Lü Xiaojun (Chinese: 吕小军; pinyin: Lǚ Xiǎojūn; born 27 July 1984) is a Chinese weightlifter. He is an Olympic champion and five time world champion competing in the 77 kg category until 2018 and 81 kg starting in 2018 after the International Weightlifting Federation reorganized the categories.
Start memeing him instead of the clearly photoshopped chad guy that was probably made for porn purposes.
Yeah, and you can see people like Lu (and the whole Olympic team, both men and women) are built like bodybuilders; the Chinese team trains with bodybuilding techniques for strength.
Really they’ve been doing that sport since childhood and have been selected over and over again to be in the national team, which is really not that different from what capitalist countries do – because sometimes libs will invoke the Asiatic Horde myth with that.
Do you have any books to recommend on Soviet physical education methods?
Sorry I’m not well versed on this topic’s literature, but you could maybe look into the USSR’s Ready for Labour and Defence programme and see where else it takes you.
Thanks, I’ll see what I can dig up and may make a post for !swoletariat@lemmygrad.ml if I find anything interesting.
