Weightlifting projects have always been the big gold medalists of the Chinese delegation, but they are usually paid little attention in China. However, in this Olympic Games, the old and strong "military god" Lu Xiaojun, Shi Zhiyong, who roared with victory, and Li Wenwen, who was dumb and cute under the domineering field, fiercely fired a fire. Everyone suddenly found that the Chinese weightlifting team, which was once anonymized, had become globally famous and had become an international Internet celebrity.
Our reporter invited a number of professionals, including the gold medal coach behind the Olympic champions, and their interpretations made us find that in the past, we had a lot of misunderstandings about these Hercules.

What you think of as a weightlifter: bitterness and vengeance
wrong! Chinese players are now international influencers
During the Tokyo Olympics, Chinese Olympic athletes showed the public another side of the arena through various new media platforms. Among them, the weightlifting team is the most eye-catching team. What people did not expect was that the weightlifters who usually did not show the mountains and water not only interacted with fans on the domestic network platform, but also were also active on some international network platforms, all had their own social network accounts, and the number of foreign fans was breathtaking.
Li Fabin will "report peace" with fans on his account, and Shi Zhiyong's cheers and shouts were quickly learned by fans, and they are now used in the comments. The largest traffic should be Known as the "God of War" by the majority of fans, Lu Xiaojun, the reporter checked, Lu Xiaojun's Ins social network account has 258,000 fans, and his video account has 35,300 subscriptions.
On the world's largest video website, the most played video of Chinese athletes should be "Yao Ming's career top 40 shots", with nearly 13 million views, followed by a daily training video of Lu Xiaojun in 2019, with 4.68 million plays, as an active athlete, Lu Xiaojun can be said to be "Li Ziqi among athletes".
Not only is Lu Xiaojun's training video concerned, his brand training equipment is also very popular, and even foreign fitness bloggers are like evaluating Jordan sneakers, shooting videos of Lv Xiaojun's brand barbell films. Under the latest li wenwen competition video released by Lu Xiaojun, countless fans exclaimed in English: "This girl is too strong!" "Hurry up and let her open an account too!"
Shao Guoqiang, deputy head coach of the Chinese men's weightlifting team and personally brought out Shi Zhiyong and Li Fabin, two Olympic champions, told reporters that in fact, it was not only the Tokyo Olympic Games, as early as 2015 when the Chinese weightlifting team went to the United States to participate in the World Championships, they found that weightlifting was particularly popular in the local area, and the domestic competition was generally mainly concerned by the industry, where there were ordinary people chasing the game from afar, "like the star-chasing family." ”
Everyone will sigh for the 80-kilogram Lü Xiaojun squat can reach 270 kilograms: in addition to the talent and amazing explosive power, to achieve the achievements of Lü Xiaojun, it also needs to rely on years of hard training. "Your limit is just his warm-up."
In the eyes of these fitness experts, although it is also a muscle, "Dwayne Johnson is just a fierce character on the screen, only those who love popcorn like it, Lu Xiaojun is a real man, a real god." ”
There is no doubt that The Chinese weightlifters represented by Lu Xiaojun are already gods in the minds of many national fitness enthusiasts.
What you think of as weightlifting: just rely on a dead force
wrong! Shi Zhiyong, who is 1 meter 67, can also grab the basket frame
Olympic champion Shi Zhiyong once posted a video in which he, who was only 1 meter 67 tall, ran a step or two and jumped high and grabbed the basket with a standard height of 3 meters 05.
Shi Zhiyong wrote to the video: "What if I am higher? What if I play basketball a lot? However there is no if, haha. Practicing weightlifting will give you a powerful explosive power. He replied to the comment that he had no problem jumping a meter, and that the weightlifters could catch the basket when they jumped up.
Coincidentally, Olympic champion Li Fabin also sent a video, in which he jumped in place and jumped to a cabinet more than 1 meter high, and netizens lamented that "gravity can't catch him."
"When I met Shi Zhiyong, he was 11 years old and could jump 2 meters 3 in the long jump."
Li Dongyu, the enlightenment coach of Olympic champion Shi Zhiyong, told this reporter that when he first met Shi Zhiyong in Guangxi, he let Shi Zhiyong try to stand up and jump long and touch high, and he knew in his heart that this child with a bright brain was a good seedling.
"Explosive power is the primary condition for weightlifting, and the first step in admissions is to set up a long jump."
Xu Yongqiang, head coach of the weightlifting team of Chen Jinglun Sports School, told this reporter that the weightlifting selection is to let all the children stand up and jump 3 times, and choose some well-proportioned and brain-wise children from the children left after reaching the standard.
Shi Zhiyong jumped into the jumping box more than a person tall
"If a boy is about 10 years old and can jump 2 meters, according to our rating, it is more than 85 points."
Xu Yongqiang said that there is a general standard for the selection of materials in the weightlifting circle, such as Lu Xiaojun, Shi Zhiyong, Li Fabin, such as Olympic champions, when they are 10 years old, they can jump to more than two meters by relying on the explosive power of their legs.
There was a rumor that the national weightlifting team players and sprint team runners in the 30-meter competition, the weightlifters did not lose to the sprinters, Xu Yongqiang confirmed this statement. He cited himself as an example:
"I started to practice weightlifting at the age of 12, and the best time in 30 meters is 3 seconds 9, and sprinting within 30 meters is definitely not lost to the track and field sprinters, and only sprinters who are 60 meters away can rely on the running technique on the way to get rid of the weightlifters. The long jump is not lost to the track and field team's long jumpers. ”
Su Bingtian practiced draping high flips
Xu Yongqiang observed that the height of China's 100-meter flyer legend Su Bingtian is much worse than that of European and American players, relying on amazing explosive power, if you change weightlifting, Su Bingtian is definitely the material for the world champion.
