The intermediate athlete squatted 3-4 sessions/week and the advanced would squat more if needed. Squatting varied depending on athlete weakness. To lift big you have to be strong and the chinese have strong legs, could you give an example of a typical squat session or leg strength session and was there any thing you picked up on technique (also you thoughts on how they have got to the point they are so strong that they can squat like 3x there BW)? A lot of western science says 3-5 min between heavy sets but that was unheard of in China even with heavy squats or pulls. Personally, my training has improved vastly with shorter rest periods. In general though rest was short around 60-90 secs, this was much different than what you might read in western strength books. Once again it was all dependant on the athlete. Up to 2 mins rest was mostly at 85-90%+ plus. The girls tend to rest a bit less 1-2 mins and even less on the warmup sets. A lot of it is done by athletes feel so there is no set amount of rest. Rest periods are surprisingly short between sets and reps. We know the Chinese weightlifters train at high intensity, how long usually are there rest periods between each lift or pull etc? I believe with proper recruitment, training and a lot of competition they are able to achieve the results. Winning Chinese nationals is seen as great prestige because the athletes know if they win Nationally, they can easily win at an international venue because Chinese nationals are very competitive. Lastly, the weak is weeded out by putting athletes through years of rigorous and HARD training. They are successful for many reasons, they recruit early, provide support and proper development to the athlete. I believe the Chinese dominance is multi-faceted. Yatin expresses, “I wanted to learn their ways and why the Chinese are so dominant.”įrom looking back at your experience in China, what do you think the main reasons why they are so successful at weightlifting in relevance to their training? He says “I think i got lucky with the timing and i am very thankful to him for letting me have the opportunity.” Since he started weightlifting 3 years ago he’d always watched the Chinese weightlifters and wondered about their training so when the opportunity came, he was more than happy to take it. Coach Jianping Ma was leading a delegation of athletes to China and he happened to get a spot. He got the opportunity to go to China through his coach. We spoke to Yatin Parasher, a 25 year old Canadian Weightlifter, who competes provincially and nationally.
