As a 36-year-old who just started olylifting last year, Lyu has been the most inspring and I can't wait to see him on stage again. Even if he doesn't win, it's still a massive motivation to those over mid-30s like me.
He took a long break and also had to trim down because of the IWF reduced the weight divisions to 5 classes. So he’ll be competing in 73kg instead of the previous 81kg
If one sees him on the street and does not know he's a pro lifter, nobody knows he's a very strong man. Such a slim body and he's capable of lifting so much more.
Great video, love the music, perfect for Lu the legend! May I ask, for the deficit snatch pulls why is he using rounded back? For more strength in the erectors or something? Thanks for the great content!
@@cloud-ny5ux wells thats natural and can't be stopped if you stop lifting, however you will not lose your gains as fast as someone who has gear. And your muscles memory is with you.
I posted this in Weightlifting House channel as well - Why are they removing the weight classes where China dominates in? First they did this to Tian Tao and now Lu Xiaojun. It's like the weightlifting federation have something against China always winning.
Shi Zhiyong will dominate 73, and Tian Tao is more of a natural 89 than 96. Li Dayin has the height and frame to more than comfortably bulk up to 89 (which it looks like he already has).
Im wondering, he’s still super strong considering being off juice for some time, how do you have that kind of strength? Like genetics or special training? Or both
Does anyone care to speculate what Lu’s cycle may be? I’m thinking 8 iu hgh per day Anavar, halotestin Short ester test, primo, mast, npp, eq Various peptides and possibly a tiny amount of insulin post workout to shuttle the carbs quickly into the muscles. Anyone experienced want to critique this?
Let the man take his drugs like all the rest . Clearly the goat. We don’t want to watch clean lifts. I want to see people at certain weight points continue pushing the limit to what the body can do.
His pro career spands 20 years at the top. Why wouldn’t he take time off? Plus the body needs time off after years of steroids. Don’t wanna be like the bodybuilders dropping like flies
he have no choice but to, the olympic federation cut off the 81kg weight class. They did the same to Tian Tao's old weight class. It's really starting to look like the federation is trying to find ways to cut down all the top athletes in China.
@@RecordSisi He took a break from the PEDs to take care of his body and not overdoing it, because of possible side effects. He still trained, but only did the minimum of what was necessary. However, he looks already a little bit bigger in the most recent video of week 3.
0:45 I don't know how he manages to avoid spine injuries with such a form, look at the low back rounding while pulling heavy and doing this for years. I don't know how he doesn't have spondylolisthesis, herniated disc, facet joint damage... It would be very interesting to see his spine MRI
@@RigoGab Actually in many cases in regular people it can not. Read what the spine can tolerate. Very little shear force, torque force. It can tolerate compression while it is vertical, with angles and changing of vectors damage starts to occur and cumulative effect starts to build up. Over years you will get injured. That's why Lu is in the elite levels, perfect leverages, steroid use, perfect recovery...
I'm totally guessing, but maybe he was healing his body. I hear some martial artists do that. But for a year? Nice video, I think Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" would have worked.
Bro. The man had been in constant training for like 15 years, may be more. 1 year is alright. And it's probably his 1st week and he is already lifting a decent weight. Wait 6 months. He will be back to pause squatting 200+ kgs.
it could be recovery but his main reason is because the weightlifting federation removed the 81kg class. hes kind of fucked because either he jumps up to the 94kg weight class and compete with Tian Tao or 73kg with Shi Zhong. Its just sad to see regardless,. I dont know why there is such a huge weight gap for 73kg and 94kg. Its almost like this is directed towards removing China's athletes.
It’s like watching a god be reborn. A phoenix rising. Can’t wait for the progress 🙌
Lol
WE WANT TO SEE THE WHOLE JOURNEY!
AND I WANT TO TRAVEL BACK IN TIME AND SLEEP WITH A PRIME LIZ HURLEY!
Jesus have some patience, he just started
YOU CANT HANDLE THE WHOLE JOURNEY!
If this doesn't make you want to train, I don't know what will
i want ROIDS after this
A billion dollars perhaps?

