Some worry about aesthetics of the body. Clarence worries about the aesthetic of a lift. Real men goals
El Mako But he is right though. Low bar squats and wide grip benchpress look ugly as fuck and have almot zero range of motion. You could as well just hold the weight and not move it at all. That this shit even gets counted as a rep...
Asura Yup. Same with sumo deadlifts. I can't stand looking at those.
Based af
El Mako sumo deadlifts looks way better imo
sumos are an exception is my opinion
Clarence, please call home. Your Tom and Pop miss you.
Lots of love
I'm worried sick. I've replaced you with creatine and couch and I'm getting too hudge.
hahaha!
Jujimufu How did you get HGH gut at such a young age already JUJU?
Juji, please get him back! clarence0 - Go back! Better yet! Juji go to Ireland!!!!
Jujimufu You both motivate me to be stronger and have a better life style. Following you both has gotten me bigger, stronger and better with my wrestling. Thank you both, keep up the work and kill the workouts.
"my arms got too big" said no one ever except clarence
Klokov "compained" about it too
yes there is some poetry in it
I'm here to be like Clarence .... #deadassserious
:)
Collab, would be legendary
same
You’re a beast Terron
Terron F.Beckham why not like your cousin Odell? Lol
Everybody hates going to the gym when Clarence is there. Why ?, because there's no plates left
🤣🤣🤣
Do I even lift.
sNGF24 He left humanity behind. He dodn't die. RiP
No
@@noradlark167 I can bench 405 for sets of 12-15
@@FunnyFlirtTalks I do not believe you.
lol, 15 years old, squatting 125 kilos. I feel bad..
3'rd year of training (18 years old) he squatted 220 kilos. What the actual..
There's me, 29, only just doing 100kg...4 years of training. What am i even doing?
@@adamg4336 not starting strength, apparently
@@oskarimagga387 Ah yes, Plateau Strength.
@@adamg4336 what are you talking about? Have you read the book? It will double your squat in 3 months EASILY. You just have to do the program, ( e. g. Eat about 4000kcal a day and sleep 8-10hrs). And it's called STARTING strength because it's not meant to be done for years. Just the first few months, until you start plateauing repeatedly.
@@adamg4336 my squat has now gone from 70kgx5 to 110kgx5 in under 7 weeks.
It's odd seeing harry at his first year at hogwarts
Why is 360p Clarence so comforting.
I'd been wanting to get into Olympic lifting since I was a kid and first saw a Chinese weightlifter in the Olympics.
Those guys are monstrous, lean, and aesthetic and also really strong in terms of relative strength.
I'm 21 now and my gym is just finally getting bumper plates, sometimes I get bummed out with how many years of experience I could've had if I started younger.
It'll be fun though!
John Meda 21 is young. I'm 45 and still at it.
Hey I just saw your comment. How’s oly lifting going? Care to give us an update? Genuinely curious
They’re also on a lot of juice
Starting something seriously in 18-21 year range is optimal. lmao.
Quit ya whining on should of started earlier..
@@Kyzik244 Not for oly, gymnastics, swimming, athletics etc..
Wow, Clarence is so strong and aesthetic. He weighs around 220 lbs and he can close grip bench 440+ lbs. Pause squat ass to grass 660q lbs. And beltless deadlift 750+ lbs. And clean and jerk a shit ton of weight and move around freely. I want to see how high Clarence vertical jump is in measurements. I want to see if Clarence can jump higher than Terron beckham
I might make a video where I test my vertical jump, 40 yard dash time, box jump, long jump etc. Since a load of people ask.
clarence0 yes!!! Please do it. We want to see ur all around athleticism. Some people think Terron can outjump u. Terron has a vertical jump of 44.5 inches. I think u can jump higher
There's no way I can even come close to that lol.
