That Japanese coach is very knowledgeable and easy to understand even with the language barrier. That’s the best thing about sports, they transcend national borders.
The work ethic and the respect everyone shows for each other in these videos is something special. This is such an inspiring trip with a great bunch of guys.
Not commenting often but this memory misc stuff you showed at the start was a bit touching, we often draw the line between us and the content creators but those things make you feel like a genuine nice guy that i want to follow. I hope you are having the time of your life with this trip and creating memories that your future self will be proud of. Thanks for the videos as always.
I really appreciate seeing you talk about other things than just lifting during this trip and showing more. Really cool and also really funny to imagine kids coming up to Clarence to touch his body XD
This content across your 3 channels is so much fun. Feels like an Abroad in Japan / Weightlifting crossover. Just a couple guys hanging out, traveling and having a blast.
@@Goberserk999 first thing i noticed was the admiration even when it wasn't all that heavy which makes me think that they see something that my untrained eye doesnn't (not a weightlifter)
All of this content you guys are pumping out is an absolute blessing, man. The Toshiki stuff is unreal, the QNAs on Sikas channel are fantastic but mostly just the general Vlog type material is my favourite. I feel like we're really getting to know you guys better through this as it's almost like we're coming along for the ride. Lastly, a huge shout out to the translator. What a legend!
@@neilmcmahon even if he could, there's a likely chance that they just wouldn't have his size available especially since he's much bigger than the average Japanese person. If he's got some pretty big feet, let's say US size 13 and up, he's basically screwed because most places in Japan wouldn't have that size besides some specialty places that specifically carry large sizes.
Dynamic, next level content. Getting into weightlifting gyms around the world while consistently delivering different perspectives on form/techniques- all the while including personal lifting journeys from different people along the way... Cheers Zack. Thank you🙌
Just thank you Zac from Italy. Following you from the start, u improve your editing and video making a lot, and your contents are always fenomenal. Keep it going man 💪🏼
Very cool video! Glad to see you over here. Thanks to this video, I could find out about the gym Tsurumi. Also, they went to Enoshima, which technically isn't an island. The beach is in the Shonan area and it's far from beautiful. I'm sure Toshiki would admit it. But, it's the most popular beach for Tokyoites. This is off season. A month later, you won't be able to see the sand or the water 20 meters out because of all the people and trash, with Japanese reggae pumping all around. It's a unique experience. Thanks for this content. Loved it!
Womb was the first club I ever went to in Tokyo and I had no idea what I was walking my friends and I into😂 we walked in at around 11 and when we walked back out the sun was up😂glad you enjoyed!
Zach! The Gorilla Mind ad you have @ 0:32 completely screwed up the audio/video sync. There's no audio to the ad, so the audio from your video overlaps the ad
Ah, thought I recognized the Enoshima bridge the Miura peninsula from beginning. Beautiful island which has seasonal displays at the top garden where the viewing tower is located. Not sure if the video covers it, but gyms in Japan are resistant to customers with tattoos and tend to forbid recording in regular gyms. Outside of Tokyo it'll be much more difficult to find Olympic or powerlifting focused gym with appropriate equipment. They exist though.
Sound is allll kinds of fucked up and out of sync for me, like there were two or three audio tracks set to hidden and no one did a preview listen of the edit. The audio for the video clip at 9:55 starts at 9:14, so maybe the whole thing is just off by 40 seconds
I'm surprised the little kids were so interested. Maybe Toshiki and Clarence were like superheroes in civil for them, looking super jacked and fit on the beach. - How was your trip to Japan? The food culture must have been awesome, what did you eat? - It was great, I ate burger! - So what are you gonna eat now back in US? - Probably go for a sushi or ramen. Honestly though, I think another culture's burger/fast food special meals tell you a lot about the country's food culture. This weightlifting class in Japan feels kinda like you're never too good to expose yourself to different teachers at various levels and different places. You can always learn new things and get new perspectives, seems like in weightlifting every nation has their own focus points in the lift. It's fascinating that Toshiki had the same tip to Eoin in squat, keeping the wide chest. And I can tell why weightlifting educators warn about using straps. Without experience that lost snatch could've done things.
It's wild how they can do so many high intensity weightlifting sets while jetlagged and still manage to find the energy to edit videos and go sightseeing.
Idk about anybody else but I can respect anyone who's willing to put on Alan Walker for any occasion. At the 12:14 mark you can hear what I believe to be 'Force' by Alan Walker
Idk if you guys are still in Japan, but maybe y'all could check out the Kodokan? You and the sika lads could get some jitsu going, Clarence doing judo would be interesting too. Also good vid👍, it's cool to see various training styles/methodologies that are used by different countries.
Bruh lol... when they lifted, none of the Japanese want to watch Eoin. Put some respect on that mans name!! :-) Great video ZT. You continue to bless us with awesome content.
Can you do some in depth stuff on the Japanese programming? I've always been so curious to see what it's like since as far as I know they're one of the only countries that never imported Soviet or Bulgarian coaches.
Translator deserves an award. Did such a great job of translating all this technical stuff in great detail.
japanese are high iq ppl due not mixing much and developing their own culture. They are the germans of Asia.
Seeing Toshiki and Clarence in the same room was probably comparable to seeing Godzilla and King Kong in the same room
Because Toshiki is Asian and Clarence is Irish?
@@Artix902 No it’s cuz they are fucking massive
@@Artix902when did a monkey become Irish?
@@Artix902ah sure jaysus didnt you know king kong(Rían Ó Connatháidh) was born in county wicklow. Sure i knew his brother and his mother when we went to the same secondary school sure she was quare fit when she was doon her leaving cert back in 1976 now
Who is king kong
It's really interesting how chest posture was one of the first things both Toshiki and the WL coach here noticed in how the boys lift
This is top tier content.
💯💯
As a gym owner, I really appreciate how respectful you all are of the equipment. All that Uesaka bling in one room.....
IMO don't be shy about the travel vlog stuff - it's very interesting to see Japan and I'd definitely watch an even longer video to accommodate it
I agree, it gives the series a much more special touch. Really sets the content apart.

