I agree but everyone does deadlift squat and bench. They are the most fundemental excercises therefore they know how hard deadlifting 300kg is,however they dont know that snatching 190 is way harder since they cant relate

@mac5917 that's problem with the world...everyone does what's popular...nobody is unique or is into anything that's not popular even if it's far better.
@@jjj-qj8lu i find it to be the opposite. most normies i talk to see something like a 100kg snatch as some olympian god-like feat, even though it is a novice lift. that is because most of them can't even get into the necessary positions unloaded, let alone with their bench or squat work weight. they also don't understand how we use momentum to our advantage. most normies look at a clean and think "whoa, he picked the weight off the floor, then pulled it to his collarbone with his arms, then decided to do a squat with it, and then overhead press it in a funny stance!". they don't understand that these are all lower body driven movements, and that we aren't "muscling" the weight at all
I think people like powerlifting more because it’s easier to do, and anyone can try it. Whereas weight lifting seems more niche, and it feels like you’re gonna crush your skull by throwing the weights above your head… and is just something people are not generally interested in doing, unless you got into that type of stuff
His 500 lb cleans & clean & jerks are pretty incredible to me, tbh. Those have always been the most impressive. I can see why people would focus more on the deads & squats -> there’s just more overall weight and to the average person… they see the number and are like, “wow, really big number.”
@@willliv7990 they are about as different as two strength sports can be. it's easier to teach a thrower to weightlift than a powerlifter because weightlifting places a huge emphasis on rate of force development and speed, not maximal static strength.
@@mazza653 how can you say that with any degree of certainty? snatching 190, even in training, is a big deal and almost every lifter who has done it is internationally competitive and/or famous in weightlifting circles.
@@bigguy4u989 only 100 odd people in the entire history of sprinting have run 10 seconds or less in the 100m I don’t know the numbers on snatching 190 but I’m sure it’s more then 100
I think that makes his squats and deadlifts more impressive tbh because they're not main lifts for him, just accessories that he purposefully makes more difficult for himself (weightlifting shoes on deadlifts, ass to grass high bar squats)
Agreed, they’re both impressive. If you look at his technique for deads and squats, though, they’re more in alignment with an Olympic weightlifter than a power lifter. Everything he does, even the squats and deadlifts, are done to feed his main Olympic lifts (clean and jerks and snatches). I.e. the high bar and deep position for the squat, and the more upright double overhand deadlift (as if getting ready for a clean). It’s Al geared towards that goal, so he’s not putting 100% focus into being a powerlifter and you can tell. You can tell he’s a weightlifter.
I don't do weightlifting but it does seem technical and I'd like to try it sometime. The weightlifting seems way harder and more impressive. As a powerlifter I prefer watching him weightlifting
Weightlifting is just ass. The mobility requirements for good weightlifting are already so big compared to how pretty much anyone can do powerlifts. And you're right, it's so intense how much technique you have to practice to get anything up in weightlifting even if your powerlifts were great. Like you can power through them with strength over skill, but there's surely a curve to how much you can get by with. Also can you imagine a coach telling someone who starts powerlifting to do it for months with just a wooden stick or bare barbell before they allow you to put any plates on? But it is fun, the speed and everything.
@@Yupppi Weightlifting is the most impressive display of explosive athleticism with a weighted implement that you can do, so it's incredible to watch. It's very difficult though so you're right that it's not easy to get into
Snatch, Clean ans CJ are actual "power" lifts as you need to use maximum strength X speed and that equals power. So weird that powerlifting is not actually what it's named. Maximum Bench, Squat and Deadlifts need power too, but it's not as visible as in weightlifting where power is used to catapult the weight freely through the air.
Yep. I Deadlift shit almost everyday at work and learning proper form with deadlift training has saved my back like nothing else. I literally cant imagine a single moment in my everyday life where a good snatch or clean and jerk will be of a single fucking use to me.
Olympic lifts are still a part in workouts for runners, high jumpers, basketball players, football players, rugby players, combat athletes etc. So basically all sports where you need a great power output for performance. Plus deadlift variations like a clean pull or snatch pull as well as squats are the foundation in weightlifting. A lot of them squat 3x per week.
@@JTK_XXL if you read Starting Strength books, the only purpose of Olympic lifts are to track power as strength increases. Olympic lifts don't "create" explosiveness, genetics do.
I am not sure "power lifting is more universal" is really the point here. Power lifting is much more accessible because it is less technical than olympic lifting. On the other hand, Clarence is enhanced and doesn't compete in weightlifting (which, as far as I know, only has tested competitions. Not saying that no Olympic weightlifters are on gear, secretly, of course). So, the statement "I am a weightlifter" is to be taken with a grain of salt.
