My friend sent me this video, thanks for the shoutout, I'm glad you like the videos! I bet I could learn a lot from you on how to level up my power and mobility stats :)
Haha thanks man! Keep up the good work
Clarence has been playing the same character he has an almost unfair amount of stat points! Such power and mobility
A little late on the reply. You’ve got catching up to do Tierzoo. Love both of your content.
Didn't think I'd see TierZoo on a Clarence video
Not the Crossover we deserve, but the one we need!
I was a vegan for 6 hours and it didn't work for me...
Zack Telander well, giraffes are vegan so......
Zack Telander were they while sleeping? Those are the toughest hours to get through ;)

See my reply up top about the mindset of vegans and how they always fail.
"Their intelligence is definitely below average" haha, i burst
Coming from a guy that takes roids to lift as a hobby sounds kind of ironic, wouldn't you say?
I mean just because he haphazardly used the word "hobby" to describe his relationship with weightlifting it should be pretty obvious it's not just a hobby to him.
@@nurmikoil1103 doing what's needed to be better at what you do for fun is ironic?
@@nurmikoil1103 No.

Clarence is my favorite natty vegan bodybuilding crossfiter
He's also a great basket weaver
he is not natty
@@h0652507 Take it back
@@h0652507 how dare you
h0652507 LOL you missed the sarcasm
clarence be the only dude in powerlifting meet to do atg pause squats
onnoori lee and without sleeves and a belt
onnoori lee lol yea he did like a non official one back when he visited juijui
I would find it interesting watching him squat to parallel only since his technique relies so much on the bounce out of the hole.
Daniel Prest he squated 306kg atg paused which takes the bounce out of it. Mad impressive
if he switches to powerlifting then he'll probably switch to low-bar as well,since he said it suits him more.So,no atg.
super curious on your thoughts about anti-doping. pleaee make that video soon
He knows it's impossible to compete natural.
@@rolandcox5162 most people i know who do weightlifting are in favour of allowing doping, with certain criteria.
my coach says it would be nice if pros could get a "pro card" that basically allowes them to take certain anabolics, prescribed, regulated and from a pharmacy.
because they all do them and need them to recover from all the extremes they do ,even him. weve all seen his back and shoulder irritation.
Athletes with a professional and well connected team backing them can usually get away with doping, while those who are more or less on their own (like him) cannot.
Peidi Wu Yes!!
Thank you for this calm and rational approach to the question of ex vegan TH-cam personalities. I hope you will do more diet-related content in the future and some more collaborations on TH-cam
I tried going vegan for a whole day and it was surprisingly easy, probably because I was also fasting that day.
I'm fully vegan. I'm not strict about it, I include some chicken and fish..and beef just to round things out, but other than that, it's great.
@@socksoppressmytoes476 Being vegan means you adhere to the ethical view that one should as much as reasonable and practically possible obstain from buying and doing things which cause the suffering and death of animals. It is not synonomous to simply eating a plant based diet.
That day you FASTED is the day your body feeds on ITSELF so by default it's a carnivore day...so good job
@@benediktk.8228 Dude, read the room.
@YoStefan it's not a joke at all. Literally talked to someone at a funeral a week ago about this exactly. They said they were vegan and said exactly that.
Love Clarence and his videos. 1.25 or 1.5 playback speed just makes it slightly better. Thanks Clarence. You're thoughtful commentary is awesome.
Always love these videos , smashing it Clarence !
Love you Clarence. Hope you're feeling happy, healthy, and strong!
App looks awesome. Great you're still able to monetize weightlifting and essentially be a "pro" without having to participate in the super corrupt selectively enforced doping control competitions.
Bro straight up you're a huge reason I had the confidence to go vegan, you're are a legend and I completely agree with you on these ex-vegans.
That's sad that you joined the Vegan cult because you idolize Clarence. That's one of the reasons it's dangerous for people with some reach to promote Veganism; it encourages easily influenced people to join the Vegan cult and harm themselves.