clarence0 I think you can
hes vertical would be pretty crazy by now lol, he jumped up to hes head when he was like 16 lol
Clarence, your fans are nuts. Great video 👊🏿
Thanks for the Q&A, reasonably new to the channel, but your fun stuff with Juji really caught my interest
Your a cool dude Clarence. Always look forward to your Q&A's man
found you a month or two ago, really happy i did. the fact u are the most chilled guy, yet lifting incredible weight is just awesome. amidst all the egotistical idiots and narcissism on this website, you are like a shining star
Crazy genetics and amazing technique, I love watching you squat such a perfect form
Clarence is a true example of wat pure hard work is u don’t need da best genetics or the best diet or even a phenomenal program keep putting in the work and u will end up achieving ur goals
"My arms got too big...." lol god dammit clarence
Hey Clarence it is truly inspiring to see that early footage of you lifting along side your present day self. Really shows that whoever you are if you have the determination and will to reach your goals you can do it, hits really hard for me. Thanks for sharing that with us, I really do look up to you when it comes to weightlifting keep it up the good work man. Cant wait to get back in the gym after I recover from my injury.
Wrong lol
Notification from clarence0 = instant happiness
Clarence Kennedy for Strength warsss
Cringewars
no offense but faceless would destroy you even in a strength competition, his PR squat is 320 kg, his deadlift pr is 350 kg and bench press PR is 220 kg. Endurance wise he would murder u
@dragondude30 no offence but you have no idea what you are talking about, clarence pause atg squat raw 300kg highbar, faceless does sumo deadlift and low bar squat paralell, clarence would squat 340-350 that way and clarence could deadlift like 360 without shoes and a belt conventional, the only thing clarence is weaker in is the bench, and clarence could lift prob 210-215 tradition style wide grip bounce bench, so you have no idea what you are talking about.
rubenaunet not right now he can't, if u saw a video with him in jujimufus channel. he was having trouble with 515 for 5 reps. faceless does 550 lbs for 10 reps for a warm up no joke. And faceless's conventional deadlift increased to 340 kg. i believe Clarence is much weaker now than he was before. currently I faceless would win in a strength battle
Strength Wars are for douchebags.
Love the q and a vids, thanks for the great info
TIL: Clarence benches close grip and squats high bar for the aesthetics.
Always great content keep it up.
man, you are the one who introduce me to olympic weightlifting, and never thought that i`ll interested to it, im 16. And i just want to say it that i just tried weightlifting in my local gym, and this is my start point. maybe later i`ll be on olympic, or not, just do it for fun. who knows. So thanks for introducing me to olympic weightlifting clarence, ure the best.
Great information. Thanks Clarence.
Clarence my man you're an absolute legend and an inspiration to us all, and I sure as shit don't need to tell you to keep it up - was wondering, does your left knee still cause you pain during workouts or is it manageable at this point?
Performance warrants aesthetics. You are a great example of this Clarence
appreciate your content clarence, i usually get bored spamming training videos but i never get bored with yours. wanted to know whether you had any sort of pre and/or post workout routines to do when you squat
Im always excited when i see a new QnA from you, you never fail to just answer the questions as straightforward as possible and give excellent advice, thanks clarence, keep up the good videos
Clarence you are the best!
YEEEES Im like number 7k, learning a lot with your content, thank you so much, regards from Spain🤘🏽💚
I quit lifting for gymnastics strength training but I'll always watch clarence0
Thanks for the vid clarence
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing.
Clarence, have you ever thought about the future of your channel? Like different types of videos and more informational videos. I loved you in the Jujimufu videos!! Also im a huge fan, youre my squat insperation!
Yeah of course. I will definitely start making different types of videos (I'll buy a better camera and improve the editing and filming), but I'll always upload the classic training videos.
clarence0 Awesome man! Im looking forward to it.
Yay I am waiting for them to come...
Yeah, I like the classic. Your gym corner (now moved ?), almost no editing, and just adrenaline and lot of kilos. But would appreciate cooking videos, meal preparation etc. You could also post some accessories exercises a lot more and some of your rutines and warm up sets.
Word on the street is clarence is on the juice
technique aesthetics keeps me motivated.
squat, bench, deadlift tutorial pls
there's millions of those already, what would be the point? The ones made by alan thrall are legit, check those out.
there would be a huge point, clarence does all the lifts in a unconventional way , obviously he has perfect form but he lifts in a special way, lets the bench hit hes abs, shift hips and knees alot on the squat etc etc, i salute smoo7hy for making that comment, i think clarence making tutorial on all lifts would be very enjoyable and informative.
