Funniest story ever about Shi riding in your car yelling at the top of his lungs. When I heard it on the podcast I was at the airport and started laughing out loud. People were looking at me funny but there was no way I could explain why I was laughing so hard. Thanks Seb!
I second this! I prefer your content to hookgrip and ATG, even though they are bigger and more established channels. For anyone else, Id recommend the Weightlifting house podcast too!
@@WeightliftingHouse I follow you on all 3 and might even decide to join in on patreon since the content you provide is really enjoyable and high quality. Plus i started using your thumb tape. So thank you for all your excellent work, keep it up!
@@pegleggreg3627 hookgrip is dead on you tube, I ask them why they don't upload more videos on you tube, they respond they don't make as much views on you tube as much on instagram
Really enjoyed this . the car story is something you could recall and share for decades , i will remember that as one of my amusing weightlifting anecdotes.
This dude lived what it can only be described, as a funny dream. "I gave Shi a lift, and little time later we were all laughing our asses off while he cussed FUCK FUCK FUCK out loud next to me"
As someone who understands chinese I find it hilarious you're bring out a Wo Cao Tshirt hahah, definitly buying one. Btw the literal translation is "i fuck", but a more accurate translation in meaning is "fuck me"
I guess that being great at front squatting is enough, no back squatting needed unless you can't produce the power he can put, and that's like 99.99999% of us.
@@kmsxd2227 He was injured in a competition IMO, he said that he was so pumped up on the stage that he just ignored the pain, until he went down and realized his back was screwed
@@johnbreuwet6224 its not harder for every one. Some people find the back squat harder. I personally do. It puts more strain on my back and neck. Plus im only about 10kilos under my best back squat in the front.
I really enjoyed this video and the commentary you share, especially the terrific insights and special moments with such a freak of nature. The Wo Cao story, the incredible way he just jumps into your car, and everything else. Keep it up.
As a Chinese, I would like to share some knowledge about wocao 我操. Chinese is an intonation language. So even with the same pronunciation, different intonations mean different meanings. wo 3rd tones and cao 4the as F words means angry and wo 4th tones and cao 4the tone means angry mean surprise. wo soft tone and cao 2nd tone means a doubt wo soft tone and cao 4th tone means a praise
there has been other lifters in the past that follow the power until you cant strategy. I do it frequently for snatches. Not as often for cleans but still do it from time to time. If your form in both is good it wont be an issue. The power movements mimic the full lifts anyways so as it gets heavier you just catch lower and lower. Ive actually found that it helps utilize a full pull on the heavier lifts of trying to power the lift even when you know you cant.
He musst have seen it in training so often that it isn´t a suprise anymore. On the other hand, the camera guy on the left next to them was suprised, really liked his facial expression :D
I've been watching your videos recently and I really enjoy your content and commentary! As someone who just started Oly lifting, it's cool to see what the best are doing! I was wondering if power jerks are becoming more mainstream, through athletes like Shi, Li Dayin and Oleksey Torokhtiy? Is it a possible alternative to split jerking?
船越勇貴 From what I've gathered from videos and documentaries regarding team China and some youth camps around the world, the power jerk is a technically "simpler" technique compared to the split jerk. From an anatomical standpoint, asians have shorter femurs so they can really squat in deep to catch the bar and have the bar almost directly in their center of gravity similar to a powerlifter doing a heavy back squat (non asian examples: Apti Aukhadov, Pyros Dimas) But ultimately it really is a matter of personal preference and what the athlete feels will get them the highest weight possible.
The power jerkers tend to have monster level leg strength, Tian Tao powered 205@77, Shi front squatted 255@69, for Li I have no specific numbers but he jerks like a rocket. And they choose to power not because power is better, but split just doesn't work for them more or less.
It's definitely a possible alternative which is why we have a few world champions doing it. I wouldn't say its prevalence has increased particularly over the last couple of decades. There have always been Chinese lifters doing this, along with guys like Bedzhanyan and Kakhi to name a few. If you have strong legs give it a go!
@@hornetluca the clean and jerk from olympic lifts is from front squat. OFc front squat is harder, and as any lift if you do it correctly you'll progress
@@theylivewesee1674 I am back squatting only pretty much because I am trying to improve the lift. I dont front squat atm. I am thinking of doing only front squats after this. Do you think its a good idea?
@@shashuhr ease slow into front squating, just work on form and still back squat heavy, they you transition more days of front squat and try to work on heavy front squat with full grip when you have your elbows to the side and little bit down with chest open and not two finger close grip hold

Top-ranked 81 kg lifter; that’s the class that includes Lyu and Li Dayin. Wocao!
Wocao indeed.
He so strong that whenever he switches class he is already rank 1 automatically
Liao hui too once competed in 77 kg and became no.1 in the IWF 2015 Grand prix
Really enjoyed this .
the car story is something you could recall and share for decades , i will remember that as one of my amusing weightlifting anecdotes.
I've told it a few times already!
When he standing there silently and facing the audience with pride, I know he is yelling WOCAO in his mind!
Your channel is phenomenal. Can’t wait to see it grow like crazy because you clearly put huge effort in to make such quality content.
I hope it does!
he comes from vegeta planet bruh his strenght is stuuupid
WO CAO!
Power and aesthetics. Unreal dude.

