Easily the most motivational series on youtube even if you're trying to reach a high level in a different sport. To be able to see one of the greatest weightlifters of all time putting in the hard work day in and out definitely pushes you to do the same.
@@Chessmapling Of course, everybody has those days. The trouble is you need to just have the discipline to just go do it anyway, can be a very hard thing if you've reached a bit of a plateu in progress.
Your videos have shown me how much the foundation of lifting is in the smallest, most basic things like correct posture and form. I'm no longer in any rush to lift heavy. My entire goal now is to perfect my form, to get comfortable on the light weights, first, and only then aspire to lift heavy. Thanks, Lu.
NOT necessarily. You HAVE to lift heavy. Theres no way around it. Yes your form will be disastrous at first but as you become stronger your form will improve.
@@nikobellic7586 Even Lu himself said in an interview that form must come before the weight, he was correcting squat jerk journalists clean and jerk form said something like 'why do you always train so heavy you don't need to do that, go back to like 60-70% fix your form'
This is a common monetization of Western IP. As the West built Asia, specifically China in this case, most of the West's intellectual property was transferred and claimed by nationalistic tyrannical policies. So, while you won't get a look inside many Western training facilities, China has no worry that they area sharing any secrets - because they were built by the Western facilities who protect their methods. From this position, Chinese government can 1. get great publicity and money by releasing this material which will get people to click in because the Western institutions do not release it and 2. have no fear of any secrets being revealed because all of it is second hand information. Interesting!
It's honestly nice to see some raw footage of athletes. 90% of the fitness vids on YT are all about getting the best angles and lighting, training with the bros/gals, joking around, and talking about what the eat, supplements, etc, but you never really see any raw footage. Don't get me wrong, most of us including myself like those short clips of the gym hawties or the nice bro lifts, but watching Lu Xiaojun and this raw footage makes me what to go lift just as hard. Keep up the work my guy.
Yea. Alot of people were first shocked at how much muscle he lost, but that was using Bodybuilders as the standard whereby there are more muscle retention even if you stop working out for a substantial period of time. China weightlifters are more 1-2 rep per set and climb up crazily. There's barely any time under tension, just pure explosiveness. That's why even as he lost his muscles, he can still do "heavy" from the start easily.
@@albin123003 some people are just a fatty to begin with. If they stop training, they will just be a couch potato. Hence they are surprised that Lu loses so much weight and can't wait to jump on PED use. Of course, he does, but that's not the reason he lost weight. He lost weight because he stopped training for a year. What's surprising about that? Lu is a lean and fit guy, just check his videos when he was young and competed in 69kg youth category. Bunch of dumb fatty fuck...
Hate and jealousy is imaginable, most of people see muscle lost automatically speculate PEDs. Most of these people clearly never lifted weights in their life time. No one stays in peak form forever, especially when taking one full year off without proper training. This maybe surprising, YES you lose muscle when not training early as 3 weeks, this backfires harder to elite athletes. Again, Lu was never a “big guy” rather small, but with incredible strength. he’s 5’7/8 180pounds at his peak, now sitting 165 pounds. Losing 15 pounds of muscle in a time span in a one year is normal.
As someone who's been lifting 9 years naturally, speaking to pro enhanced lifters & long time natural lifters, your spitting out poop, my friend. He was on peds. He got off when he took the break. Pretty obvious.
Most people here are negative and not into Chinese sportsman. They just want to bring down any Chinese or China so that they are joyful. I think they lift their fingers and play with keyboard and their little bro below that is why they never have the strength to workout...plenty of Fat As in this channel.
He's dead lifitng 190 much nicer than 150kg. Funny to see it, but that how it works sometimes. Just like it's easier to squat with good form 80 than zero.
Abi pazartesi kutsal göğüs günü değil mi ya bu adam neden göğüs çalışmamış sanki sadece üst göğüs çalışacak gibi hissediyordum ama harbi çalışmıyor kutsallığı kalmadı bu fıtnessın
I'm still wondering why they're doing dips. It might be to keep the chest not being underdevelopped, but you can clearly see it working when he's pulling. I'm not again dips, this is an amazing exercise for strength and growth, but maybe they got another goal behind doing this one in pro weightlifting that i'm missing ?
If yo look closely at 01:56 , 02:12 , his left foot raises during lifting heavy weights while the right foot is planted on floor...seems like some muscle memory or small error in technique
The only concern is that due to his age, recovery time is longer so it would take longer to get back to his peak form or even reach his peak. Taking a year off at his age, might prove to be damaging.
Its weird to see him so small compared to his old self ,probably because hes off the sauce right now but im glad hes still pulling huge numbers,sure they aint No PR for him but hes been weightlifting for a decade.
He will compete in 73 kg category, because there won't be 77 kg or 81 kg classes in Paris Olympics. Xiaojun has to drop 8 kg of bodyweight. This is the reason he looks much smaller.
Arent you supposed to not bend your knees inwards when going up doin squats? Im talking about the Movement on Tuesday 4:10 when he does the 180kg Front Squats specifically
As long as the knee isn’t twisting, his knees drive backwards which is in line with his foot. Totally reasonable as the weight gets heavier, they aren’t caving.
No u really don't want to but when u're moving such a weight that inward bend is just something that happens with high bar squats and it's not bending so far as something he would take the time to correct it because of the depth he squats he can't point his toes far out enough to widen his hips far enough to even try to fix it.
@@jrizzoplatizzo4011 NO. you become bigger if you eat bigger . With roids too . if u need to stay in a weight category you don’t get bigger . But you take steroids same . You think a 70 kg lifter can do 270 kg back squat natural ? drug free ? you should wake up
@@riogen2826 , I'm broke and currently have no gym membership yet, so my workouts are home-based. But I know what you're thinking. It sounds crazy, right? HAHAHAHAA. I mean, who would lift 300 kilograms at his 48-kilogram bodyweight? That's pretty insane, and you can laugh at me for that, but let us let the future tell the truth. That's all I can say.