@@folksurvival Man thats pretty negative jesus
@@folksurvival He has joined the cult of eating more vegetables.
@@folksurvival Not supporting the animal holocaust=cult.
Check mate soyboys 😲🤒
@Gore4ever FulciLives negatory ship mate
Much support and love. Intelligent answers. Well done.
Nice Katatonia shoutout... I remember hearing a track being played during one of your training videos and was super pleasantly surprised. I never hear anyone else really talk about them.
I really like most Katatonia in general, but in particular, Brave Murder Day is just one of the best albums ever.
My inspiration for lifting as a vegan for 7 years, keep it up man
Just took 3 months off lifting to nurse a hip injury. Come back and play on the videos. You are a cool guy. Loving the stroll on the bike.
Being vegan didnt work. All I had were kale shakes and kale colon cleanses. Dunno what went wrong.
But.. but...... kale is all you need 🥺
Steak is the way to go
@@romandashkevich9780 Mmm love steak
@@BOWShortClips Vegans copium in this video was strong.
If you have to make 36 aside because you don't eat meat, it is unhealthy.
Seeing Clarence doing lowbar is pretty cursed
suspicious
I just started. Its pretty fun. They say its as cool as pulling sumo :)
It’s got that crab aesthetic

Clarence, I appreciate your feedback on these Q&A. Glad to see you’re helping a lot of folks out there. With that said, you seem to be satisfied with remaining in this gray zone of elite lifting where you have a solid base of social media followers, but you’re not willing to go all the way in the sport you love so dearly. Maybe I’m just spoiled with seeing all these top level Olympic lifters on TH-cam. What are your goals for growing your passion of lifting? Where are you heading? You seem a bit undecided. Just curious. Thanks for all your efforts. Best of luck! Cheers from across the pond.
I might make a video about that in the future. Honestly, I've lost a lot of motivation for weightlifting after doing a lot of thinking about how corrupt it is.
Thanks for your answers!
Finally some q&a!
God damn, didn't expect that real of an answer when discussing veganism. Thanks dude, you're seriously an inspiration. I'm still a long way from where I want to be but if anyone tells me to point to a vegan who's made gains, your channel is PERFECT
Skip Shameless Nimai Delgado is a great example too, he has never eaten meat in his entire life.
I don't think calling ex-vegans dumb based on some youtubers looking for attention is real or an inspiration. His response on it was really rather poor. Vegan is an extreme diet in the same way as extreme meat consumption. The problem with vegans is that a lot are very young, and you can nearly eat whatever you want when you're a teenager all the way until 30-35 or so, past that things change and Clarence is super young to be claiming these things. I bet his opinion on the vegan diet will change with time.
@@Lolp821 I wasn't giving credit to anyone calling ex vegans "dumb." Furthermore I can see where you're trying to draw similarities but your argument falls apart because there are a number of known and well documented groups from Africa to even Japan who if they weren't vegan, ate 80-90% of their calories coming from carbs (and had the longest life expectancy and lowest cases of diabetes, CVD, etc.). I think it is very important though to get perspective on successful and unsuccesful vegans (again I'm not pointing blame or ridiculing) because it's good to study things most accurately. But this narrative that veganism is a new phenomenon isn't true. The facts are humans thankfully are quite capable to adapting to a range of diets, which very much includes veganism, and people can get every bit of nutrition they need from a vegan diet. Whether someone then chooses not to be vegan for a variety of reasons is totally on them (again I'm not here to ridicule anyone). I'm just not a fan of hardcore keto or carnivore people trying to lie about the health standards of largely whole food plant based diets. Cheers
@@dripshameless5605 Let me know how strong you get as a vegan without supplements n steroids vs someone who simply has to eat meat for their protein.
@@HAL-dm1eh Let me know how many gallons of kool aid you drink a day :)
Tier zoo is one of the best ideas for a channel in a while imo
You are one of the naturally coolest guys in TH-cam fitness. Just honest answers, no fake persona ✊✌️
I thought I was going to wreck when you put those questions in front of my view on the bridge! ;)
When ever I see this guys strength and mobility/agility it screams professional wrestler potential.