A better translation should be “Holy fuck”.
I can’t even deadlift his non-backsquat
I can't even deadlift his power snatch
I can't even deadlift his bicep curl
I can't deadlift is nordic hamstring curl
@@inky4690 I can’t deadlift his lateral raise
WO CAOOOOO. What a fun dude. LET'S GO SHIII.
What an incredible lifter. Great video!
I want weightlifting house's intro song to play at the background of my life
Great video. Shi Zhiyong has the best facial expressions.
Very interesting that Shi does not back squad. Incredible video as always. Such a joy to watch.

No problem!
OH MY GOD. That is an awesome story 😂

Still one of my fav vids Seb!!

Thank u very much. These videos are so good. Even better than hookgrip and atg
Great video🤩🤩
Keep making great content!
Amazing content! More!
Great stuff, love it
Wocao❤️🔥
Man can't watch this enough
He just snatches 100kgs more than me at my own body weight class...
The guy is built different 🔥
As a Chinese speaker, I could explain Wocao mean “I feel good”when our weightlifter just finished one movement
It's ok. We all love his WOCAO!
At 4:24 the announcer says Die Machine Shi Zhiyong, pretty much “The machine”
I like those anecdotes.
Funny that Shi on your passenger seat yelling wocao in English all the way to hotel
Power clean and power jerk at 180 kg.
Wo cao
I really want that short! woar chamm!! Lmao I can see why you thought he said "world champ" hahah
So you are telling me that this guy doesn't even backsquat. I wonder how much he would lift if he backsquat. He would be a beast!!

Shi Szhiyong shouting fuck in your passenger seat is so fucking funny
wait what, you just dropped a bomb and didnt elaborate. SHI DOESNT BACK SQUAT???
By design. Had to leave you guys hanging ;)
@@WeightliftingHouse consider me hanged
Another great video. A whole lot to learn from the Chinese weightlifters.
3:22 are those really misses? It could be he's just not fixating on purpose?

Notification squad
My guy
one of his interview after the toyko Olympic, he mentioned he was not happy about you selling the wocao T-shirts online
Coach Yu was not shaken during his 190 P cnj (around 8:30)
He musst have seen it in training so often that it isn´t a suprise anymore. On the other hand, the camera guy on the left next to them was suprised, really liked his facial expression :D
He doesn't back squat??
Front squat 255kg is good too
Don’t have that many plates for back squat maybe lol
no point for some guys, plus... you never have the bar on your back in WL, so, why do it some would argue?

It could be, the snatch was also a split snatch in the past and now no one does it anymore
who is the guy behind and to the left of shi in the black singlet and red lifting shoes at 3:12?
Li Dayin
Pound 4 pound the best lifter in the world 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳💪
how do you not have more subs?
ok hold up, at 8:37 was that squat even needed? Or he jsut do it for fun?
Pound for pound best weightlifter
i love this
100% fast twitch fibers. Jesus that power is insane.
What it is the name of the lifter behind him 1:51 with a black shirt?, best to all and lift heavy!
Oh natty Shi Zhiyong
Tian Tao has said fuck on camera too lol. After missing 220 as an 85... anyone else seen that vid?
He doesn't back squat?! Crazy
@Orb Plant he hurt his back doing it
What about Boyanka Kostova power cleaning and snatching, haha? XD
Wo Cao
how much do you squat and snatch WH?
An embarrassing amount! 116kg snatch, 146kg clean, and 182.5kg back squat... Let's stick to videos of OTHER people lifting

Probably the you tube software thingy is slow at counting the views but not the likes.
Basically the Chinese national team went for this event for fun. It is more like a vacation for them
more like a business trip i think
Shi doesn’t backsquat
My lord... is that ... legal?
It’s illegal for us peasants but legal for Shi because he’s a damn God. Wo Cao!
eh its not that odd. I dont do it. My front is almost as high as my back squat. Ill very rarely do them.
minute 9:25 is Morady talking?
1:11 damn, those glutes

Is there any reason why shi zhiyong was ultimately chosen to go to rio despite losing out to liao hui in the 2016 chinese nationals?
The Chinese team chose him instead as a safe bet
Might be more even in his lifting. They have so many to choose from.

Do you also recommend not back squatting like this guy? to improve weightlifting?
no if you have great leverage for back squat then do both, back squat builds greater quads then front squat which is position specific to clean