Yea, I'd quit mid warm up. Lol
It shows that to be the best you have to be consistent and just make each day's work count. I'm sure there were many days he didn't want to train.
I am a climber and I am absolutely loving this shit! Its just a master of his craft at work.

@@miro4013 nah. Have you seen Chinese athletes do rows??? Lmao.
Heavy is best way to go. With straps.
@C stretching and resting is part of training. Of course you can't deadlift a minivan. But with straps almost anything is possible.
Can we just appreciate that we get this much insight into one of the best of all time’s training routine? It’s so rare to get this much information!

Easy 200 kg snatch deadlift, easy 130 kg snatch. Already looking strong
Looking fuller as each week passes
this guy increases muscle faster than i increase fat
Keep in mind he's also on steroids. So that"s why he's able to do it
OP, you know these guys are blasting right?
@@samuelfvalim7418 except they’re off cycle right now.
@@samuelfvalim7418 he is probably off cycle right now so this is muscle memory they will start blasting when the competition date draws near

i can't tell if he's just always smiling, his technique is poetry in motion
just seeing how he returns his form is the best type of motivation. muscle memory is an amazing thing
This guy is the reason i almost perfected my squat form
Drop a video of that squat
all his back muscle starts to come back, the angry-look face of the back much anticipated.

That 200kg snatch grip deadlift @2:09. JEEZ man! 👏
Every rep looks like the most painful thing he’s ever experienced and yet the weight continues to go up. It’s unbelievable lol
It's coz he's trying to move every weight as fast as possible

Doesn't look like his did..

Looking a little leaner this week
What's the rest time between sets?
Ĺooks like he's just getting his strength back. The lifts are so engrained in him that he doesn't need to do them so much right now.
The only concern is that due to his age, recovery time is longer so it would take longer to get back to his peak form or even reach his peak. Taking a year off at his age, might prove to be damaging.
Also he seems to lack the mobility for squat jerk
morning motivation
is it his whole routine for the given day I mean sets/reps - or just the highlights?
Its weird to see him so small compared to his old self ,probably because hes off the sauce right now but im glad hes still pulling huge numbers,sure they aint No PR for him but hes been weightlifting for a decade.

Need weeks 9 and 10.

sweden is not the only place where people use that brand
When you have to lift 419 because the coaches don't allow 420 during the camp
Does someone know the brand of his shoes?