Thanks a lot for the inspiration Clarence, I became vegan after watching your videos about 2 years ago (first went vegetarian for 1 year, then vegan). I knew earlier that this was the best diet for the environment, but I didnt know you could be healthy and strong. Seeing you do crazy weights pr"s proved to me that my reservations for fitness/health reasons were nonsense.
easy with 750mg test/ew
@@friedfromdenmark3248 they are blind my friend
Thanks! Super interesting to listen to your thoughts and opinions
I am more impressed by Clarence than any other content creator on the internet.
Been watching you for year and never knew you were vegan, you awesome. Bro.
hahahaha so subtle and on point "their intelligence is definitely below average" (3:25) LMAO
curveball lol
That was satisfying.
LOL
He's dead right. Pure fruititarian vegans and pure carnivores are moronic and can't seem to deal with the fact that they're omnivores biologically; they're not fuckin' cows or cats lol
@@VjeranCrnjak That gut right there is Tim Shief. Same person at 3:46. He used to be really muscular in shape and now looks like a starving bum. Vegan diet is fine but that raw drinking your own piss stuff is not cool. Makes us look retarded.
thanks for the Q&A video

Lu xiao broke his own record at 34 meng. Lasha still making gains into his 30s. CMON BOI!!!
those guys make a living in Oly weightlifting, and takes more time to improve your lifts.
lasha is only 25 y o
@@iJorgePaz calrence probs earns more with his youtube subs.
Lasha is in his mid 20s. Do your research before looking like a fucking idiot next time
@@poopie6205 fuck no he doesnt
Lasha is 27 now, was 26 when you commented. Lu is an exception. Most elite weightlifters peak before 30. Oly lifting requires explosive power, which is lost earlier than brute force. That's why powerlifters in their thirties (and even forties) are common while oly lifters are not.
Loved your thoughts on veganism...a lot of people don’t understand that any diet that’s poorly planned and researched will lead to nutrient deficiencies. The vegan diet can definitely be great for optimizing performance and health!
Who was the Dumb Broad that he out on blast ?
And here I am trying to go faster . Great point with the hips bro
Respect from limerick
Clarence, love your content. Please take a look at some of the research on dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids, perhaps a good starting point would be Ray Peat's articles. Some really interesting content definitely worth exploring
Mad respect to you Clarence!
You seem very down to earth and intelligent.
Props for speaking for veganism too.
I have been vegan for ten years now. I have maintained the same size since my 20’s. I weight lift and my gains show fast being vegan. Ive been eating more protein and carbs to up my size.
Those future videos look really good
That suck about the antidoping thing I would love to see you compete. I was always curious about that cause it looks like you’re even stronger than your old competing videos. Hope we get to see you again !
The GOAT should not compete, he needs to give others a chance at victory
How can you not love this dude
You're the man, loving the content
Clarence rides, He just keeps getting cooler years after
Clarence do you stream on overwatch???
3:29 finally someone said it
Definently excited about you talking about the antidoping system in the next video.
Lots of people that compete are on something though
Is he claiming natural now?
@@MrOj59 nah, just anti-doping is more politics than actually trying to prevent usage.
@@cyphercoll oh I see, i agree. Just look at boxing, AJ never gets popped but his opponents get heavily tested. Good way to keep cash train going
I agree 100% on the comment about weightlifting within CrossFit - its a skill and needs to be developed. I've been CrossFit training for ~2 months and while I am making gains, I've been seeking a weightlifting academy to supplement the *skill* development portion of weightlifting.
Happy to find out your vegan. It's really not that difficult to eat normally, common sense seem difficult for some people!
