Lu Xiaojun’s 270kg / 595lbs Squat session at worlds!

5 Reds! 35 year old Lu Xiaojun (81kg China 🇨🇳) squatting 270kg / 595lbs! ATG Patrons can watch the full session. He did this a few days before winning gold at the 2019 Worlds over his teammate Li Dayin. We’ve said this before but it’s worth repeating: whatever else the Chinese do right from a programming and technique standpoint, they are STRONG. Did this help Lu when he needed to make 207kg on his third for gold? We’ll never know for certain, but it almost certainly didn’t hurt! Keep that in mind the next time you think of skipping some squat sets 😜 #squats #squat #backsquat #powerlifting #olympicweightlifting

Lu Xiaojun with 50kg back extensions + static holds! Tag who you wish would hold you tight like Coach Yu & @tiantao96kg 😁 All jokes aside—Lower back work is ESSENTIAL for stability in the classic lifts! Back extensions (weighted or not) should be a key part of the training of every weightlifter, assuming injury or other problems don’t prevent them from being used. You can watch the complete training session on ATG’s Patreon page.
