How This Guy is Saving Chinese Weightlifting

- Liu Huanhua, aka Giga Chad, has become arguably China's best weightlifter on the men's team. After years of total dominance, China's squad has started missing out on Gold medals.
In Thailand, at their most important competition of the entire Olympic quad, 'only' two of the six took home gold medals, two more managed medals, and two fell outside of the medals.
Watch as Liu Huanhua journeys from the third ranked -89kg weightlifter in China to their World no.1 as an -102kg weightlifter.

Liu Huanhua just won Gold in 2024 Paris Olympics Men's 102 kg. Well deserved
Yea sure a roided guy and a team fill of roid heads...
@@Kenny-yl9pceveryones on steroids
@@Kenny-yl9pc having tons of roid can't make you a man.
@@Kenny-yl9pc 1000% sure you're new to weightlifting.
@@Kenny-yl9pc😅😅
What a productionquality. WOW!
Pleased you noticed!
i bet the team behind the paris olympics will produce bland videos as usually
Absolutely. And the ending is... Just wow!
I'm so hyped after watching this video that I want to go to the gym right now 😮💨
im so hyped now to buy steroids one month supply
Then you realize you can’t even lift the bar lol
You go I'll watch you on TH-cam (with popcorn)
The reason China weight lifting looked not as good the last few years is because the Olympic committee decided to void some of the weight classes that China was dominating in the past.
because no one cares about literal tree branch weight. The moment russia gets unbanned is fucked for the chinese.
@@shadeofape2470 plenty of people care about lower weight classes; just like plenty of people watch boxers and mma fighters from lower weight classes. IOC took out weight classes in order to stifle china from getting more gold medals. gtfo
@@shadeofape2470就你聪明！
@@shadeofape2470 lol why so salty!! 😅
@@shadeofape2470not so sure. Russian weightlifting has long been on a slide long before their ban. Only 1 gold in 04/08 and nothing in 2012. The Asian countries even outside of China have all improved. If anything Indonesia and most specifically North Korea is gonna be the ones dethrone China. North Korea already is set to surpass them in WRs by 2028 if they keep lifting the way they did this year.
Weightlifting House, the absolute GOLD standard of weightlifting content!
Liu Huanhua is a beast. Big fan.
Liu Huanhua won the Olympics Gold medal in his category! Big Congratulation to him absolutely well deserved with all the hard work and dedication
The moment with Lasha watching in the background is awesome haha
And saying: nog bad bud ;-)
6:24 if all the strongest guys are watching you it’s because you’re one of them.
It's because they know that he is the strongest of them all.
That announcer in Thailand was so hype! I liked his energy and enthusiasm. Also thank you WH for the consistently good content.
14:20 is one of the best song/editing choices I've seen, incredible

@@EarthEngineArch I thought it was Darude Sandstorm.
yeah that was fucking clean, gave me goosebumps
The ending is a piece of art. The whole video is great, but the ending... Amazing. Thank you for your efforts
The way you tell the chinese team's story is just mesmerizing! This is art in it's purest form 😍
Liu Huanhua’s technique is flawless in the clean and jerk. Dude is like a machine. Nutrition and training are definitely on point to create that solid 102kg frame. It’s crazy that he gained something like 13kg of lean mass in two years in order to evolve into what he has become. Amazing success story!
nutrition science in china is not existent... just eat and push
All the chinese lifters always have phenomenal physiques too, thats what really sets them apart.
high reps
More they’re genetic specimens and drugs
Shows the quality of their diet and their very hard training
it's 90% insane genetics, 9% years of insane dedication, and 1% last minute "juicing". 😉
I just assume every one is on it at this point. The training alone requires you to take it.@@yodaichi888
It's all political.
Ask yourself. What Olympic sport has arbitrarily cut the team member count and changed weight classes 4 times in 4 years? Just weightlifting.
And count how many countries are disproportionately affected by those changes? Just 1, China.
Meanwhile, they're talking about adding 3v3 basketball as a new event.
What a joke.
Out of a possible 45 Weightlifting Medalists in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, 20 were subsequently banned after re-testing a competition sample. That's 44%.. of medalists!
Weightlifting is absolutely rife with drug use, it's basically systemic.
The USSR dominated weightlifting for decades, and then they fell apart and got caught cheating, the void was filled by China.
China isn't good at weightlifting, they're good at drugs, just the same as the USSR before them.
Weightlifting isn't a test of an individuals strength, speed, skill, or stamina, it's a test of their ability to utilise a drug program and not get caught.
