After watching clarence squat for a while i finally realize how his mechanics keep his joints relatively safe. Whenever clarence gets to the bttom of his squat he rocks inward putting the weight right on the middle of his foot. On his concentric he always uses his hips abd glutes to get out of the whole( low bar mechanic) and when the bar is at about parallel he switches back to his knees and let his quads finish the rest of the lift. Many people stick to one style all the way down and all the way up but he has perfected this technique of highbar with a mix of low bar mechanics.
It's odd but obviously effective. I've taken note of this in the past, he has a personalized technique for that kind of depth. Olympic lifting coach Max Aita at Juggernaut Training suggests doing the opposite sequence, that is, to put weight on your toes at the bottom and use your quads to get out of the hole, and then let posterior chain complete the lift. Trial and error, we shall see
The faces people make watching Clarence lift are easily my favorite. His lifts are out of this world and I seriously think he's the best lifter every to exist. No one can lift like him. No one pauses or uses zero equipment with the weight he uses at his age. And I sincerely doubt anyone else will do what he's doing in my lifetime. It just doesn't exist any where else. I will always watch these lifts and admire. But the guy in the red shirt at 11:30 sums up my face watching a clean and jerk at 200 kg. That shit is so funny hahaha
Exist a lot of people like him and actually some of them are lighter and stronger than him, the difference is that Clarence upload videos constantly, anyways he's my hero too
Do you ever do accessory/direct upper back work like rows, pull ups, high pulls, etc.? Or is it mainly the oly lifts and pulls that aid your back development? Love your videos man!
Always wondered Clarence, for your legs do you ever do any unilateral exercises? And do you normally just follow a typical weightlifting program with the 3 exercises apart from when your benching, or do you add body building in.
Hi Clarence, cool post, really like ur channel. Do you feel it is benifecial to train the strict overhead press as accessory for olympic weighlifting and do you use it yourself? Grtz Leon
I love how Clarence bounces into these random gyms where these guys have tight knit communities, u see these guys with the girls probably tryna impress em all the time. Then along comes clarence, minding his own business doing his own thing, making the guys look like shit haha the girls at the end are smiling the lads are just feeling so emasculated.
andy pandy34 Clarence likely doesn't want to be seen as a freak. I remember when I decided to lift at home when my average weights seemed superhuman to the guys with lousy genetics. A 505x2 deadlift at 202 is not superhuman. In my wife's words:. "Why didn't you put that over your head," while in a regular gym I get stares. Really annoying.
He makes it look very light. Clarence maybe someone average should try to lift it off the floor to show just how heavy it is before you throw it around. Because your making something very very hard look very easy. Great job.
Can someone explain to me what the thin strap is that Clarence usually wears below his knee? Is it the same thing as wearing knee wraps or is there a different purpose
Clarence, just out of curiosity, how many strict form pull ups and how many muscle-ups do you think you'd currently be able to do? Also, if you were to squat low bar, how much could that increase your numbers you reckon?
hey weird question; cool if no response. The beginning of the vid, where were you training snatch and cleans?.... Curious cause the gym looks familiar.
No body failed nothing. This is called true failure. Mike Mentzer is saluting Clarence from the Heavy Duty beyond. Mike and Ray Mentzer R.I.P much love brothers.
Do you work on your shoulder strength doing overhead press/lateral raises etc? or does OLY lifting give it enough strength gains where you dont need isolation work for your shoulders?
eatyourmeats No videos exist of grinding reps on any exercise or accessory work. Likely this is unappealing given the explosiveness Clarence has. Whether he will understand the value of doing more reps to build slow strength so his absolutes increase, rather than heavy singles everyday, no idea.
The Pope different way to hit the lats and engages more core as well to be a more well rounded athlete. You have to realize that's what crossfitters are going for. Surely you wouldn't do push ups to get a big chest you'd go to a gym and hit 4-6 chest exercises to apply massive loads of stress to the muscle. But if you're trying to be the best you can be and be fit and athletic crossfit is the way to go
Bullshit, kipping pullups are ego lifting and flirting with injury. You will never see a boxer doing kipping pullups, never see and NFL player doing kipping pullups, never see NBA player doing kipping pullups, never seen an athlete do kipping pullups period. I do see them doing proper pullups all the time, get out of here with that crap. You want a full workout do a full workout.
Hey clarence! I have seen your diet video but i can't seem to find anywere how much protein you consume daily! I have all the other minerals and vitamins on 100% on crono. Just wondering what protein you take in to get to that level.
One difference I see between Clarence and the other guys is that he has a lot more explosion in his moves, as if his muscle fibers could contract faster.
My favorite part of these videos is seeing everyone else mirin'
Amen
period
Feels like a proud father.
haha same. good inspiration.
Clarence0 will have crossfit newbie girls fallin headover heels in every state in the us and canada. : ) just wait for it. I said it first.
Clarence didn't fail a squat.
Squat fails Clarence.
When clarence kennedy was born, he drove his mom home from the hospital.
ahhahahahahahahahaha
FOREVER MIRIN'
mirin bros
Clarence makes everyone at the gym feel like they don't know what intensity is all about.
Clarence is juicing (and fair enough he's open about it) - makes a world of difference.
@@emilstorgaard9642 because juicing makes your training automatically intense 😁
@@hyvaihminen
Your body can handle more intensity when you use PEDs.
clarence parents have a real good marriage
THIS GUY DONT WANNA BATTLE
your references are out of control man, everyone knows that
I thought Voldemort killed them..
He shook
'Cause ain't no
Matiwe Jonah hill outta no where
6:39 best pull ups ever
The less you use your back, the better your form is.
you mirin
LOL!
@@smurf88 gotta train with the worst form to get the best results 🗿
No blabbering voiceovers, no shitty background music, just pure raw weights banging
The ladies looove that squat depth ;)
All jokes aside, I really enjoy these videos Clarence thanx for the time you put into this 👍🏽