Someone finally having the balls to say the truth about WADA and anti doping. It would be pretty amazing if you made those videos
@CALEB EPPLEY lmao USA is one of the most drugged up countries. I can say that ALL lifters at usa nationals was on streroids and/or hgh
@@Marmar90m and who are you exactly
@@peeps211 I am American competed in wrestling. Everybody was drugged on trt or some other shit. Wake up kid
@CALEB EPPLEY Yeah like world champs after passing thousands of tests popping after end of their careers . keep dreaming kid . clearly show you never competed
@CALEB EPPLEY cry me more kid. I know you never competed since you are so naive. Keep dreaming about clean and fair sport
Thanks for info on block training I plan to incorporate this in general, seems like it'd be good for longevity in lifting
I just joined up on your videos and I must say you're really inspiring me to go beyond with my workout programs..clearly I need the olympic lifts cause from seeing how powerful you are,it'd benefit me alot as well if I were to incorporate them into my routine
Keep up the good work and honestly,you'd fit in well in the ireland rugby team,a powerlifter like you could be a massive boost to their squad
Hopefully I can catch up to being half as powerful as you are in the next six years
Not a vegan, but if done properly with a b12 supplement, there should not be issues.
Yeah, but we've got people refusing to take anti-biotics when ordered to take it by multiple doctors and drinking their own pee because they think it recycles amino acids, and staring at the sun and water fasting because they think it heals their organs.
But you're right, eat enough, take a B12 supplement, and odds are you'll do just fine
Yeah man. Stupid people suck lol.
you don't really need B12, just use fortified milk and you will be fine.
@@chriskoscien559 nah, that's not enough.
Eh, B12 is an extremely cheap supplement, why risk it?
Really intrested on the antidoping videos
I’m new to Spotify. I downloaded the app for iOS... how do I find your playlist?
FUCK YEAH I LOVE TIER ZOO! You're awesome bro. Made me feel cool hahah
I love you Clarence. Overwatch and veggies for the win!!! Do you stream on twitch?
You know Clarence is talking when you have to put ten volume at max
Clarence would you be OK with separate federations for "open" and tested, like in powerlifting with the IPF and then everything else?
hey Clarence how adidas adistars compare to romaleos?? also did you have to change your normal shoe size to fit in adistars I've heard they are tough to fit without trying them on first
the room has new paint
I love you Clarence, I'm a female vegan powerlifter and you're my motivation
I’m glad to see you’re thriving on a vegan diet. I did it for 3 years and wish I still could. My issue wasn’t with the diet itself. It’s more to do with my own digestive system. It can’t deal with FODMAPS (fruit sugars that exist in a lot of legumes as well as onions and garlic). I was bloated all day every day. I also wasn’t able to make use of the nutrition that these foods normally provide. I was tired and pale. I still believe that plant based foods do have the necessary nutrients... my body just can’t access them for some reason
I have IBS/SIBO and as you know, the only animal product that is on the FODMAP list is lactose. It really leaves you no choice but to eat meat. Did you develop the issue while vegan or did it start before that?
I probably always had the issue but it became much more pronounced while eating vegan
The human body isn't designed for a 100% plant diet. We are predators and hunters. We eat meat. Always have. We don't have multi-chamber stomachs and we cannot digest cellulose, the material that makes up the cell walls of plants. These are all clues. Shitting is the act of your body jettisoning non-nutritive material it cannot use. Eat tons of veggies and you'll shit 5x a day. Eat nothing but energy-dense steak and eggs for a couple days, and you'll *maybe* shit once a day. Almost as if your body was optimized for it (whoa, I know, controversial!)
Love you!!
What a nice guy 🙂
"Persona 5." Didn't expect that lol.
Didn't see it commiiiiiiiing
You are legendary mate!!!!!!
thanks for share!
Hi Clarence
I didn't now he rode motorcycles. Hell Yeah!
@@MithrandirRS got to!
I'm sure it's somewhere in your channel, but not sure where to find it. What part of Ireland are you in?
I had knee and back injuries from weightlifting and soccer and had knee surgery a few years ago. I have never been the same. Caused issues with my other knee. I quit weightlifting and soccer. But.... You will think I am crazy.... I did Focus T25 from Beachbody with my wife and it freaking cured my knee pain. Then I went to the gym with a powerlifter friend and without training and only doing T25 I freaking PRed my deadlift. I continue to do t25 to keep my knees together. I plan to start strength training again too. I was diagnosed with a torn meniscus and this DVD program made my pain go away. I am not a beach body coach I only brought this up because Clarence said he has knee and back issues.