This trip must be so surreal to be on. It’s probably not even fully sinking in for you all, right now!
The content in the past 6 months feels like it's hit a new level
You're killing it Zack!

Yeah, i never really thought about lifting when i was on holidays, but this certainly got me motivated to look for WL gyms during my next trip abroad.
Zack living double life, one as a weightlifting prodigy the other as Doug Demuro
he just has to mention that he is 6'3 every 5 minutes and its perfect
The translator is invaluable. Props to him.
How good is Clarence! He never disappoints.!
all are so strong!
@@Goberserk999 first thing i noticed was the admiration even when it wasn't all that heavy which makes me think that they see something that my untrained eye doesnn't (not a weightlifter)
Is the audio horribly out of sync in this video or am I going crazy?
I was wondering the same thing. It's not just you.
Yes it is
Yeah, its the same for me.
I rigged it by playing audio on one tab from 1:23 mark, and the video on a 2nd tab from around 2:03 mark
sadly on mobile so i cant do that 😢 unless i go on safari or google app

Seeing Clarence back in action makes me happy, nice trip zack. Preciate the content!
The overhead squat was great!
i simply can not believe tha fact that clarance actually DID NOT BRING HIS WEIGHTLIFTING SHOES!!!
could he not pick up a pair over there
was thinking the same thing. crazy
travelling minimalist with one bag is the way