"Do you have your legs apart and your back straight, while squatting down to your hips close to the ground?" Coach Xu said.
In addition to explosiveness, the flexibility of weightlifters is also very good. Xu Yongqiang told this reporter that the kind of squat lifting action we see in the live TV broadcast in the game, if the ankle flexibility is not enough, ordinary people can not do it at all.
Many girls think that strength training has become a big thick leg, "King Kong Barbie"; many parents think that children who practice weightlifting will be pressed by barbells to grow tall.
Olympic champion Shi Zhiyong enlightened teacher Li Dongyu, Hangzhou Chen Jinglun Sports School weightlifting team head coach Xu Yongqiang, and China Bodybuilding Association professional coach Gong Miao told us that these are nonsense, ordinary people want to practice beautiful body curves, have beautiful hips, lift iron squat barbells but the effect is obvious.
You think of lifting weights: the legs will get thicker and thicker
wrong! The effect of grooming the body is good, and having peach buttocks is not a dream
The internet popularity of the Chinese weightlifting team may seem surprising, but a closer look reflects the charm of the weightlifting project in the world.
Because strength training is the foundation of all sports, and since the first modern Olympic Games held in Athens, Greece in 1896, men's weightlifting has been listed as one of the nine official sports, which illustrates the international status of this ancient sport.
Coach Shao Guoqiang has a deep understanding of this, "Weightlifting training can be said to be the method of concentrating the most strength training, and most of the practice methods in the gym are very much related to weightlifting training." ”
On the other hand, crossfit has now become popular in the fitness industry, which originated in the United States, emphasizing the comprehensive sports quality and mobilizing the sports of comprehensive physical functions, which has swept Europe and the United States in recent years, and the country is also slowly promoting. Fitness enthusiasts who value strength training are most important in the weightlifting program.
Gong Miao, senior personal trainer of Comfort Fort Fitness and professional coach of the China Bodybuilding Association, told reporters: "If you want a good body, strength training is very important, and the body needs strength training to carve." ”
A variety of strength training helps athletes develop strength and strengthen body function, and affects body composition by increasing muscle mass.
In the past, some little girls would refuse strength training, afraid of growing muscles, and thicker legs, but girls' weight-bearing levels and testosterone hormone were not as good as boys, unless they ingested a large amount of supplemental nutrition products and drugs, generally could not practice large muscle blocks, so it was unlikely to become a big thick leg or King Kong Barbie.
On the contrary, girls insist on strength training, with the increase of muscle mass, the body curve will get better and better, the clear vest line is about to come out, want to practice hips, and the effect of squatting and squatting barbells will also be obvious.
So now more and more girls participate in bodybuilding strength training, Zhejiang University professor, international level bodybuilding referee Cheng Luming told reporters that in Zhejiang University, female students who choose bodybuilding courses account for one-third of the total number of electives, and the number of girls in individual classes even exceeds that of boys.
And male fitness enthusiasts, seeing Lu Xiaojun's perfect line of muscle group, of course, will be envious of the drooling, want to be able to match him, only to work hard.
What you think of lifting weights: Children who practice weightlifting are not tall
wrong! It is beneficial to the development of height
"Students took the initiative to participate in weightlifting classes, and some parents knew that they were opposed."
The weightlifting project of Wanshizhen Middle School in Fuyang District has been carrying out a good momentum in the past two years, and the team led by physical education teacher Hong Jianjun has achieved good results in the Hangzhou Competition. He told this reporter that there are forty or fifty students who often come to participate in weightlifting classes, but many parents oppose their children's participation in this project, and the biggest concern of parents is "afraid that their children will not grow tall when practicing weightlifting", and another concern is to affect their children's academic performance.
Although the parents of these students have repeatedly explained that practicing weightlifting is also helpful for their children's sports examination projects, it is still difficult to reverse the misunderstanding of parents in a short period of time.
"Many parents are afraid that their children who have practiced weightlifting are not tall, which is really a big misunderstanding."
Xu Yongqiang said that this is a clichéd topic. In fact, weight training will not only not suppress the child's growth, but will promote height development. Proper strength training stimulation will promote bone growth and development, which is a very simple truth. When the child is young, he mainly practices the movements, and then practices the strength at a certain stage of development, which can promote the development of height.
"When selecting materials for weightlifting projects, it is generally necessary to select the upper limbs and lower limbs that are more symmetrical, and the lower limbs are short and the upper limbs are high, or the lower limbs are high and the upper limbs are short."
In fact, we have the impression that weightlifters are generally short, and it is precisely because the height of the arm and the length of the weight lifters do more work and are obviously more disadvantaged, so the weightlifting materials usually do not choose the players with slender limbs. But Xu Yongqiang said that in fact, observing the Olympic champions of the Chinese weightlifting team Li Fabin, Shi Zhiyong and Lü Xiaojun, although they are not tall, their figures are very well-proportioned.
Xiaoshan Sports School, Wanshizhen Middle School in Fuyang District, and Changhe Middle School in Binjiang District are relatively good weightlifting projects in Hangzhou. Xu Yongqiang said that the promotion was not enough, and many of his college classmates could not find a position as a weightlifting coach after graduation, and later changed their careers to become physical coaches.
Athletics, three big balls, three small balls, including swimming, boxing, sanda, taekwondo, judo, wrestling, all physical fitness projects are inseparable from weight training, insiders are more and more certain of this point, ordinary people need a process to understand this aspect.
"If it weren't for the epidemic prevention and control, we would have recently arranged a weightlifting competition to be held in the mall." Xu Yongqiang said that he hopes that more people can be exposed to weightlifting, and there will be no more misunderstandings like weightlifters who are bulky and have simple brains, and children who are not tall when practicing weightlifting.
