The thumbnail 😂😂

Imagine if this dude could do a nasty split jerk? He'd be unstoppable.

85 Tian is a beast

As the show progresses, more and more objects will gain googly eyes 👀. I can already see the microphone, in the upper right corner, being next. And then the antlers on the left.

his interviews with squat jerk journalist really show his personality

will miss him

apology for poor mandarin

when were you when tian tao career was kill?

i was squat at home eating soba noodle when chat ring

'tian tao retire'

'no'

I legit shed a tear when he made that retirement post. He is the only man in the world that can beat karlos nassar in the CJ.

I have deadlifted 230KG/507LBS many times now and everytime I just can’t understand how Tian Clean and Jerked! Its absolutely absurd

On IG he said he would still compete?

What brand are the knee sleeves?

Oh yeah...

If he is retiring for real this time I hope he goes full Klokov from here. It would be awesome to see him just push the clean and the squat especially since those are clearly the things he's best at. Idk about now but if 2019 Tian had a chance to train solely for the clean I think he'd have done at least 250, insane to think about for someone weighing under 100. He's easily one of if not the most impressive cleaner to ever live.

just FYI, you said “Mr Tao”, his family name is Tian, so it’s “Mr Tian”

2 sets of eyes this time. I like it

LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY 😢

Artyom did 281 FS, as a 96 I believe?

Thanks lads, love this. My all time favourite weightlifter, feels cold now he's gone

Nice analogy about the spaghetti and the salt and pepper there

He has attempted a 236 C&J at 2018 worlds. Missed the jerk, but the clean was so smooth. Probably the best sub 100kg bw clean ever. Moradi cleaned 237 that comp, but it was a grind. I honestly wouldn’t have been surprised if he was able to clean 250 at some point, definitely well into the 240s.

His best power clean & jerk on camera is arguably his 205kg as an 85kg in competition💪🏋‍♂

A prominent Chinese weightlifting coach once used Tian's lower back as a visual aid for bracing on social media. When I asked if it could have anything to do with his uniquely hyper-developed erectors, he said only looks that way due to Tian's bracing technique. 😂

that 280 front squat was definitely when he was competing as an 85 - because he did another 280 at 96 and it looked like a feather.

Plant.

big squats will always win