Check out Allan Thrall´s videos, or Starting Strength, even if I hate voice of Mark Rippetoe I taught so much from his tutorials, i have watched many tutorials but I think ones from Rippetoe are the best i have seen.
People recommending Alan Thrall and Mark Rippletoe to learn lifts makes my head hurt
@@nomongosinthaworld Hiiipp Dhhhhraaaiiiiveeee
i love your attitude, i also dont like how powerlifting looks like sometimes (short range of motion etc) but i love powerlifting at all!
Clarence you’re fantastic
Your videos motivated me to get stronger
To squat almost 3x bodyweight after 3 years of training if freakish genetics my friend...most people NEVER get a 3x bodyweight squat!!!
99% hard work and consistently. 1% genetics.
@@BennyHendrixx 100% hard work and consistency 100% genetics. You cant deny that clarence is a freak of nature
youre the man clarence
Great video Clarence, I'm looking forward to seeing what you eat. Plant-based for life homie!
Well done!
Thanks for the info Clarence. I'd love to see some more info on your cooking recipes! Also what you do for recovery would be great. P.S I saw you are budgeting for a new camera. If you need any advice regarding what DSLR cameras are great for vlogging don't hesitate to ask!
Love this guy
Great Vid. Really Interesting
I want to see your 40 yard dash and vertical I bet they are damn good
Jacob Espinosa I think his vertical is damn near 30 inch. He's fast too. If u check out jujimoofoo videos, that raced and he beat juji bare in high grass
WEWARD yea I'm sure it's dropped off a bit. But still . 30+ is super impressive even for an athlete honestly
Tom Williams No, 30 isn’t elite at all. Clarence tested his vert on camera it looked over 40”, if anything he only lost 5 inches MAX so he must be 35”+
There's a old video somewhere where clarence does a 40 inch vertical. The title was him squatting somewhere in 200kg range and he was 81kg if I remember correctly.
Tom Williams my vert is 31" so his is definitely 40+
MORE! AMAZING CONTENT!!!
looking forward to this upcoming what i eat video
The young clarence clean ..omg there is hope for me too !
I love that there is no difference between 480p and 1080p
Hehe Clarence got a PZPN blue T-shirt from competitions in Ciechanow, Poland :-). Thumbs up for a Q and A's video. Take care Clarence. Greetings from Poland :-)
I know for some people both squats are an easy movement, you literally sit down and stand back up. But you should do two short tutorial videos for the front and back squat. I feel like alot of people could benefit from it.
Crazy hearing about his squat progress. My squat is around 260 and I have a hard time progressing even though my bw is 205.
How did I not know you had a channel?!? Just saw you on Omar's channel, so awesome you got to expose such a large non vegan audience to veganism 😃 looking forward to more of your videos!
I am 15 and squat 140kg, and I got around 2 months left. I challenge you Clarence!
Clarence is the beast .from Donegal
im 3 weeks into gym training and i switched my noob squats to ATG, surprisingly got more reps and slightly heavier weight, wasnt as hard as i thought.
Them lifts look so clean
Clarence my man 👌🏻
please continue this frequency of posting youtube videos clarence, where can you ask questions for your q&a vids btw?
Front squatting 315 only LOOOKS easy... when Clarence is doing it
answer to question one...ok this guy is definitely insane.
also id like to see a a basic strength training routine the general public could follow using volume training for the main lifts
You ever been in a fight?
(yes I'm asking because you're Irish)
Half Irish
@@baw5xc333 what's the other half?
@Bass Enhanced Metal some type of asian. If I had to guess I’d say Japanese.
@@baw5xc333 I thought you were saying his other half was enhanced metal, which, honestly, I would have believed no questions asked.
@@baw5xc333 half Filipino
1. Deep squat, 2. Heavy squat, 3. Huge quads. Combined, you make a beast in my book. I get so motivated watching your deep, thick, heavy beast of a quad squats. Thank you sir. I'm back in love with squats. How many days can u hit squats a week for optimal strenght gain? Based on your experience
Hey Clarence, can you describe your knee problems and your regimen to get them healthy again?