thanks for the analysis bro. really appreciate it
Absolute madman.
Clarence fails a squat? Is this real life?
nah the squat failed him not the other way around.
Definitely fake!
+Allan Bilodeau Is this just fantasy?
He just wants to give us a bit of hope.
Editing error.
10:15 Fuckin' hell, even is bail outs are aesthetic as fuck & ninja like!
Came as fast as I could (pun intended)
Capoo que haces por acá jajaja. Como va esa recuperación?;
Locos de donde son? Vi que tienen un video de San Rafael
+steroidsR4losers do you have any evidence of that, or are you just spreading potential falsehoods
Jason Blaha? It has to be...
I like the faces the other people do when they witness this superhuman
Amazing stuff, all those years hard work on display to admire. I hope you enjoy lifting . I enjoy watching 👍
You are my literal idol when it comes to anything revolving strength
Awesome footage man! Very inspiring. Thanks for uploading! ☺👍
This will do til jonnie's next upload
In two years?
Evoo he started uploading again lol
I blame the squat fail on the lack of hi-c after leaving Juji's.
The algorithm just started suggesting all of Clarence's old videos that I've never seen before 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿.
Looking good! Never stop making videos pleaseeeeeeeee
Clarence always give us a wonderful day. Make me still keep faith with human.
clarence, bless me with your gains. i've switched from regular lifting to olympic lifting
Thanks for your great videos clarence

Mike K you realize there are far better lifters than Clarence out there? Olympic level athletes... Clarence is a step below
Unbelievable depth and strength!
Thanks for the video, keep em comin
Nuts lifts. The gym light in the beginning is also nuts, though 😂
Great video
Do you ever do accessory/direct upper back work like rows, pull ups, high pulls, etc.? Or is it mainly the oly lifts and pulls that aid your back development? Love your videos man!
when clarence lifts, its a god dam spectacle..everyone stops and stares in amazement
11 minutes of pure filthy lifting action
Damn, this guy is my hero now :0
I love how everyone at the gym just stops what they're doing to watch you lift. Must be pretty motivating
Origins Gym, yes bro!
love how everyone in the gym is watching him
BEAST.SAVAGE.INSPIRATION.
How do your glasses stay on your face with all that explosiveness?! You fucking rock Clarence!
Always wondered Clarence, for your legs do you ever do any unilateral exercises?
And do you normally just follow a typical weightlifting program with the 3 exercises apart from when your benching, or do you add body building in.
Incredible lifts and form = scrap footage lol. NOTIFICATION CREW CHECKING IN!
Clarence has an audience wherever he goes!! Also look at that like to dislike ratio: 410 likes, 1 dislike!
That 1 dislike was Gravity

Clarence, could you make a video with tips on how to squat? Would be helpful with breaking at the knees, bracing etc. Thx man.
Clarence can you tell us more about your life ? How was your childhood, what did you study, do you have a job, what are your dreams, favorite food ?
Strength wars?? I keep seeing your name mentioned there as to who should compete. So I looked you up. Now I see why!
what the hell are you doing at sport central! used to train there for a while. thought i recognized it
Yo that's dope your putting the gravitus workout that you do in the video on screen really like that keep it up man
I had to replay every heavy set about 5 times each just to convince myself that what i was watching was real, just freakish strength...