There may be phenoms who are incredibly gifted athletes, but if they're a weightlifter, they are on drugs as well. Because those phenoms cannot outcompete other insanely gifted athletes who are on drugs.. and everyone is on drugs when it comes to weightlifting.
When 50% of the field gets caught on drugs, the other 50% isn't clean, they just didn't get caught.
this comment needs to be way higher
Awesome video. Huanhua has quickly become one of my favorites as a heavyweight myself. Love the effort from the WLHouse team to put together this great edit.
Thanks to steriods.
@@roncaruso931 ah you again, complaining about steroids when you still can't snatch bodyweight.
@alubchicken Who the F cares if I can't snatch a body weight. I lift, but I don't give a sh*t about snatching my body weight. First, I do not take roids. Second, having a great job, making very good money, having nice cars, and a great family is way more important than snatching some stupid wright. Third, get a life!
@@roncaruso931 im sorry but if you can't snatch bodyweight you've already failed the very basics of weightlifting, so you have no right to complain about steroids.
@alubchicken It's not important to me. Can you understand English? I lift weights and also do running. I weigh 180 lbs. I snatch about 150. It's not bad for someone who does not take steriods or other drugs. Also, no trainers. Just a gym in my house.
These kind of videos usually don't do a lot for me ("just show me people lifting") but this one is really good...really well put together, great production quality
who is here after 2024 olympic?
"The empire is certainly not collapsing, its just a changing of the guard" Amazing..
Thanks Weightlifting house!!!!! LETS GO GIGACHAD!!! LETS GO CHINA!!!!!
Fantastic content, superb editing. Great video.
The most insane lift I've ever seen. I expected him to do a 226 max. Dude said naa...232.
He did 233 in September brother, we’re just scratching of what he’ll do in his prime, he’s only like 22 so he’s still very young
gotta increase slowly to get all those WR cheques
And he made the jerk look easy. Unfathomable power.
@@jacksonr260 yep, best jerk tech across probably all of the Olympic classes, impeccable timing and use of the bar whip. I don’t doubt that he could probably jerk 245kg-250kg off the blocks
And no belt!
It's been impresive, seeing his debut as a 89 on international stage, has climbed slowly but sure, in category and competitiveness, what an athlete☝🏻
Awesome video. Big fan of Liu.
There is only 2 snatch kings. Lu Xiaojun & Lasha. Lu snatching 180 in practice and repeatedly going over 170 in comp at his weight is the ultimate.
I can somewhat agree on the Lu point because he did easily what people in heavier weight classes were struggling to do. The man was 77kg and did 100kg over bodyweight snatch whilst in the current 89s,some of the top ten can't even manage a 175kg snatch
Not to take away from Lu's greatness anything, but you need to consider that the heavier weight class, the harder it is to snatch big weights. To keep it at around 100kg weight class, these guys nowadays still have to catch up to Nicu Vlad who snatched 200.5kg at 100kg class in 1986 world championships. Yes and he C&J-ed 237kg that day too.
na forget the numbers, you get the chinese coach approvingly clapping your shoulder, heck almost smiling at you? you did exceptionally well my friend!
The Chinese coaches know what PEDs to use
@@roncaruso931and you think other coaches from other countries don't ?
@@amoghus They all cheat. All use steriods or other drugs. Lifters and coaches.
@@amoghusChina has very little to no testing while other nations, such as the United States, have biweekly drug testing to ensure no cheating.
@@dollarstorebarrontrump1141 you got a source for that? it better not be CNN
absolute top class content here, thanks!
You know you're in another league when Lalayan, Simon and Lasha are watching ur lift carefully 😎
The bulk to 102 really filled-out his face and made him look 10 years younger lmao.
He doesn't quite have the gigachad jaw anymore, but the lifts still deserve the title.
I see Gigachad in thumbnail, I click
Got goosebumps when Liu lifted 232 kg.
The quality of the channel keeps getting better, absolutely loving it.
Instant like! More Liu-posting please.
Very enjoyable video to watch. Top notch production! Narrating and music are subtle, which is appreciated.
Wow. 110x2=220kg + 20kg bar = 240kg (529 pounds). Front Squat! 3 reps!!
232kg Clean & Jerk World Record.
This dude is only 22, Jesus Christ
2:50 is 190
very well narrated!
The video editing and sound was AMAZING
Such quality WH, thank you!
Wow what a great video, thank you for your professional quality content Sebastian!