I have bad patellar tendonopathy-type pain. I'm 27. I haven't lifted for 8 months after working up to a 365 squat. I was really inspired to see your lifts after you had apparently battled bad knees.
I'm a simple man. My goal is to close grip 315 paused.
Current bench?
Same, a lot with a 500lbs high bar squat and 315 power Clean (and jerk)
Hey, Clarence. First of all, I want to congratulate you for everything you're achieving in your life, and you are one of my inspirations lately.
How did you learn about diet and training methods? Please recommend the material you used :)
check out veganhealth.org
clarence0 which book about training would you recommend?
Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide for Athletes & Coaches
Thank you very much, Clarence
Thanks for making a video that is 7:17 long instead of adding filler to get it up to 10:01. I commend you ;)
I know you focus mostly on lifting on this channel but I would love to see more in depth coverage of your vegan diet. Thanks!
Clarence you should do a day in the life video , would be sick af
Hi Clarence, thank you for another q&a! Are you going to make a video explaining why you're not interested in competing in olympic weightlifting anymore?
I do low bar squats more for comfort and current flexibility. Right now I'm doing weightlifting more to fix that.
Clarence how did you develop your mobility for Olympic lifting and do you recommend any certain stretches that helped you overall?
I love how most of Clarences' training decisions come from a point of "it just looks better" 😂
I'd say that he had a very good foundation of power and muscle conditioning due to plyometrics before he began lifting. This is why he progressed so quick because plyonetrics transfers into lifting no doubt.
Señor desearía en un futuro tener sus levantamientos en los básicos y me fascina su forma física ser como usted es mi meta
Hey Clarence! Love your stuff!
Something that I find really interesting is that you weigh about 100kg at about 180cm in height, and still you are very lean with really dense and strong muscle. You are not the biggest guy around, yet you are super strong and pretty heavy. My question would be, how can you weigh that much at your height while not being very bulky?
y'all forgot the most important question: what software do you use to edit your videos, Clarence?
Hey Clarence! Could you talk about recovery after a heavy workout week or cycle (ice bath, running, nutrition or just rest and do nothing) and how you train around an injury. Thanks man, greetings from New Jersey, US.
Well no excuse now that I saw that you were much much lighter (not skinny) before and with dedication you have progressed a lot!!
Would love to see a full breakdown of Squat/Bench/Deadlift techniques and why you should use them/who should use them. It would be so beneficial to someone like me who wants to get fully into Squatting besides the other things, but I struggle to find whats best for me since i'm 6'8" with VERY long femurs and everything to do with these lifts feels generally uncomfortable. Is there any particular chance of you doing this?
2:10 Complex Leisure centre, I remember Clarence doing crazy weights for his age. He was very much different than the others...
Would you ever do a fan meet up?
Clarence if you are reading this then you should definitely compete in strength wars. It's my belief that you would school everyone there. They are very good bunch of guys and the competitions are fun. I am sure you will love. Please atleast do check them out. I'm not affiliated with them, I'm just a fan of both of you.
Do you do other workouts for glutes like Lunges or Hip Thrusts or do you wholly depend on Squats ?
liked the video while i was watching the ad.
oh and i went vegan bc of u
Its crazy when i first started lifting i remember having the goal of squatting 100kg for five reps nice n clean. Holy shit i got there, but man the more people and knowledge you gain i now realise that is nothing ! How the hell some guys are pushing 180kg plus is madness. And im a preety good size !
I would love to hear what programming you would recommend for different stages of training
Teach us how to squat like you Clarence!!!
I know you went into it briefly in one of these videos, but I would really like to know a bit more about your assistance work. Did you really get to these huge lift numbers while only doing hyperextensions and rear delt flyes?
When you were at your biggest/heaviest, how did you training routine change? Did you focus mostly on powerlifting or weightlifting, or did you just include more accessories to your usual workouts?
Clarence, do you feel that your lifts in general have improved after implementing Jason Blaha's general breathing technique?
Do you have a structure or program when it comes to your training? Like, do you just lift whatever weight you feel like each day and for however many reps you want to or do you have it pre-planned out with set lifts for each day based on percentages that covers a set amount of weeks?
Keep uploading videos!
i love you Clarence.
