Interesting thread here where a guy training under coach Wu explains some of the methods used. 77kg lifter squatting 290kg :eek:

Unreal find. L will wet himself.

Post 50 is really the key to all strength/skill sports.

That thread is absolutely golden. I hope people appreciate the rare insight they're getting.

****er basically has nothing wrong with him. Probably even looks like that when maxing. I was interested to see how they dealt with imbalances too.

I like what he said about conditioning :P!

This is probably a large part of the reason he isn't a homeless nobody.

The best thing about that thread is the bit on nutrition.

He says that they eat blood pudding for recovery.

Black pudding is blood pudding.
This of course means that black pudding is super-awesome atheletic weightlifting food.

chances are if that was his opinion, a few asian lads squatting >2x bodyweight won't change his mind and you'll hear something like "sure they're only gonna hurt themselves sooner or later".

God, I hate people.

You're probably right. I don't mind people, if they'd simply leave me alone.

He is an olympic athlete.

Always makes me laugh how people see Elite Athletes (as in actual elite athletes) and act all discouraged about it.

If it makes you feel worse, his max is probably 50+kg higher again.
