Lu starts his lifts with an empty bar. AN EMPTY BAR!! LU lifting an empty bar 😱 Big lesson for those who go in and start lifting heavy after a quick warm up.
He's even doing it in clean style form. Most people who deadlift don't have their upper back flexed, and don't come to the top with momentum to spare. Absolutely crazy
Look at those frikkin' traps on Lu, his whole back is like some granite stone carving. That's why I love training back and traps more than anything, such power and exploiveness from these muscles.
Really? It looks like he’s using his quads way more than his hamstrings, and, as a deadlift is a posterior chain exercise, that should not be the case. His back is too vertical/ chest is too up and sticking out but I guess I’m not an Olympic lifter. Maybe he’s just doing deadlift like that to practice for his main movement which i think is the snatch?
@@tatarcavalry2342 Tbh even if they felt pain or minor injuries they would still have to compete and win, as they have already done. Also, it's sad for their competitors but Lu, Shi and Tian dont need to be 100% to get first places lol

@@drama8335 i saw his deadlift again then thought of competition videos for strong man or powerlifting and i agree with you . I'm wrong here. None of them start the movement from that position. Still, his back is straight , there is just more leg drive . Who knows, people might start implementing it if they want more legs out of their deadlifts , without the jenk ofc. Besides the injury potential which i dont really think its that bad ,that jenk at the end , its to simulate the snatching part of an olimpic lift.
@@marledanimefan7186 i understand the reason for doing it this way but it stil can't be called a deadlift in my honest opinon at best it could be called a hybrid
No, Chinese weightlifters do a crazy amount of dips with 2-3 plates hanging on their waists. They just don’t bench bc bench press doesn’t help Olympic weightlifting.
@@Netrool bench press feel more like a ego movement, chest hypertrophy just need muscle mind connection which i use cable flyes and it done fantastically.
@@ericyuan2195 yup very bad for shoulder mobility. I felt it too sometimes my shoulder felt stiff after that. Inclined is better,plus dips and dumbell press
Considering I’ve seen lu squat 270kg without a hiccup I’m surprised he isn’t deadlifting 320kg+ especially with the power needed to snatch. The powerlifting game is such a specific kind of strength
That's because powerlifting requires pure strength, while weightifting requires power(which needs speed). Lu can prob dl(conventional cuz weightlifters usually DL with a C&J form) a lot more but there is just no need for him to do it since it wont translate very well to weightlifting.
it's true, there's a lot of difference between a conventional dl and clean style dl, e.g. straight upper back, lower hip position etc. Weightlifters are extremely quad dominant too which plays a role and is why they often don't pull more than they squat.
It’s mostly because his leverages aren’t really built for deadlifting. He has perfect squat leverages but not so good deadlift leverages. Same happens with tian tao. He even said it himself
Yeah, they are a great replacement for shrugs that don't even really work for me. The snatch pull and RDLS with snatch grip give my traps an even bigger sensation. However, you might need straps in order to go heavy enough, because your grip will eventually give up before your traps.
I just realized why I can’t get any hip drive out of my clean. When Lu is pulling the empty bar his chest is really far forward. I keep my chest back out of deadlift habit
Being short has incredible advantages when lifting. Leverages are just much better. I mean when deadlifting you don't have to deal with long legs, you can just focus on pulling. Granted Lu is not as short as some of the other lifters in that room, but he doesn't have long legs.
i think being short only really has huge benefits because of weight classes. if everything only relied on absolute strength and no weight classes we would see absolute domination by tall dudes
The current research on race and performance confirm this. Asians and Eurasians have typically shorter levers (shorter legs) and do better at weightlifting. Also comparatively the most mesomorphic.
Kinesio tape. Looks to me as though he is using it to pull his knee cap down. Maybe his knee cap doesn't track properly sometimes and this may help with "clicking". Just a guess on my part.
That's a lot of weight constantly being dropped onto the ground. Even with the padding, I imagine there could be some damage/cracks to the floor over time.
Beautiful my friend spread your name through the Asian community here in east and regional Vancouver love it brother I know you didn't use drugs I know China rules in weightlifting for good reason peace
Does the wrist straps help? Can someone please explain this work out 10.54 and why dips as accessory work out, I imagine is for stabilisation to hold all that weight over there heads. This is fascinating to watch the best of the best of the best training together like this.
general consensus is the wrist straps are much more for experienced lifters than new lifters as new lifters need to progress their grip to keeping increasing their lifts, while people like Lu will never need to clean 260 or snatch 190 so they can save their grip for when it's needed as it is already sufficient. deficit snatch pulls are to help your snatch be stronger off the floor, although i've always wondered why they do hips so high (could be to work back and posterior chain more but could be a positioning thing). a lot of weightlifters use dips as one of their main upper body static strength exercises along with strict press
Straps is like using helmets for riding bikes, straps allows you to pull properly without using your arms, full leg extension and shrugs, coordinate as fuck
Professional weightlifters use straps a lot to save their hands. They have to pull bars every day, so they don't want to shred their hands doing pulls one day and not be able to snatch the next.
These arent deadlifts everyone. I saw many comments saying that. Im also a redditor, so i know everything. Cant argue with me. I also coach Lu. I am also omniscient. I mod 18 subreddits. Source, myself.
I've noticed a lot of them have great shoulders, arms and back but an under-developed chest compared to the rest of their body. Do they not train Chest directly??
They dont. Its because exesive work on the chest , causes the chest muscles to become tight, thus, making shoulder overhead mobilty worse. Olympic weightlifters dont need chest to be great.
If Lu Xiaojun starts his workout with an empty bar, you should too.
i start with an air bar

Recently news，Lu Xiaojun replaces Rio Olympic gold medal, and he achieved three consecutive Olympic titles
He is not just muscular but his muscles are so dense that looks like he is wearing an armor.
Clean stance deadlifts are a personal favourite of mine, the way they build your upper back is like nothing else

The thing is, after the DL, Lu has to think about how to get that shit over the head, so no need to overdo too much.
Maybe if he changed to pure powerfliting he can prob get close to those numbers no doubt.
Pike flexibility is such an UNDERRATED skill.
all their proportions are great
Lou looks like he's unlocked some kind of hidden DBZ power and is confused as to why the weights look light
I did not know you had a TH-cam channel. Subscribed. Phenomenal physique by the way.
Seeing someone else at their peak physique makes you want to achieve it yourself.
Am I blind or Lu casually lifted 60kg like a polythene bag at 1st rep
i mean . think of the absurd amount of weight he can press over his head let alone deadlifting it.
Thank you. God bless you

Clean pulls light up my traps like nothing else

Yeah, they are a great replacement for shrugs that don't even really work for me.
The snatch pull and RDLS with snatch grip give my traps an even bigger sensation. However, you might need straps in order to go heavy enough, because your grip will eventually give up before your traps.
Snatch grip pulls for me. They create soreness in my traps like no other exercise

Probably helps with kinaesthetic awareness of knee tracking, to reduce knee pain while lifting. Just speculating

It's interesting that they pull up with their shoulders at the end of their deadlift
It's called a clean pull. It's an accessory exercise to help with the clean or snatch depending on how narrow or wide the grip is.
