is Xiaojun? Anybody know?

[ILoveSweetApple]

@LayEmOut60 he is 172 cm tall, about 5' 8.

[LayEmOut60]

@ILoveSweetApple Oh wow, that's taller than I'd thought. That only makes this all the more impressive, if you ask me. Thanks man.

[mmamilano]

the reason he didn't attempt to jerk 211 is because, according to lu xiaojun himself, he was blacking out.

[skirts365]

Pistons for legs but the Korean's legs impress more. More slender, same strength, maybe a bit more.

[andyman820]

@skirts365 i wish i had legs like that.

[cocotocolo]

Excelente técnica, sin duda los chinos tienen la mejor técnica a nivel mundial!

[idiewoodkwe09093]

very strong

[idiewoodkwe09093]

very strong

[ChinaNite89]

Man he's RIPPED from head to toe. I bet if he steps on to a basketball court he can fly with the best of them.

[weightliftingisgreat]

@ChinaNite89 He can snatch 174kgs. Why in the world would he want to throw a ball through a hoop : S

[ChinaNite89]

@weightliftingisgreat lol wut I'm saying is Lv Xiaojun must have like a 44inch+ vertical jump

[LayEmOut60]

@ChinaNite89 He probably does. When coaches are recruiting athletes for this sport they look for who can jump the highest, so the two go together very well. I'm not trying to sound like a know it all, I just found it interesting.

[LesFayes]

damn Sa cleaned the weight like it was nothing

[Ringnesbest]

Now that's impresive! :)

[onehitok]

WOw, the lifter bar almost broke O_O

[jakebrigand]

looks like he could've made that 211 c&j

[LayEmOut60]

He has the prettiest squat jerk I've ever seen. I think he may be my new favorite lifter.

[jakebrigand]

is he lifting almost as much as the top lifters of 85kg class?

[ErNBuRn1]

pretty much lol 174 211 would have given him first place in the 85s pretty impressive if you think about it

[alexinjapan123]

Lu is a friggin champ, probably my favourite lifter at the moment. I really hope he doesn't go the way of Taner Sagir

[illouie]

@alexinjapan123 Everybody loves a winner huh? lol

[c1fuzzles]

Sa should have that 212 CJ. /so close.

[JuSeo91]

hes got same form as Pyross Dimas for PC

[Sarge343]

@JuSeo91 not really...

[Sarge343]

@JuSeo91 chiiiiiill, I mean he does use a power/squat jerk, but his form is not that like, he doesn't pop his quads as much and he doesn't swing his head back like Dimas does

[alexinjapan123]

3:30 is the best moment in the entire clip.

Also Lu Xiaojun is probably the happiest weightlifter I've ever seen. Go china!

[giuseppesamba]

Lu Xiaojun yesss

[McConnellSteve]

it would be nice to see those sort of weights-already looking forward to the international comps next year.

Once again, hats off Frank

[c1fuzzles]

Dam Good Lifting! Xiaojun is freaking fast and strong as hell! His Squat Jerk is Amazing.

Thanks for posting Frank. Keep them coming! I appreciate it.

[Sarge343]

This guy has a big future. Perfect form, and he's only been training weightlifting for 7 years... Started at 18!!

[Weightlifter10000]

personally i think this guy should have won sports personality of the year award!

[mikeyburger1]

this guy is brilliant!!!

[rohitf117]

i felt really sad for Sa Yuk ,,,,,he almost 99% made it but bad luck :(

[mikeyburger1]

same, i didnt realise he had a second attempt and actually had it there! thats a shame!!

[athleticchak]

@rohitf117

yeah, i also felt depressed for Lu cant break Clean&jerk record, he can do it

[obezana]

@rohitf117 oh thanks for giving it away.

[McConnellSteve]

i have this recorded myself but its a pleasure to see it again anyway!!!

looked good for 180 i rekon

[Sarge343]

holy shit, 180 at 77...

[McConnellSteve]

well....im hoping so anyways!!!!

[rohitf117]

hmm 180 ..cant say ..but he looks capable of 177+210 in his top form ...i wud love to see Lu doing 180 & Sa Yuk doing 215