He makes it look very light. Clarence maybe someone average should try to lift it off the floor to show just how heavy it is before you throw it around. Because your making something very very hard look very easy. Great job.
you are a beast!
Can someone explain to me what the thin strap is that Clarence usually wears below his knee? Is it the same thing as wearing knee wraps or is there a different purpose
when clarence squats the entire gym stops working out :D i love it hahaha
hove are those nike romaleos compared next to classics adidas adistar '08??
Clarence, just out of curiosity, how many strict form pull ups and how many muscle-ups do you think you'd currently be able to do? Also, if you were to squat low bar, how much could that increase your numbers you reckon?
I'm waiting Clarence to workout with Toshiki Yamamoto one day.
PURE MIRIN' - especially the end bit (11:16) where that guy was teaching those girls. Looks over at Harry Squatter, then shakes his head.
All the mirin
You should do a top 5 or olympic lifters you enjoy watching.
You're a real life strong DBZ character, with each set ready to transform to the final form.. !
hey weird question; cool if no response. The beginning of the vid, where were you training snatch and cleans?....
Curious cause the gym looks familiar.
BEAST!
Amazing explosiveness and technique. Add some commentary next time!
There's some commentary videos on my pateron.
Great!
It would've been great to see those push presses
Wish i could learn oly lifting but ill never step foot in a fucking crossfit gym.. Love ya Clarence
No body failed nothing. This is called true failure. Mike Mentzer is saluting Clarence from the Heavy Duty beyond.
Mike and Ray Mentzer R.I.P much love brothers.
"That was fucking shit." My exact thoughts now about every session I've ever had.
Faceless squat 300x3 no belts but Clarence is geting better
Teach me your ways senpai
It is just me or Clarence snatch stance is different in this video? (feet pointing out slightly more than u)sual
Hey Clarence, how do you increase explosiveness on the squat?
Why the switch to romaleos?
Hey Clarence, would you ever consider a deload?
“That was quite the show” 😂😂😂😂
Clarence do you recommend doing strength training before doing OLY movements, because you need as much energy and speed to perform them?
If strength is a weakness then it is a good idea. Generally, the exercise you do first in a session is the exercise you make the most gains on.
clarence0 Strength is never a weakness
@El Mako weakness is a weakness.
Strength of mere mortals, then yes it is a weakness that obviously doesn't apply to a wizard.
6:39 wonderful pull up technique
Harry Squatter and the squattifer's stance.
Do you work on your shoulder strength doing overhead press/lateral raises etc? or does OLY lifting give it enough strength gains where you dont need isolation work for your shoulders?
eatyourmeats No videos exist of grinding reps on any exercise or accessory work. Likely this is unappealing given the explosiveness Clarence has. Whether he will understand the value of doing more reps to build slow strength so his absolutes increase, rather than heavy singles everyday, no idea.
6:38 ladyboys doing kipping pull ups in the background.
What is the point of kipping pull ups? Is it for cardio?
The Pope different way to hit the lats and engages more core as well to be a more well rounded athlete. You have to realize that's what crossfitters are going for. Surely you wouldn't do push ups to get a big chest you'd go to a gym and hit 4-6 chest exercises to apply massive loads of stress to the muscle.

Juggo fortytwo I see you're new to exercising, all good man gotta start somewhere.
Chadd DaPenguin if by different you mean worse, then yes they are a different way to hit the lats.
what does the wrap around Clarence's knee do
nice vid bruh
Hey clarence! I have seen your diet video but i can't seem to find anywere how much protein you consume daily! I have all the other minerals and vitamins on 100% on crono. Just wondering what protein you take in to get to that level.
140-170g per day
Thanks!
Serious question. I am new to Clarence's content and I am wondering is he on or ever used steroids?
Serious question: Do you think his knees will be fine when he’s old? Is squatting like this good or bad for your knees?
Cleans 200kg while everyone stares in amazement. Clarence's response - "that was fucking shit"
What's the knee band for? Fat pad impingement?
absolute monster.. you know youre doing something right when the shirtless bro at 7:16 stops to watch you lol, literally like everyone else.
Fucking insane.
Shorter shorts pls... so we can see where the bar thrust during a snatch of course
#1 insperation
What does Clarence wear around his knee?
Hey clarence ! What was your injury with that knee ?
Do you have a lot of people coming up to you to shake your hand when you're in the gym?
Do you not find that grinding with higher reps hurts your overall speed?
One difference I see between Clarence and the other guys is that he has a lot more explosion in his moves, as if his muscle fibers could contract faster.
Beast
Love it