OMG I almost cried. Great to see the best weightlifter back into action.
Lol
He's like SS1 right now chill guys. Once the senzu beans kick in he'll be SS3 in no time.
Wait until a video of ~3 weeks from now and marvel at the power of food + gear + training in tandem
Muscle memory too, I think.
This is history in the making. Surely going down as one of the most epic comebacks ever. What a legend, good luck!!!!
Good to see you again Lu. Love and support from France
Welcome back lu. Im so exciting to see you on the top of the world again
Muscle memory is a real thing. I’m expecting this prep to be amazing.
My favourite weightlifter of all time & the smartest guy I've ever seen in a gym. All the best from Australia!!!
What a champion. Legend strength athlete- enjoy watching this very much.
Been watching him for years, keep going champ!

36 here too. Just restarted Oly and crossfit. Lets do this!

1:19 Looks like a true warrior’s path
Grande Lu! Vamos 💪🏽
That's the spirit we all should learn from this GOAT.
This is beautiful. I can’t wait❤️
Will be awesome to see him progress his way back up
Extremely inspirational
Awesome! Can't wait for more!!!
He looks so slim, yet lifts so much. Actually incredible.
retaining strenght off PED's. Not a mystery.
He just hopped of the roids look at how much muscle he lost
@@freddyls7616 he could've easily maintain that physique without PED's, maybe only TRT. The problem is he stopped workingout aswell
He took a long break and also had to trim down because of the IWF reduced the weight divisions to 5 classes. So he’ll be competing in 73kg instead of the previous 81kg
they had food problems in china for a long time since 2020
You can see Lu's pride leave his body 2:57
Respect ✌️
From iran 🇮🇷
Recovery phase over body all healed and fresh time to build back better
King is back baby!!!!
I can see his muscles growing by the second. We will have jacked Lu lifting massive weight in no time.
If one sees him on the street and does not know he's a pro lifter, nobody knows he's a very strong man. Such a slim body and he's capable of lifting so much more.
This gives me "The Last Dance" vibes
My boi Tian went from THICC to AESTHETIC.
good luck stay hard
The king is back 😍
He's gonna win
go champion!!
Coach Yu with a little cheeky slap on the bum
God please do a series like Ilya Ilyin did years ago before a worlds. This would go down in weightlifting history
More please
Now that's a training camp 👍💪
Wow, he will be competing in Paris 2024？Can't wait to see him！
太棒了🎉我們一路到巴黎，呂小軍 四屆奧運金牌❤
He looks way smaller, is he not on gear anymore?

Thanks for the great content!
Awesome videos! where do you get the songs?
Someone pls explain the purpose of the old guy slapping his cheeks? 2:56 is it to check if they are firm or activated?
Come on Lu !!!!
It's crazy how quickly he lost his size being off the juice. Looking forward to seeing him get back on that Chinese super sauce.
I like how bluntly honest your comment is. :)
Lol!
does china really have the superior juice technology tho?
@@insobyr9779 clearly they do, look at the results. But the genes limit them - they'll never dominate the big boys weight categories.
@@Perforu lol you're giving way too much credit to their bio-chemistry industry.
can you guys confirm if he is officially going for the 73kg category?
Yes， that's why he looks a bit 'slim' now
@@hongeast5174 nah he just took a break from gear. Thats naturally happens.
@@Vangaurd_tiger i heard he didn't lift for 1 whole year as well. i feel like i start losing my gainz if i stop lifting even for a month.
No way. He's gonna gain too much mass
@@cloud-ny5ux wells thats natural and can't be stopped if you stop lifting, however you will not lose your gains as fast as someone who has gear. And your muscles memory is with you.