Lol dude aint it obvious that you just discovered what modern pain specialists call an „conservative management“ and its not that fucking beachbody DVDs are magical lol
You just rested an injury, let it heal, got tired of being in pain and inactive and worked your way up again from very light exercise to more ...
3:20 - 3:33 I laughed so hard at how calmly you just commented that XD
Is that the vegan girl who got caught eating meat. lmao
Clarence talking about retiring but Lu Xiaojun is 35 and still killing it
Hi Clarence. Your videos are inspiring. I especially like the tricking videos but the Squats are great. On being Vegan, do you think you feel as good now being Vegan as you did when you started?
About this antidoping, do u use any peptides or sarms? We know that Lovchev banned about peptide called Ipamorelin. And i use at the moment modern version of this Ipamorelin peptide, Sarms called MK-677 Nutroball.
Clarence taking a break from fame to go back to his roots in HD!
That ex-vegan roasting came out of nowhere. Felt like the straw that broke the camel's back^^. I appreciate your videos about nutrition a lot btw, your recommendation of Cronometer had a huge impact on how I eat nowadays. Cheers
do you have any problems with joints from lacking collagen in your vegan diet? or is there another source for it
0:33 so you can be good in oly lifting with less ideal body proportions (long legs short torso), you give me hope clarence
Oh sweet, he plays Overwatch. Great video!
Nice. I was really hoping you'd answer that carnivore question lol.
Way to lay the smack down on the ex "vegans".
When people say carnivore diet, do they mean some people eat only meat, nothing else? No vegetables whatsoever? Lol
@@NeroVuk yes, and sometimes those people only eat raw meat as well
@@jesusr4275 that's crazy :D for a moment there I thought Clarence was saying that an omnivorous diets are inherently unhealthy, because I honestly never heard of entirely carnivorous diets... except for the inuits and all that jazz
@@NeroVuk people that usually eat raw flesh, butter, raw eggs. Several of these are usually ex-vegans or anti-vegans
@@NeroVuk you can get pretty much everything you need by eating animal products, particularly organ means, bone marrow etc.
PC gamer, you are my hero in so many ways :D jokes aside, still my favorite lifter on the tuuuuube.
Hi @clarance Kennedy, how did you cure your Patella Tendinitis? I’ve had it for 6 years and it’s a bastard!
You got a partial Irish accent mixed with an American accent? Or am I tripping.
Well, he's Irish sooo...
Tis just a soft Irish accent
He is irish and filipino
I think he lives in Ireland too
As 12 years vegan powerlifter i can say that is best thing i do for my health and my fitness
Hey Clarence, long time fan from Denmark. What are the benefits of frontsquatting with straps? Cheers, skål
How did you fix the knee problem? In my country, doctors cannot make a clear diagnosis, I can have the same thing
Clarence is the only lad who would out angle Broscience
Clarence, you should start a gaming channel lol.
Yeah, he has a nice voice
Why when doing a clean does the bar leave the clavicle area, as if bouncing after the front squat part of the lift? Is it do to explosiveness or is he purposefully pushing his arms up as a cue and it's too light of a weight for him? I've always wondered..
Its explosiveness, but it also allows a quick adjustment of your grip for the Jerk.
What can you tell me about patella straps for squatting? Do they help with soreness?
Ex vegans “crazy people” “below average intelligence”. Spot on.
Metalhead, vegan, gamer and weightlifter. I found my lost brother.
Do you ever get knee pain or shin pain from doing atg squats? Ive been having a sharp pain in my shin just below my kneecap so was just wondering if you do a lot of mobility or preventative exercises when you are squatting with high frequency
Stretch your quads
And avoid running if you can, it may also help to ice the area.
When will your program be available on the app again?
