It's so annoying when I ever mention Chinese weightlifters people have this idea that these guys are being chosen and being forced to train. Such a ridiculous and narrow minded way to look at another culture. They are just disciplined and have brutal training sessions but that doesn't mean they are forced to do anything. Sure this might be their opportunity to escape poor living but nobody's holding a gun to their head. You have so many video's of the weightlifting camps where the kids are having so much fun while doing exercises and really nice and patient coaches. They might be strict and disciplined but it doesn't mean they act like prison guards. We really have a soft culture here in the west. We can learn so much of Asian culture.
Why China needs force anyone to do anything? I mean they have billions people, there is only rarely chance to get in national team, why they need force someone?
there are so many shits going around whenever I see a reasonable post about China I have to thank the guy personally. so thank you for having an open mind about China!
This is the stereotype of Hollywood. The only difference between Chinese athletes and the west is that the country cover everything , you don’t have to go to work, you are paid, If you win in the competition, the prize is a lot，if you dont do well, usually the government will help you find a job (not in every case). So many poor people choose to be athletes and compete for the country .of course only the most talented will be accepted ,and the management is also stricter. but if you don’t like it, just go home , NO ONE FORCING YOU!
@@meteoricdec5337 I simply don't believe all the stories when I see an overwhelming amount of footage that points in the other direction. Interviews of athletes that explain how their system works, western weightlifters that are sometimes welcomed to train with chinese weightlifters. Of course things are disciplined but they are still people. Same goes for Russian system. I've seen footage of Dimitry Klokov (also other weightlifters) where he gets asked about Russia and he just rolls his eyes as if to say "What are you talking about?". Of course there will be shady things happening in every country but you can't just accuse an entire culture of being mindless robots just because you've "heard" it's like that in Asia. I've been Thailand and every thing I've heard about Thailand before was prostitutes, ladyboys and poor people. I've never seen such peaceful and respecting people in my life. Man, what a culture. They barely speak a word English (which they don't have to) but they are so helpful. I've seen the Muay Thai fights and it was a blast. I don't believe anything until I experience something myself. Thanks for your praise 🙏
You just have to pick your battles. Maybe something wasn't meant to be. If you're as close as him you don't give up of course. The most important thing is you love the thing you're doing otherwise you're not gonna be consistant enough to make it to the top.
I think it stresses the importance of finding the environment that best fits you and your goals. His old coach, whatever the reason, pushed him to injury. Maybe not deliberately, but he obviously wasn't trained mentally to sustain in the sport. Until he met Yu, when everything just 'clicked', and he was able to train safely, while still getting the most out of his skill potential.
I knew Coach Yu was a teddy bear behind that menacing look. Definitely a strict coach, but one you need to be top. I just need to see him smile like Lu one day.
No offense, but he gets a ton a commission from the government for winning medals. The commission goes to the coach only. Athletes receive different amounts of monthly subsidies depending on their performance.
Coaches also receive funds for training purposes, and very often they just take away a large portion of their fund for themselves. No offense, but this is how central planning works. You don’t need to worry about the coaches, since they often benefit more from the athletes’ performance than the athletes themselves.
He actually debut late, age of 25 compared to other athletes that started their international debut when they're juniors or fresh senior, and still became goat
I gotta wonder what the other coaches were doing, if they can make a potential world champion like Lv XiaoJun injured so badly within 2 yrs when his recovery ability should be at its peak in his late teens to early 20s

To learn he almost gave up. Remember kids, don’t give up and you might end up a champ.

only applies to him lmao
@@amberheard2869 People around the world too dude.. not only him...
End up a champ? No... End up a GOAT! Gold medal at age 37!!!!!!

3:42 its simple.
When the goat cries, I cry.
I see you are a man of culture.
Damn, that was sadder than a baby seal crying😢
May all the good things in life happen for Coach Yu. Remarkable human being !
Coach Yu - looks like a movie villain, but with a heart of gold.
Kinda like Snape😭
terminal RBF syndrome
Thank you for uploading with English translations!!
Godspeed Lu Xiaojun !
Lu and his coach are inspiring for any sport, best of luck for 2021
I knew Coach Yu was a teddy bear behind that menacing look. Definitely a strict coach, but one you need to be top.
I just need to see him smile like Lu one day.
The only video where coach yu is happy otherwise he is grumpy
Tears in my eyes when I see that tow men hug each other.
If only Coaches like Yu could win medals for their service to train and build champions.

I noticed that two people disliked this video when Lu starting tearing up: why? This is such an inspiring video.
Lu's competitors... or Tian playing a joke perhaps?
Best of luck Lu :)
He’s gonna dominate!
Now that is a coach.
A good man!
that got surprisingly emotional very quickly. Good luck team China!
The video is too short...Lu is a legend ..and also coach Yu is..🥇🥇
Coach Yu…
He actually debut late, age of 25 compared to other athletes that started their international debut when they're juniors or fresh senior, and still became goat
he was a natural prodigy
Ooh
i was ready for a 1 hr documentary
my king Lu, I love you
These Chinese weightlifters are a different breed.
Bonita historia la de Lu y con el entrenador Yu
Coach is from Fujian province where soup is the main part of local food culture.
Are you sure? He has a classic Qingdao accent .
The Man behind every single Chinese Weightlifting medal of the past 15 years
Living Legend
I love this
Grande Lu
Coach Yu Feichanghao!!
I gotta wonder what the other coaches were doing, if they can make a potential world champion like Lv XiaoJun injured so badly within 2 yrs when his recovery ability should be at its peak in his late teens to early 20s
super saiyan shoes is his power source............legend.....
Is there a full interview?
yes but no traslation
let's go get it
Champ
How about my guy Tian Tao.
军神居然有过这样的往事
He can lift his wife on bed one handed easily. lol
"Soup"
It’s the Devine soup
@@koreaface as in divine protein shake?
@Andrea Parussini no soup is boiled, a shake is just mixed. You really get the nutrients when it’s boiled, and it makes your kitchen smell great.
I bet hes natural! Wonder whats in nutrition soup?:)
中国队加油！吕小军加油！
教练是青岛人?口音
确实是青普！
You should have asked him what is his juice regime.
He eats noodles bro. Its fucking magic
Coach Yu’s soup. It’s in the soup.
As if we'll get close to them provided that they'll give their stack xd
We eat chicken feet noodle soup bro. That's all the essential foods in 1 pot.
lol you think you can even come close to him just with his juice regime?