i love the fact zt couldn't catch it on the first set, but then went on to catch it thrice. this is why i love him
I love learning how different countries approach weightlifting. Gives more tools in the toolbox for teaching it.
I need to savour these videos more but I can't help but watch them as soon as they release
Just thank you Zac from Italy.
Following you from the start, u improve your editing and video making a lot, and your contents are always fenomenal.
Keep it going man 💪🏼
Loving the vids and how you make sure to ask questions and be involved in the weightlifting class. Very insightful stuff
The organization of the equipment and cleanliness of the platforms are mint
This is such a great video. Opportunity for us to participate in the events with you. Thank you!
Love how humble coach, zack and Clarence are
Hell yeah. This is engaging and interesting content and its seems like you guys are enjoying the trip. Love to see it.
loving this series
I love how they have a NCS playlist playing at the gym. Nothing like lifting weights while feeling like you're in a Minecraft Skywars video.
Please fix the audio, i love these japn episodes
all the guys at that gym are super strong , it must be fun to train with them
It’s the collaboration we all needed and wanted. Hopefully this isn’t the last one
Awesome stuff, thanks Zack!
This is the kind of videos of yours that i like the most... just commenting over training, it's just good
It’s crazy that you found the lady of “lady and gentlemen” in Japan

i love this content so much im so blessed
Thank you for the interesting videos. Really appreciate it
Such a cool vid, thanks for sharing man!
Great videos from your trip, really enjoying them 😊👍
5:08, clarence entering like a boss without even caring about the explanation because he is the creator of weightlifting.
8:35 To the guy staring at Clarence, yes, this is how we all feel when we watch him doing his thing
This series is so amazing on all of the channels XD
Loving this!!
hahaha i have been to Womb multiple times. it is awesome
Zach! The Gorilla Mind ad you have @ 0:32 completely screwed up the audio/video sync. There's no audio to the ad, so the audio from your video overlaps the ad
so cool! Thanks for the vid 🎉
Zack just casually mogging everyone in the gym with his giraffe stature
It's not too late yet to fix the audio and reupload my guy. Video got a lot of potential so please do it ASAP.
There are few things in this world more powerful than Clarence in the bottom of the hole.
love the random clips
More womb content, that place looks siiick! Also underrated are the train sounds at the gym. Excellent pump music.

also feel free to include more of the non-lifting vlog stuff too in the beginning, even if it makes the video longer.
Womb is known to play crazy techno. One of my favorite artists (Pleasurekraft) talked wonders about that place in an interview
the intro alone is olympic gold.
Shoutout to the translator friend of toshiki, he is amazing

6:51 Fitzy giving us the moneyshot 😏
Skrillex playing in the background is great
Eyyyyy Daire is in the intro!!
This anime season is great. Would love to see more
Very cool
Quality content
4:48 zack being attentive while the japanese senpai speaks
7:57, Clarence teaching the teacher

the wisdom or different perspectives of japanese ppl is always astonishing
All these videos are edited in the office in the hotel room, together with three other dudes. Absolute grind

zacks channel has a theme! don't know what it is but it's kinda different very intertaining
Can’t wait to go back go Japan. It’s so different from any where else I’ve ever travelled. Cant explain almost haha
dream collab
9:35 Gabriel would approve 💥
Can you shout out the translator? If he has a social media presence. Seems like an awesome guy
it's actually boss as fuck that you can hear the trains overhead in that gym 15:17
I love how theyre casually training with a bullet train immediately near by 😅
clarence on speed demon mode with the block snatches
lovely
whats up with the audio like totally outta sync 😢 but since no1 commenting I guess my yt is broken
How much does it cost to fly a fridge overseas?
Idk if you guys are still in Japan, but maybe y'all could check out the Kodokan? You and the sika lads could get some jitsu going, Clarence doing judo would be interesting too. Also good vid👍, it's cool to see various training styles/methodologies that are used by different countries.

it's so nice to see how down to earth the Japanese trainer is despite his background.
Wish the trip recap section was a full 20 minute video😔
This whole Japan trip is pure gas
The tracking for the sound is way off as soon as the gorilla mind clips start playing
Could you imagine being a coach and Clarence comes in and now you have to coach Clarence😅
I'll never get over how fking fast Clarence is during all his lifts
clarence's bar speed is unreal
goat
Audio is messed up for me
