Clarence Kennedy 150kg Power Snatch is a post by Gregor Winter from All Things Gym.
Meanwhile in Taiwan …
2013 World Champion Kuo Hsing-Chun (58kg) Squats 175kg.
Tuesday afternoon training calls for 20 sets, mostly triples, going up to couple of singles at 90%. Percentages are sort of ‘just a suggestion’ – you feel alright, you can go heavier.
Kuo Hsing-Chun 175kg Squat is a post by Gregor Winter from All Things Gym.
Previously at the 2014 World Championships …
Hysen Pulaku (85kg, Albania) snatching 165kg.
Yes, we all know what happened after worlds, but I still love his lifting style. It’s so aggressive and 165kg is still 165kg, no matter if tests came back positive or not.
Watch in 1080p50 for best Quality.

2015 European Weightlifting Championships *Update* Russian Team is a post by Gregor Winter from All Things Gym.
Blast from the past …
One of the best saves ever, Zhang Xiangsen with 130kg at the 1996 Olympics 54kg.
He got 2nd overall, battling against the great Halil Mutlu.
Not less remarkable are his somewhat unorthodox training methods. I think we, once again, have discovered the secret behind the Chinese weightlifting school.
via Wikipedia:
Zhang’s famous ability to enter an intense trance-like state before attempting a lift was rumored to be due to heavy methamphetamine use.
Coaches say, in his intense training efforts leading up to the 1996 games, Zhang used an electric wheelchair to transport his body between the gymnasium and his apartment in an effort to conserve energy.
Xiangsen was known to sleep with three 25 kilogram discs on his chest to become intimately familiar with the sensation of being crushed by weights, and hence to remove any element of fear from his psyche.
Thanks to Nat for sending this in.

Hookgrip is digitizing old videos (there is MUCH more to come).
Like the ones below from the 1999 Junior World Weightlifting Championships.
Browse through Hookgrip’s YouTube Channel and let me know your highlights and I embed them in this post.
Shi Zhiyong (62kg) Snatching 150kg for Junior and Senior World Records (at 11:30).
Li Hongli (77kg) setting a new Junior Snatch World Record with 162.5kg and missing a Senior World Record at 169.
20 year old Evgeny Chigishev (then 105kg) snatching 180kg and 185.5kg
A 17 year-old Szymon Kolecki (94kg) with a 172.5kg Snatch and 222.5kg Clean & Jerk.

Previously in the 2014 Worlds Training Hall …
As you have seen with the (lack of) Back Extensions in the worlds training hall, here is another improvisation.
Since there were no pull up bars or wall bars around smaller athletes like Tan Yayun (48kg, World Champion) in this case, used the Eleiko squat stands for anything that required hanging.
In the video you see her do some knee raises. But I doubt that it was intended to be ab work (too few reps for that). You can see her coach slap her back a couple of times. So I think it was intended as some kind of Spinal Decompression to relief back pressure. But again, just speculation on my part.
This was filmed on the day of my arrival, at the end of her training session, two days out from her competition.
Again, nothing extraordinary. Just thought you folks might enjoy the little things behind the scenes.

Meanwhile in China …
After winter training comes… a check in with the Chinese team during the spring training.
If you can help translate that would be great.
Update: Translation & Summary thanks to Bruce, Wally and Victor.
The first half of the video is summarizing what was mentioned in the previous two videos, how National team split off into two for winter training.
The group from Hainan (Lu, Liao, Tian, Long) have already returned, while the group in Fujian has another week to go. The camp is saying that they’re recovered from previous competition and injuries.
Tian even says it’s probably his best winter of training.
There are the National Championships in ZheJiang on 4/24/15, and the winners of these will be the first choices to go to Worlds in 2014.
They then talk about how this year and next year will help determine the 6 spots for men and 4 spots for women for 2016. Then some talk about how now people have to lift for themselves now.
They also talked about how in the past for slots it would only be the team (regardless of athlete) to get the slots. Now, in this 14-16 cycle, the athletes that want to compete in the Olympics have to do two major events.
Translation from Victor:
Liao Hui and Lu Xiaojun have regained form and Long Qingquan has returned to his strongest form (not sure if the reporter fudged this one up but it seems off since in the last video, Yujie said Long had recovered to his finest form with 2/3 winter training left so I feel Long should be easily beyond his best form now).
Tian Tao personally said that it was his best winter training ever as he had made several major breakthroughs in all important aspects including strength. He said that he won’t over-think the competition since he’s very confident that if he can perform in competition as he did in training, “there won’t be any problems whatsoever.”
The statement is extremely bold and most can interpret him as saying nobody has a chance against him unless he screws himself up.
The reporter says the April nationals will determine the first choice for the November worlds and both this and next year’s performances would be taken into account for Rio.
YuJie says you can’t miss either this or next year’s Nationals if you wanna qualify for Rio, signalling that Lu Xiaojun and Liao Hui may not get anymore free passes (not said explicitly).

Meanwhile in Egypt …
Mohamed Ehab (69kg) Snatches 160kg off Blocks!
I think his last Block Snatch PR (on video) was 155kg back in 2013.
Mohamed Ehab 160kg Snatch off Blocks is a post by Gregor Winter from All Things Gym.
Previously in the 2014 Worlds Training Hall …
Rim Jong Sim (75kg, North Korea) Front Squats 160kg x2, eight days out from competition. She did 5 or 6 sets with that weight I believe.
In the end she finished 4th (3rd once Kim Unju’s ban is official) with 123 + 153.

Here is a Blast from the Past …
Lu Xiaojun winning the 69kg category at the 2004 Junior World Championships in Minsk, Belarus.
Snatch: 142.5, 147.5, 152.5
Clean & Jerk: 175, 175, 180
After this he didn’t compete iternationally for another four years until he made his comeback debut in the 77kg at the 2008 Asian Championships.
Why the long pause after Jr. Worlds? From his Interview:
In 2004 alone he was able to get two first-place titles, one in the World Junior Championships men’s 69 kg class champion the other in the “China-Japan-Korea” weightlifting tournament where he won the 69 kg title.
However, long periods of heavy, intense weight training resulted in his body beginning to warn him.
Lu: “Yes, by the end of 2006 my body hurt, shoulder and legs both hurt because of a ligament injury. After the ligament injury I could not move, it hurt to move it slightly.”
After many treatments with no effect, in desperation, he chose to leave the national team.
Lu: “I could not sleep the night before I would leave the national team and my heart was very painful, you know, it’s that some of my goals and dreams would not be realized. Like “bam” my dreams shattered and my future finished, then my mind went blank. It seems I never dared to think about my future life goals and dreams, this is real pain!”
So Lu Xiaojun with injuries and pain decided to leave the national team and returned to his hometown in Hubei Qianjiang to recuperate.
Lu Xiaojun returned to the national team in 2008 and opened his brilliant life journey.

Six weeks earlier at the Asian Games he equaled the World Record with 218kg (and simultaneously setting the new Junior WR).

London Olympic Champion Li Xueying (CHN) snatching 111kg at 58kg at the 2009 National Games.
Then 19 years old this lift is one kilo above the Junior World Record.
She didn’t appear internationally after her 2012 Gold due to bombing domestically and injuries, however she is training again and is aiming for a return to the national team this year.
Thanks to wlift84 for sending it in.
