@Keep Rocking! you dont need to "eat meat first" to build strength. you can get the same macros from plants. your body cannot tell the difference between macros from plants or meat its all the same
I like both leg styles, but I see the leg of a bodybuilder as a type of “artificially” made, because they train the separate exercises to develop a certain point of the leg they want to, but for a weightlifter the leg shape is a natural response to the weight they put on and carry, like a correct development of the leg (which isn’t supposed to have the bodybuilder shape naturally).
I feel the same. Many of the fitness channels are so obnoxious these days. There's always ego problems, this annoying know-it-all behavior. None of that with Juji and Tom. These boys just lift, talk and chill. It's pure fit kino
he never even lifted it. He used momentum and then drove mostly with his back.... If he was lifting like someone who should be, his core is engaged, he will have a proper butt wink, and he will pull down with his hamstrings to then drive through the quads, properly... he isn't a power lifter and how no form like one.
@@splxty2897 so if this form is easier/cheating as you seem to imply, why aren't powerlifters using it? A high bar bounced back squat is perfectly legal in a powelifting meet. Hint: It's harder than a powerlifting meet squat. .

I've seen a couple of videos now including Clarence and the chemistry is amazing. Between Tom, Juju and Clarence it just works. It's like this was destined to happen lol
It really depends on the individual. Once I started adding in a lot of high rep leg stuff like step ups, my knees mysteriously stopped getting injured all the time.
@@mikemcniel3086 You can't really compare the two. Larry is a Heavy Armored Warrior with maxed Strength and Max HP but he is much Heavier and more cumbersome than Clarence. Clarence is a Ninja Stealth Class with light armor but with far more agility and athleticism. Choose your poison.
I love the video but tbh I cant wait for train 365 to end and hope you and tom get to take a week or two off! Wish you guys got to rest and heal up some. Cant imagine how exhausted after all these videos
yes it does and when leg day comes around, i hate it and the pump is something i dread bc it just feels weird and uncomfortable. but you need to warm up your muscles before straining them that hard is all im saying. idk im probably just nit-picky or something lol

I was also doing track workouts every day. I was getting stronger & faster, but I looked pretty much the same. I got crap about being small & I still do, but I was running hurdles in collegiate track. I needed the flexibility & range of motion that bulking would limit.

@abc omar squatted 500+ lbs like once or twice. Clarence squatted it 25 times in just one day. That might make a bit of a difference.
