2013 World Champs, weightlifting

Bummer I don't have Foxtel.

Here's Lu Xiaojun with the new snatch WR 176kg @77:

What I've found interesting from clips of this and the european champs is the increased number of lifters this year using knee sleeves and knee wraps. Lu appears to wear some kind of wraps like the ACE bandages they used to use in the IPF. I'll leave that for the non-raw haters for another time perhaps.

Just to try and put into perspective how impressive and rare this. That's 99kg above his body weight. Most people are pretty happy when they hit body weight, or the 30-50kgs above body weight, or double body weight...but almost 100kgs above body weight...awesome, awesome stuff

It is incredible. I am avid fan of olympic weightlifting. I'm just trying to put into perspective some of the widespread hating that has been levelled at the IPF for allowing neoprene knee sleeves for raw. No one would dare suggest anything like that against Lu Xiaojun (nor should they!).
 
Have Eurosport where I am staying. Will watch 105 and 105+ today. Pity I can't understand what the commentators are saying.
 
Been watching it on YouTube, people are posting the recordings as they finish...

Suprise suprise... Both lu and Liao were slammed on social media by hatters for using PEDs
In honestly, they most likely do, but they have beaten a pool of guys doing the same thing, those countries don't test year round, Russians have admitted it, Chinese have hinted it..
It doesn't give they impeccable technique and the years of hard work they have put in though!!
 
2 supers lifted 255kg, Iranian just missed 261kg, we3ight slightly behind so he could not hold it.

Russian won 209kg snatch.
 
Been catching it live when I can and recording to watch later when I can't... Really bloody impressive to watch! Wife has been enjoying it too which surprised me - even had my 2yo son and 5yo daughter glued to the TV for a while (my 2yo told me afterwards he wants to get big and strong like them, loved that :D )

My 2 year old grabs the broom stick all the time and jumps it up above her head... I'll be taking her to gym as soon as she wants to come... She puts stubby coolers on her knees as sleeves too
 
I love olympic lifting, finally got my body weight on Snatch this week, great to watch also.

I don't care about Lu Xiaojun snatching 176kgs, him passing USADA's Drug Testing for a year would be more impressive

than he goes on to say the 65kg woman out lifter team usa 65kg man,
interesting read through his comments on that post
