"Strange Chinese exercises"
The reason the Chinese tend to have very "strange' exercises has much more to do with the BUILD of their athletes which subsequently influences the TECHNIQUE they use to lift.
Repeat after me.
Understand Build -> Develop Technique -> Develop Program
This is also another reason why it is so extremely difficult, to ETHICALLY build an online mentorship program for weightlifting.
I've only managed to understand this, as I learn the technique of the Europeans, quite ironically. Every exercise the Chinese have created, DOES have a place and purpose.
