I always look like I almost can't do. That's the best part about training isn't it? Pushing to failure?

yea ...indeed it is.. but dem..im to scared to try my 1RM without spotting partner or a rack.. shit......

Well you can always try your 1RM for your deadlift.
And find spotters la. There'll be people around that will be willin to help.

HGH abs spotted

Don't be silly please. Weightlifters want to keep at a weight class. Le Maosheng competes at 62KG'S @ 160CMs. Why would he possibly want with HGH? It's easy for them to already hit their competitive bodyweight without HGH.

The effects of HGH:

* Increases calcium retention, and strengthens and increases the mineralization of bone
* Increases muscle mass through sarcomere hyperplasia
* Promotes lipolysis
* Increases protein synthesis
* Stimulating the growth of all internal organs excluding the brain
* Plays a role in fuel homeostasis
* Reduces liver uptake of glucose
* Promotes gluconeogenesis in the liver[13]
* It contributes to the maintenance and function of pancreatic islets
* It stimulates the immune system

Weightlifters don't need to risk being tested for drugs for these functions of the drugs.

You forgot to mention HGH speeds up injury recovery + joints recovery, which is the most important function.

At first i am a bit skeptical but now that u told me he's famous, i have more reason to believe so 'cos HGH is expensive.

i am analyzing the pic that u said about hgh, what exactly do you see? i dun get it.. i see many other builders better definition of abs than him, just maybe his is a little lopsided ? warrants for hgh ?

massive wings tho..!

The puffy abs...

He's still amazing tho...
I'm not taking away any of his credit.
I am a fan of UFC and MMA... lotsa ppl take that stuff, including my idols...
So, it's pretty normal when u're at that level of competition.

Chinese training methods have FAR FAR more methods to recover than merely HGH. They've also got their own recovery foods. They believe in eating snake, turtles, worms and bugs which the Western would would scream at. They also have a massage therapist for every lifter. For joint recovery they would have acupuncture and they believe sea cucumber helps as well as the cartilage off animals.

HGH isn't even a drug that weightlifters usually take. They would take test that's for sure. His abs are like that because he needs a strong core to hold the weights overhead. When you're holding 180KG'S overhead, you need thick abs. My coach has a thick core, would you say he's taking HGH?

dont you ppl think this guy need your comments ?? care more on our forumers and less on your idols please

That guy?
Need more shoulders, arms, back...
but he is ripped.... so should go on a bulking season soon.

his body is kinda small...
bulking definitely needed.
he got the package except size. =.=

Thank you for the comments. Yes, my body is kind of small. Now I'm bulking up.

those 2 girl in that video, training for what? weightlifiting?

wow... eyes on the gurl nia...

SO TRUE,Li Hongli, one of the best body of weightlifter i've ever seen SERIOUS.



About Li HongLi

hoping to get some pizzaboy feedback since you're offline now.

Today was hitting back 127.5kg squat.

I did
60kg x 5
85kg x 5
105kg x 5
117.5kg x 5
127.5kg x 2
127.5kg x 2 (got up on my own but with a struggle)
127.5kg x 1 (failed the second rep, I was descending back into the hole but the spotter got me up)

Was major dodge. I don't think I wanna keep at this anymore. It was a good 6 weeks or so. Exam time coming and I feel that this is very injury prone.

I think that was good progress, what do you reckon?

wahhh...girl in tudung training weightlifting siut...

I don't get it. Why didn't you just drop to 117.5KG since you got all 5 reps with that weight? You could have just did 117.5KG x 5 x 5 or 3 x 5 with that. Remember when I said, listen to your body? If it doesn't feel like doing 127.5KG today, then fcuk it. Just go to 117 instead.

Though my 1RM is 180KG's, there are also days when I drop all the way down to 150KG to do 5 x 3 also. If you meet days when you're body feels 70%, you just can't push it to 80%. The most common reason people get into injuries really, is because they do not listen to their bodies. I've not met any injuries for a long time already (the most common injury=torn callouses)

Maybe I didn't tell you this but the reason this method doesn't really need to be changed often is because you're supposed to listen to your body. There are days when you feel like this low rep shit isn't going to work, change it to a 4x10 set @ a percentage where you can complete it for two or three weeks, to get a lil hypertrophy going on there and to increase your work capacity for a bit.

Then go back to sets of 5x1, 5x3, 3x3 or stuff like that because that's the amount that will give you the fastest strength gains.

Work towards your goals, but give it a little change for a while, then return to the real thing. It's the same like school. Study, relax, study.


What do you reckon?

Do the 20 reppers for 6-8 weeks if you can. The 2nd one's hopeless.

Yeah, and in 4 weeks of training she's squatted 50KG x 5 x 5 @ 17 y/o, 52KG BW. That's not amazing, but it's impressive gains.

squatted 50kg?
wtf... =.=
she is way lot better compared to some of us here.
actually a lot of us here. =.=
for a gal to squat her own bodyweight... thats jaw opening. =.=
seriously... i respect her. muahaha... =.=
and she is 17 years old...
pretty darn good... =.=
