Team China is sharing their weightlifting knowledge to us? This is gold.

Hey, great idea for a series. There is definitely a big demand to see a bit behind the curtains of the chinese weightlifting team.
One thing I'd like to see, and I imagine many others, given how inhumanely jacked these athletes are, is following the accessory work for a day or two in the gym.
Not only the bodybuilding, but the different prehab/rehab work, maybe with a interview of the experts. I see alot of cool exercises being done, like the reverse plan you showed.
I hope the series becomes a success, thanks in advance!

I've noticed over the years that the basic template for Team China's weightlifting program (for men at least) is pretty standard, as mentioned in this video:

Monday - Snatch and Snatch complexes/pulls
Tuesday - Back or Front Squat, Jerk / Jerk assistance (like dips or pressing)
Wednesday - Clean/Clean & Jerk, Clean pulls
Thursday - Off/active recovery
Friday - Snatch, Snatch Pulls, or Snatch and Clean & Jerk
Saturday - Back or Front Squat, Jerk
Sunday - Off

its pretty simple - the magic lies more so in the training environment, phasing in training, day to day alterations from coaching observation and athlete input, and the care these guys have access to, plus doing this for much much longer (since childhood in some cases). There's no real secret in terms of programming methodology, just sticking to basics and adapting to individual needs over time( unless we want to discuss any special flintstone gummies but that's a "secret" every nation has and another subject).

I'd say "you don't have to train 2-3x a day to make progress" based on this video, but I'm sure quite a number of them do train that often. Lu probably doesn't need to due to his age and the face that his technique is so heavily engrained into him after nearly 3 decades of training. A younger and newer athlete looking to dial everything in and train as hard as their body can recover from, might opt for the higher frequency approach though.

Your channel is probably the best thing that happened to YouTube. Ever.

[tackywacky]

0:23 bigger brothers clapping for the smaller guy is exactly the reason why the chinese team is the best.

I’m in between coaches for the next two weeks so I’m gonna use this template in the mean time to program for myself to keep myself going!