In addition, Li Dayin came from 2 classes down, same with Tian Tao, it was difficult for them to adjust to a new weight category and compete at Lianhuahua's weight.
Dang, that final Liu lift was insane
Thanking for making it so interesting!
This was a really interesting vid. Thank you.
It's inspiring how the other lifters spot each other and genuinely care about each other lifts! ❤
I didn't expect that ending, so cold. Nice video
I love everything about this… I think I just found my new pre-workout… ‘WLH - Liu Edition’… 🔥 🔥
World Champion, World #1, Olympic Gold. #GIGACHAD
back cus bro just won the gold medal
Li Fabin with 11kg lead on Hampton : *Am I a joke to you?*
Great video btw, keep them coming!
102 class is exciting! But can’t help but notice how close the 89s are to their numbers. A 180 snatch is a big deal for them while you had almost a handful of 89s hitting just as much.
Only the top three would have qualified for the 102s so its not close but it is closer than it should be
Olympic weight class change only happened after Tokyo. The most competitive athletes had to cut 7kg down from 109, or gain 7kg from 96. It’s a difficult and patient process both to lose 5% of body weight and return to peak performance performance, and to gain weight and see that additional body mass fully manifest as gains in the lifts
@@weshumost of the top 89s had moved up from 81 and most of the top 102s moved up from 96. 89s gained a lot meanwhile liu is pretty much the only one to be pushing the 102s having moved up all the way down from 89. just seems like the 89s are filled with more talent than the 102s (no disrespect to them obviously)
dropping the weight on floor and the floor dont break is amazing
Amazing video and production
Really a fantastic production
"These ups-and-down ..."
... while filming a squat in motion, hahaha, nice one Seb! xD
in liu we trust
Lasha looking at your lift is like getting a medal haha
Nice vid as always ; btw what's the music at 7:48 ?
prophetic..... great work olympic 2024 102kg champ !
Damn that was a really high quality video !!
What a story. That was incredible
Insane video! Can't wait for the Olympics
Seeing Shi lose in the total and C+J and Tian Tao retiring, it really is an end of era
And still 4-5 years till he reaches his peak.
Liao Hui was a beast man.
232kg clean & jerk is nuts
510lbs!!!! Just ponder on that for a minute folks.
the story telling is top notch!!!!
Lesman is crazy good daaamn
great vid!! got goosebumps

Got into weightlifting cause of dayin thanks to your videos
The better question to ask (even though there will never be an actual answer) is what exactly are they all taking, espeically Liu Huanhua. If anyone can figure out their stack, they will unlock the code.
Each country should be allowed to send one player in each weight class, as long as they qualify. The limit of three across all classes is nonsense!
Whether they have super genes and/or PED or not, it's still cheap to say they merely rely on those factors. In this high competitive world you still need to strain very hard, sleep enough and your diet has to be top notch.
If that wasn't´t the case, then everyone could compete in the Olympics, which is not true.
They all use PEDs and roids. Not everyone can be in the Olympics. It takes many years of getting the technique perfect. If you have the technique, you can lift heavy weights.
The Chinese never seem to use the red 25 kg plates in practice lifts. There’s an old reddit post of their hall showing shiny red bumpers amongst the nicely worn other colors. Why don’t they use the red plates in practice? Is it superstition?
Most likely yes,I got told off by a Chinese student for writing their name in red(they were genuinely offended and I had no idea)
I got chills when he made that 232. Good lord almighty.
Спасибо!
man he's a true GIGACHAD outside eSport holy
Damn that shade towards Li Dayin at 1:19
Really great editing
Fantastic editing
I love these movies. Thanks Seb
This is a great video!
Seb!! 😊your voice tho! Sick!! Have you ever thought about doing the NFL hard knock series. You'd be good
I spot @NateCerwinske in the background😉. When is the documentary coming out?
Gigachad total 418 at 100bw as 109 at Hanzhou Asian games ! Chad of Chad!
Awesome
Brilliant video.
A 170kg Snatch is simply mind-boggling.
Thats so dope, if you know what I mean.
whoa. is this jason cf media? had no idea. great video
Lui is the next Ilya. He is 102 and Ilya was 105 but he is probably gonna be stronger especially at a lighter bw
Ilya lifted Liu's career best total (418 kg) at the 2012 Olympics while weighing 93.52 kg, and he achieved a 437 kg total (191-246) while weighing 104.44 at the 2015 President's Cup.
When you get a ‘not bad’ from Lasha…. Whew buddy. Nice
Chinese Muscle Gods 💯💯🕊️🕊️🕊️
