#shizhiyong
A fight between a dragon and a tiger—Chinese proverb
When two equally strong opponents meet, it becomes even more important to have a stable and accurate lifts. After years of competing against each other, #ShiZhiyong finally beat #LiaoHui for the first time in an awesome showdown at the 2017 China National Games.
Part of this success is due to Shi’s higher success rate and greater stability. Shi went 3/6, almost bombing out in the #snatch but Liao went 2/6 and was less stable in the #cleanandjerk which made it more difficult for him overcome. While both athletes are world and Olympic champions, and both pushed each other to their limits that day, both will have to increase their success rates to regain or retain their dominance over the other.

Nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards—Chinese proverb
69kg Olympic champion #ShiZhiyong recently one the 2017 China National Games. Many people ask about his lifting style which brings up the topic between technique and style. In #chineseweightlifting, it is understood that athletes have different builds and hence different strengths, therefore there will be minor technical differences between athletes even in the same weight class. But what’s important is that all athletes follow the same fundamental standards outlined by the 5 words.
This means keeping the your balance through the pull (close), allowing the barbell to move quickly (fast), shortening the pull t othe greatestextent under the premise of maximizing vertical force (low), exerting your muscles in a coordinated and fluid way (rhythm), and minimizing horizontal forces to catch the barbell directly over the center of their feet (stable). You can watch this 205kg #cleanandjerk he performed in training, which is 7kg over his National Games performance. This kind of performance is not magic, it has to be achieved following norms and standards. If you want to implement professional standards to your lifting, join us this December for the upcoming #mastrengthcamp or one of our seminars at:
