This video will spark the next generation big time.
When will you collab with Clarence?
Vegan lifting kids. You can do it!
Big facts
Wow
What a tremendous collab this would be. Get to Ireland, Daniel!
Even when he was weak, he was strong
His first PR's are better than my current lifts that took years to build 😭
@Mertimer Wesley im confused why are you so angry
@Mertimer Wesley 😰
@@abdulbutt8694 read his comment history lmao. I don't think he's well
I mean it's the start of the transformation and he's doing muscle-ups
His lifts aside, one of the more impressive things is how Clarence has 15 years of footage of himself exercising.
Clarenspiracy...
💯
each time he remembers to record his lifts.
Until recently he saw lots of people post things on youtube and also he realized he also has lots of short videos stored on his devices, with timestamps too.
And viola, he made this video from them.
Jesus Christ is Lord. And He is Coming Soon. Speak up about the vaccine. Dont take it and Warn The People ❤🙏🏼✝️
@@UDGMTVLINK beta male
While I was a teenager worrying if I'll ever have a girlfriend, Clarence was out there outlifting everyone. What a legend.
And there is no problem with that
I remember being the strongest kid in school when i was 14/5, Clarence lifting what I can now at 15 is terrifying, and I'm only 17
"I'm just a guy who's an elite level olympic lifter for fun"
Best comment 😭😂
Yep
Top tier Darren
ONE LIIFFFTTT!!!!
Clarnece Kennedy
He is god
Clarence is the closest thing us humans have to peak overall human performance. Strong, big, lean, powerful, athletic, limber, fast. Everything
A true freak of nature
That would be abdulrashid sadulaev
He's not natural. By that i mean he's using PEDs.
@@dzimikes I would agree, but the higher in weight class he goes the slower and less mobile he becomes
@@thedreamz9376 yes but he has insane flexibility, speed, strength and intelligence. He's a peak human form.
Man, you guys do NOT want to see a video compilation of what I was doing from 13 to 20.
lol
LMAO
Rofl
Man, now when 12 year olds on the internet say they can beat me up I can never be sure again they can't
Good one HAHAHAJHAHAJAJAAA
Best comment so far.
Tbf clarence is another kind of breed.
Look up 14 year old Mike Tyson, lol.
This man really did one arm pushups and pistol squats at 13
Bro did human flag too
Excellent work ethic....
Busy while young will be rewarding and now the results show for themselves
@@EM-tx3ly ofc he has the work ethic too, but this man has 0.000001% genetics, not everbody could yield the same results with his work ethic
@@rockyx_x
True
His parents got the jackpot lol
I did my first pistol squat at 14 and one arm push-up at 15 or so
Clarence must have absolutely amazing connections in his central nervous system. His agility transferred right into strength training seamlessly.
Perhaps agility and prioritizing movement is the key to strength??
@@daily6633 being born as clarence kennedy is key to strength, shut up
Lots of gymnasts who change their mind as a career go into olympic lifting. Seems like a good matchup lol
@@jameswilkes451Make sense considering people who do gymnastics really understand mind muscle connection and know how to activate the right muscle and form… since callesthinichs/body-weight is all about form and strength.
@@daily6633 Absolutely. What prevents you from injuring yourself from a fall when you get older? Raw strength or being agile, flexible and elastic? Ofc don't skip the weights 😂
Who here is also just training to be as strong as a 16 year old Clarence😂? The guy is truly a wizard 🧙♂️
Just built different
I’m 30 and I just squatted 315 for 5 last week. I mean...I was excited about it...until I saw this haha
@Sky Guy That's amazing. You are a beast 😆🏋️
fucking scares me. . .
@@scottmalleus4847 i just started lifting ~3/4 years ago, gonna b 30 as well in a few months. lol this acutally is sad. the worse part is i'm much bigger than 16y/o clarence too, maybe a 1-3% more bf
you know it's gonna be good when it starts with a muscle up at 12
fuck yes jajaja a
So much for NO weight training before age 16, I was always told it will stunt your growth.
@Devil if u broke ur knees your in a certain way ur height will stop, not myth but still overdrama
@@FORMDOG I started weight training at 11, then stopped at 13 and did calisthenics, and at 17 I’m going back to weight lifting
@@hrsmp average height is not 6'0 mate and the reason you stopped growing was because most boys stop growing at around the ages of 16-17. In most developed countries average heighr is like 5'8 or 5'9 and clarence in 5'10 which is not bad. Weight training stunting your growth is all a myth unless your training with bad form which can cause injury and stunt growth
13:44 God this moment is just so badass
Clarence grunting on the heavy lifts to try and convince us he's a human
this is the origin of a true real life anime character training to avenge his parents
Ya he resembles baaki the grappler character
Baki and Yujiro
The manga was better
@@NeuronActivation novel was better
@@kanekilife4885 live action was better
Clarence has finally entered the final training arc. Here we see a flashback montage of the previous training, showing the progress...soon he will take on his final battle and reclaim his squat honour. This will go down in anime history.
Truly the shamrock ninja 🥷.... I bet ninjargo should do a new series with a character that has Irish ☘️ accent
To bad he didn't post his best lifts
this is actually true. he said in a interview that his explositivity is fainting with age but his strength isn't. so he said if he's going for the 200 kg satch he only has one last push before he becomes a powerlifter
He say he can pause squat 310 kg, i think he already beat squat senpai, but didnt show it right now.
@@benadryllegend141 its true :( but its perfect. like a good anime
I always find videos like this dope, people see him and just see the final product but don't understand the years of hard work and dedication it took to achieve that.
Seriously impressive stuff mate. Well done!
You know it is going to be good when the Transformation video starts with things you cant do
His journey started with muscle ups. Some people make a transformation/journey video to achieve muscle-ups and this madlad Irishman started his journey with them.
Pretty much says everything about the genetics
@@johntrains1317 Hes literally 1 in a million.
@@NeuronActivation yeah. His discipline is 1 in a billion. The guy is lanky, skinny, and tall. Worst genetics for lifting. And he still is the best.
I actually struggled to get muscle-ups for a long time. I did a lot of calisthenics when I was younger before I knew what it was. I didn't just start doing them on day 1 lol.
@@clarence0 Did you also play a lot of games like the rest of us?
This is literally insane 🔥 bap re !!! This level of consistency 🙏🙏hats off 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️🖤
You are a different breed. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
YES! I trained for 20years finally as strong as 17 year old clarence.
I am trained 20 years too i am at Clarence 15 now ...maybe we can use him as a scale ....SO you are superior to me cos you are CLA17 and i am only CLA15 :D
@@marekdzurak1867 🤣brilliant mate
DW about the years of training, most people are better gifted at distance running rather than powerlifting.
@@yo-no9879 Humans are endurance hunters, after all
Wich still means you are fuuuckiiing strong m8
15 years of training is definitely the most impressive thing about all this
Oh for sure. I hope he eases up though, those knees are pretty high mileage for his age. I'd love to know his recovery routine.
Equally impressive is having the same haircut for 15 years
That's NOT EVEN CLOSE to the most impressive thing about this. There are millions of people who've been training for 15 years and even a lot longer. It's about the world class lifts he's putting up, you can 0basically count the number of people in this world that can outperform him with your fingers.
Nah a lot of people train 15 years but never come even close to half this level
@@mickey5764so rather, not training for 15 years but instead training for 15 years and never letting up/getting relaxed into a routine

Bro you're pure inspiration and motivation. Keep on and stay healthy
I have watched this guy's videos 100 times and his dedication and focus never ceases to make me emotional
He's the unrealistically buff high school anime character
Except he isnt buff. He is literally pure strength. He is ripped out of his mind.
@@nathanielb3502 q we
He should switch to bodyweight exercises.
There is more for him to discover....
@@j.westbestoftherest9102 Im sure he does those. Look at those flips he is doing!
@@nathanielb3502 yea that’s the thing about him he’s not especially large and never has been, just a freak athlete
Now THIS is what a Training Transformation video should be.
None of that _"Influencer Aesthetics"_ tearjerker bullshit, but pure PRs and athleticism at its finest.
Well this is a 15 year training transformation not a body transformation, lol.
This is what a respectable transformation video looks like. Not the cringefest physique transformations accompanied by the most dramatic music
hey it's the MP7 guy
@@dex4216 It's a body transformation too. You think his body composition hasn't change after 15 years? Lol
90 % of his Squats are extremly wrong and will bring him in trouble at his 40s 50s. Dont try this by yourself.
Impressive video, so many years of consecutive footage shows the dedication.
thanks for sharing, inspiring as hell mate
watching you squat 375 at 16 with shoes that a dad would wear at a cookout was ego crushing
😂😂😂
Raw as well
Also 100 kg snatch in the same fricking shoes wtf
Lmao
lmao extremely well put
Not even exaggerating to say that with that strength and agility combined, he might be one of the most physically advanced humans alive.
Should be the next van damme
Haha bold of you to assume he's a human
Top that with long distance running, he would be a powerhouse 👀
@Waldel Martell Don't forget Tom Boyden
@Waldel Martell Larry Wheels can't walk 2 minutes down the street without having to stop and gasp for air lmao
This man is a hard rock. I only discovered his channel recently and found out he even trained in 2012 in my home town's weightlifting club. He was this good that a professional sport club in different country took him for national league's challenges. And his movement abilities... What a legend, inspiring generations.

Amazing. Thank you for sharing. Very inspiring
Squatting over 500 pounds at 17 yo. A true freak of nature with the work ethic to match it.
Wow I bought $TSLA and made over 1000% because of you. Great to see you here.
thanks man. made 40k because of you on tesla. put ten thousand for a downpayment on a tesla and still have the rest in tesla stock.
One armed pushups at 13
Tian Tao squat 630+ pounds at 17
You could tell early on he had crazy talent early on from his tricking videos back in '06. I'm the same age and was trying the same stuff at the same time and couldn't even get close to what he was doing.
not a single belt was used in this video
cuz they look wierd
Thats because he trained at hogwarts.
@@felipecme Almost all world class weightlifters wear one, are they doing it the wrong way?

You inspired me to being weightlifting and I just maxed clean and jerk @160 and I was so happy, thank you
This guy at 15 is stronger than 95% of human population XD
Saying 95% means that 5 in every 100 men can do what he was able to do at 15 years of age.

Not on larry wheels when it comes to all gym lift. Lol
@@riddleboxranger juice or not larry is quite impresive. Imagine if he's not juice on his teenage days, still strong af

in 30 yrs, clarence will be that old guy in the gym saying "Back in my day i could squat 200kg before i was legally able to drink"
Only difference is, it wont be a lie XD
Well I bet u hell still squat over 200kg when hes 70...so that wont happen lol
That.

hearing clarence grunt is one of the most eargasm things ever
I don’t know how, you did this, but God bless you for your dedication and accomplishments
This was arguably the greatest workout motivation video I have ever seen . It clearly shows what happens when kids don’t waste key growth hormone/ puberty years on frivolous stupidity. Wow Clarence
Man I’m so pissed I stopped going to the gym back when I was 17. Now I’m 23 and watching this video makes me mad lol. I’ve been grinding again for 6 months ish (2 months gone due to lockdown )now and honestly can’t live without anymore. But I had such a different mindset back then.
What is his achievement? Lifting more and more weight? Cant see the point in that. Maybe 1000 years ago had a point, but nowadays its just ego and selfadoration. You dont need to lift 200kg to be healthy and strong I tell you that.
@@luislosada4813 Agree that some people's over-fascination with physical strength is sad, often indicative of a lower class of human. The mind built and rules this world. Even did so 1000 years ago.
@@brightfuture0959 at first I was impressed with his ninja skills until I saw it was just lifting weighs. What a waste of talent.
@@luislosada4813 All motivation, is self motivation. Self confidence is scare in today's youth, if lifting provides that then I'm ok with it. Beats joining a gang or playing video games.

