Also Chinese believe that if you cannot maintain good technique if you're tired, that'd show that you lack practice and skill. And Chinese, STRONG? C'mon. We're Asians for god's sakes. We're genetically smaller and weaker than 90% of Europeans. If we didn't perfect technique, we don't have an edge anymore. Why do you think almost all Chinese lifters technique looks almost perfectly similar ?


So true! I noticed this at the last Olympics when that Chinese dude won. I find that Westerners tend to be more rotund whereas the Chinese are a bit more solid.

I gave up trying to lift the heaviest weight a long time ago. I'm stronger than ever but I still look like poorly made tofu. Right now it's all about Form + Technique > Weights.
