Fun fact, Shi put in 201kg as his 3rd attempt and trolled everyone! Full session on Patreon.

Lifting 169kg on the 4/20 dude did it for the memes

Funny how Shi in an interview said all he has to do is Clean 190kg and he auto wins lol. He wasn't lying

In a recent interview in China, Shi basically said his recovery wasn't going well recently but he's eager to fight for glory.

Dude just broke his own records today again in Olympic bruh

Zack & Seb .... Best commentary partnership so far! IMO

Really sad he wasnt feeling well..I wish him the best

who's here after Tokyo?

went back here after watching Squat Jerk Journalist's video on Shi's warm up. It's amazing that he made his snatches after missing a lot in the back room.

I know that he's very animated when he lifts but I worry when I see a guy of his fitness level look so close to collapsing after his lifts

Shi (73kg) snatched 169 when the world record for 81kg was173.

ALL BOW TO YOUR KING SHI ZHIYONG!! WOCAOOO!!

Dimaslpo is Fernando Reis first coach at Pinheiros.

He got tired of winning every other day, absolutely Mogged.

what an incredibly strong human being. Also obscenely jacked lol

I had an illness once which left me getting light headed every time I went heavy in compound lifts. I was still exactly as strong but just got dizzy every time. I wonder if Shi has the same

Please do a full commentary for the olympics with zack, you 2 have good chemistry

Idk if Shi Zhiyong had to cut weight for the Asian Championships, but if he had to cut too much fluid that can increase overall fatigue.

Again let’s give Clarence some love here!! How many men lift such massive weights without any prospect of winning gold medals etc It’s quite astonishing !!

Him using his own chalk and sweating heavily indicates him fighting an illness (Yes, I copied this from a comment thread, thought it's worth highlighting)

He’s saving it for a bigger stage

@6:52 I think there he shakes his had to signal skipping the last attempt

Someone said he has an injury on his back/waist. Not sure if this source is accurate though.

Again 👏

170/200 Tokyo baby!

Alexeev used to chalk the bar

I think that he focus the whole preparation to beat his snatch wr thats why he was kind of weak in his cj (despite winning in his first cj attempt lmao)

I just love his openness and honesty A lot of young promising athletes need to hear his point of view so that they don’t give up when they see their adversaries suddenly beat them because now they’re cheating and are on that juice Just worry about yourself because if you don’t it depressing And learn life skills, a trade etc so that you can get a good job Olympic lifting is TOO dirty to make a dent in The corruption

Dominant lift

monster

He reached 170 snatch in China National game

I wish I was 10th of that strong! What a beast!

Do you know, how many whas his exact bodyweight?

Waiting for GOATA movements ppl to comment on shi's form

Dude looks like he's borderline passing out and then goes out and lifts world records

Shi is the true GOAT!!!!

His personal best is 170kg snatch 205kg c n jerk. What a champ!

Possibly a rough weight cut?

Shi got a heat stroke before the competition that's why he looked like that

At 6:30, did he say Tang? Yes we have Tang. Tang has been to the moon with our astronauts, ffs! (allegedlys)

Zack was seeeeething it wasn’t a Japanese lifter with the record.

Zack your tripping we have tang in america.

WO CAO

Ting is not rare is just a caribbean grapefruit soda seb! 🤣 Ting with wray & nephew cannot be beat

Wwwwwooooooo ccccccaaaaaaoooooo!!!!

Sheeeeeeeee

He could have easily lifted 1 more kg on both lifts...

He probably had to cut more weight than usual? Maybe?

He can do 170/200 easily.

Shi picked 194kg so he could qualify to Tokyo, and plus he have a back injury.

Shi has put himself in an unusual situation in that he completes against himself and the record books. His goal entering every contest should be the gold medal and the world records. Once he secures the gold in the snatch with the 160, why waste energy with the 164??? i would directly go to 169/170 while you are fresh. At this point, he's already warmed. After winning the contest with the 190, what is the point of the 194?? I would take 2 cracks at 199/200. Now, you have 4 attempts at the WR instead of 2. Maybe the Chinese coaches know something i don't. Please advise

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Honestly shi could of been simply dehydrated, it can cause a drop in blood pressure which causes light headedness

It's cumbacha

He could medal at 81 if he wanted to.

definitely not feasible, but I think it would be really funny if people just put something ridiculous as there third like if he did 203 kg, and just deadlifts it up

What the hell was that man drinking?

Who tf is Zack T?

