From the 2017 Chinese National Games …
23 year old Tian Tao (85kg ??) Cleaning 223kg (3kg above world record)!
After a 205kg Power Jerk (gold medal), he gave 222kg and 223kg a shot to beat his own national record (221kg).

170kg Snatch
Here is his 170kg snatch (after missing it on his second attempt).
Full 85kg Recording
Imagine if they let him bulk up to 96 kg and make a go at a 250kg clean.
It doesn’t work like that though does it?…
Most likely not unless he’s of the caliber of Ilya [including the amazing supplements]. It seems like 223 was a joke as far as clean goes. 223@85 = 240ish@94?
Yeah he could probably do that but it’s just frustrating to watch him failing 9 out of 10 attempts. Clean is just a part of the lift – without the jerk it’s nothing.
I agree, the frustration level his coaches must feel every time he misses! He might be a genius (if he bombs out its basically just a vacation). He’s also the most inconsistent lifter of all time lol
Hello Mr. Winter,
Do you know if Tian or Lu will compete in any events located in the USA in 2018. I was hoping to see them in Anaheim, CA, but then the unfortunate 1 year ban was placed them.
I don’t think so.