Truly impressive discipline. You are an inspiration
Yea but he also played games, best of both worlds

he's a bloody strong bloke, that one.
Aye
Simple as
Damn and he still does a back flip after lifting that, most are on the verge of passing out after that lol
I think it has something to do with unloading. He probably feels very free in his body to the point he could just flip around all day

Most kids only train when they play sports. (Notice how much stronger he got during teenage years prime growing years to add extra stress on your body and if you're like mike tyson and don't fuck for 3 years you become a monster)
I see someone who mastered their own body weight and then went onto master lifts with heavier and heavier weight over and over. And over

Salut mec 😎 au top ta performance tu assure grave 👍🏻
Très sympa ta vidéo elle motive grave en la regardant 💪🏻
The best transformation video of all time, period
What's really incredible though is how relatively unassuming you remained the whole time, like you're obviously jacked but no one would expect you to be squatting 500 fucking lbs at that size regardless of your age. The amount of power you were able to achieve with as minimal bulk as you actually put on is the stuff of legend.
@@rdmrdm25 what?
Powerlifting is the only way to go, strength over mass.
He’s gifted ngl you will never see anyone looking like this lifting this much if it ain’t Clarence
@@N3G4T3 nah , to each their own. People do bodybuilding , pl , yoga , calisthenics etc . Some want to look good, some want to be more flexible etc . Each have their own pros and cons . I lift for time under tension and sometimes lift what i would consider heavy . So i can have strength but also look like i lift . Too many powerlifters don't even look like they lift. Which is something i don't like.
@@AliHamza-sv4ni Well yeah, depends what you're going for, powerbuilding is the ultimate balance for strength and size. I just personally think that powerlifting is the best of them, remaining unassumingly strong is great for giving yourself the upper hand in dangerous situations, and it's funny seeing people's reactions.

And I do the same before doing my 80kg squats.

Very incredible and inspiring. Awesome stuff
This is one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen in my life.
The most amazing thing is that his knees still function.
Ask him on his 40's
Given that he strengthened them since he was 12 I would be surprised if they didn't. If you don't stress/load your joints (the proper way of course) they get weak and you'll end up with injuries, it's not the contrary.
You shouldn't squat all the way down so your butt touches your calves, as he does. But you're right in so far as that we should strenghten our muscles if we are to practice any sport.
And his back
Because his form is excellent. It’s no surprise!
Legend says he is still making novice gains till this day !!
Gigachad right here, awesome video 💯
Smekam klobouk a velky obdiv k tobe 👌👌👌a ty videa zabery to je taky fenomenalni.borec 👍
The greatest hobbyist known to mankind.
this is peak human performance
Like it or not
Imagine a world full of people like clarence
Incredible how his progression happened to rapidly ! Huge jumps within weeks of each other. Pr’s on Pr’s at such an early age. Bloody Brilliant.
WOWWWWW congratulations, thats alot of work, dedication & amazing results
Gifted great work
I don't think clarence genuinely uderstands the severe impact he had on people. This man is literally the reason I squat ATG no matter what.
This tbh. I picked up weightlifting and and resistance training because of this man. He's legit my role model
Me too. I switched from low bar squats to high bar ATG
I watched that triple body weight squat in 2011 and haven’t missed a week since. That and the Pat Mendez 800 squat.
I’m a rugby player so it wasn’t even useful for me to be going atg but I would do it anyway lol
Hell, after the Gyms in my city were allowed to reopen I was already watching so many of Clarence's squats, snatches and clean and jerk videos. He's also the reason why I've stopped skipping leg day. I even resurfaced my old highschool tanktops so I could look like him.
My squats and bench presses are below average for someone of my weight (209lbs/94kg) so this video helps me realize that no one could just squat 250kg first try.
If it means blowing a couple of discs in my lower back then be it, I'm going ATG babby 😂
Didn't realize Clarence grew up in a Fallout looking wasteland
And he put all his points into strength and agility from the start.
Thats just how ireland and suburban america be my guy
Lmao
Thats tralee for ya
