indeed, great vids mate, i watched em all except the one titled 'chinese kids'......... just in case:icon_puz: I dont wanna go back to jail, not ever.it was all one big mistake anyway, i was helping him.

The chinese kids are either really motivating or really depressing depending on which way you look at it; 50kg 14 year olds who clean and jerk 115kg and back squat 170kg!

depressing for the kid with no life outside the weight room or depressing because they are stronger?

[Boar]

probably both.

but i guess ,especially if they are from a poor background, they get given the chance to do thing lots of other kids dont, they probably have grown to love their sport i just hope they are all natural, no special shakes just yet.

The Chinese lifters started out after being selectively chosen in their preteens and now train three times a day in special training camps. Then they're nurtured along until they reach world-class level but kept away from international competition, thereby making sure that they're not available for testing until the time is right. When they feel that a particular lifter is ready, they conduct their own drug test. If they're not clear, they simply send another athlete in her place, such is the depth of quality in their country.

Its pretty sad because out of thousands of people chosen in the entire country, only a handful make it big time..... so what happens to the rest who also dedicated their childhood to training....

interesting article, i kinda feel for them a bit now.