You mean you dont feel like you're going to pass out after a heavy lift? Weird haha

I honestly wonder if he's getting too jacked for his class and has to cut too much weight now. Cutting too much weight will definitely zap your cardio and can cause you to pass out

Fancyleaf It’s obvious you have not read any of my previous comments. I’m surmising here, theorizing etc. I believe that IF again IF Clarence lifted clean from day one he could do 170/210 if not more Again CLEAN I’ve been around several world class lifters who were lifetime clean and they were Half the athlete Clarence is His lifts dirty are VERY impressive-training lifts or not HE DOESN’T TRAIN on a national team !!!!! Give the man a LITTLE credit for the love of God!!

I say its his lower back

In a dirty Olympics

Zack and Sb maybe could learn to lift heavy from Shi for starters.

This is theatrics so he makes people think he's going to not make it. This is what Lu did with his back and when he won it was no big deal. It's soccer weightlifting

And I also realize other people are juicing That’s not the point of these comments But anyways ...

Steroids getting that bp to the max huh?

The exhaustion post list is definitely a bit concerning, he hasn't always done that right? Too much tren maybe?

To fancyleaf Why is it a joke? are you expert on Clarence’s potential? Are you his coach ? How do you know what he can or can’t do ? ALL I’m stating is that I am very impressed with what he has achieved so far ON HIS OWN!!!!! He’s an absolute athletic freak and I will venture to say that he’s a better athlete than sorab Moradi or many of the Chinese lifters ! And at least HE HAS THE BALLS to say it like it is when it comes to drug use And I maintain that I can totally see Clarence doing 170/210 without drugs if not more and he would probably medal in a CLEAN Olympic I also think that in a team training atmosphere with a coach etc Clarence would probably do 185/230+ And wouldn’t that be a medal ??

It's not diet coke. it's Chinese soysauce.

this chinese guy acts more like an american :(

dude is on too much juice.

You don’t think Clarence could medal with a 410 kgs total ?!?! And he trains under less than ideal circumstances: ie. A National team Come on folks!!!

Plot twist shi has Corona and still destroyed the competition.

Did you READ my comments? Do you know how to read? I wrote that i believe Clarence has not always been dirty and I believe he did decent lifts without drug Fa when he started...my point was that he WOULD MEDAL in the CLEAN olympics

His body is so twisted in the bottom of the snatch, looks unsafe

Athletes caught dirty in the clean olympics would suffer lifetime bans No rules in the dirty olympics !!

The replies to my comments exactly illustrate my point: no one truly gives a crap about steroids because at the end of the day most casual fans we be ooed and awed for a short while and then move on...like going to a SF Giants game twenty years ago and watching barry bonds hit yet another home run ...these fans don’t care about the minor leaguer who’s not making it to the big league because he’s not big enough or the high schooler who becomes tempted into juicing because he sees others do it ...very very sad. AGAIN I want to see dirty athletes have the balls to just say it like it is ...enough of them do it then we can ALL STOP pretending...then people can make a choice and join the clean olympics or the dirty olympics...and I’m prepared to assure you that the clean athletes live a LOT longer than the dirty ones But yes I agree with all of you those lifts are impressive but again who cares! That’s why I greatly admire the top power lifters like Louie Simmons’ boys: they have the BALLS to tell you they’re juicing and they know that when they take them they are entering into a DIFFERENT arena But these men don’t compare themselves to clean power lifters because they have PRIDE and INTEGRITY

He's going to injure his backside one of these days if he keeps falling over after lifts.

Does anyone actually read my comments ? I do know Clarence is not natural He was at some point natural and I think he would have done good weighs natural

I hate being “that guy”...but it’s interesting to see the animation and giddiness from the commentators witnessing these amazing lifts..we’re a week removed from discussing steroids in sports on this channel and these few instances of boyish wonderment in these two’s part starkly remind us that in the end I don’t think anyone truly cares who’s taking steroids or not for the show must go on ...I’m actually not especially impressed by these lifts anymore because these Chinese lifters and many others cannot be fairly compared to the lifters I look up to and they should be judged by different standards...let there be a clean weightlifting Olympic Games ...can these other dirty athletes just have a dirty Olympic Games ? I wouldn’t mind having two ...I say that because sadly WE (the knowing fans) never get to see the clean athletes compete on TV because well...they’re in the B, C, D groups ....and these are not televised You see where I’m going with this?....

Chinese drugs better than other countries drugs 😁

So guys you shreded the bulgarian guy at the Euros, nothing t say about the Italian, like the Italians are a world force in the weightliftin, and here - the guy is hardly standing on his feet, clearly dehydrated at least, nevertheless he snatches more than the 81 kg category at the Euros and making a new World Record?!?!?! Just by drinking green tea.... Right. Nothing to do with being heavily juiced up. That is purely humanly possible. Now the hate can start.

Clean olympics every four years ! Dirty olympics every other four years , alternating fashion Clarence Kennedy would probably have medaled in both! Clarence can probably do 170/210 without drugs with his tremendous athleticism