Tank man
No, 73kg class will be dominated by the chinese : Shi Zhijong
Shi Zhiyong will dominate 73, and Tian Tao is more of a natural 89 than 96. Li Dayin has the height and frame to more than comfortably bulk up to 89 (which it looks like he already has).
Are you out of your mind? WADA (and by extension IWF) runs on Chinese bribe money
Gotta get back on juice!
Legend.
Im wondering, he’s still super strong considering being off juice for some time, how do you have that kind of strength? Like genetics or special training? Or both
GOAT
muscle memory is kicking in hard
They have a vertical screen that's live streaming from the guy's phone filming Lu lol.
he is starting to look bigger again
Why don't he address knee cave while squatting?
did he lose a lot of mass or is in a different weight category? looks a lot smaller than photos back in 16'-17' but still shredded regardless
de regreso el campeon
he looks so much smaller than last year. Y'all check him during last year's CnJ sesh, he was built like an Ox
He'll be back in a couple of months!
Does anyone care to speculate what Lu’s cycle may be?
I’m thinking 8 iu hgh per day
Anavar, halotestin
Short ester test, primo, mast, npp, eq
Various peptides and possibly a tiny amount of insulin post workout to shuttle the carbs quickly into the muscles.

Hello Lu
Why did you take time off ?
Thank you very much and great seeing you back 💪
His pro career spands 20 years at the top. Why wouldn’t he take time off? Plus the body needs time off after years of steroids. Don’t wanna be like the bodybuilders dropping like flies
@@alaefarmestatesllc think you a right
It's insane how much size he has lost.
Did he cut for a smaller weight class?

@@Waruto Thanks for informing me that m8!
He was injured or what?
jeez lu is lookin peng, and the weight he's pulling is mad.
goat
What happened to him to have shrinken that much ? Where did he go ?
He stopped lifting seriously and came off the gear and lost about 8kg
@@JTK_XXL retired then decided to come back ?
@@RecordSisi He took a break from the PEDs to take care of his body and not overdoing it, because of possible side effects. He still trained, but only did the minimum of what was necessary. However, he looks already a little bit bigger in the most recent video of week 3.
where's the overhead work?
Take it easy!
Wait for the next weeks
lu lookin skinny could he maybe try to qualify for a smaller weightclass? or maybe hes too tall
even after 1 year of no training, his spinal erectors look more jacked than mine
0:45 I don't know how he manages to avoid spine injuries with such a form, look at the low back rounding while pulling heavy and doing this for years. I don't know how he doesn't have spondylolisthesis, herniated disc, facet joint damage...

The spine can handle that level of flexion under load just fine
@@RigoGab Actually in many cases in regular people it can not. Read what the spine can tolerate. Very little shear force, torque force.

Which category will he compete??
73 kg
@@IgorSavtchenko he was 83 I think...10 kilos too much it will be hard competition
恢复训练啦👍看来，体型稍微变化基本保持的还可以。恢复一段时间训练就恢复了，力量也是。加油吕小军。
#TOPG
Is it me or does he look less muscular?
He looks slim. Probably because he stopped with PEDs
❤
Off the juice he looks like a normal person.
What happened to him
off the sauce
how do you lose that much size over a year while being natural impossible looks like vitor after he was off TRT
What happened to him?
He was off juice
Imagine you meet a opponent that almost has your 2 times ages in olympic weight lifting match!
He really trying to be a real life anime character
165/200 @73 kg cmon Lu

真的
CONQUER
It might be the only moment I can deadlift more than Lu…..
军神是瘦了么

Yea definitely. The receptors are super exhausted too.
it could be recovery but his main reason is because the weightlifting federation removed the 81kg class. hes kind of fucked because either he jumps up to the 94kg weight class and compete with Tian Tao or 73kg with Shi Zhong.

@@Waruto a quick google search tells you you're wrong. the 5 olympic weight classes for men will be 61kg, 73kg, 89kg, 102kg and +102kg

By Saturday he already had bigger traps showing over his shoulders 🤣
