When I was 115 kg, I used to squat 200 kg. With this, I was 1 of the 5 strongest guys in any commercial gym I went to. In this video there is a 47 kg woman, who squat 210 kg...
That 300 kg pause completely raw squat Clarence did got me lifting. That was 5 years ago for me and I’m so grateful I saw it. Changed my perspective about the gym completely. I used to do body building routines. So grateful to discover Clarence! What a beast.
Chen Wei Ling competed at powerlifting and weightlifting simultaneously, she competed in 3 olympics and ended up with the gold medal for Beijing. Is she the only IPF and Olympic champion? Certainly while competing in both simultaneously. She did this 210kg squat for the equipped record, two months after Rio. With that absurd racking and reracking, I wonder how much she was really capable of. But aside from that, she also has the equipped deadlift record at 186kg from 2014, and the equipped total record, AND the squat, DL and total raw world records in 2015 as well. She out totalled the next competitor by 45kg in that competition. Imagine out totalling someone by 2kg under your bodyweight. While also competing in another sport on the world stage - 5th at worlds that year, could have been 2nd if she made her lifts. She retired a few years ago, but I did see her squatting 180 or so in weightlifting training towards the end.
I read that she was the only person to be Olympic Champion in weightlifting, World Champion in powerlifting, AND World Games champion in powerlifting. Also to speak of how she did the two sports simultaneously, she competed in Asian Champs for weightlifting in the same year that she did that crazy squat in the video. Truly an absolute legend!!
yeah the design is terrible. I have use something similar, it was quadpod squat stand and every time I unracked and moved back, my feet would hit the pods. It was annoying
They're the best individual stand design out there, I'm not sure what everyone's problem is with them. The legs are designed so you can walk out only a tiny amount and be able to drop the bar without catapulting the stands all over the gym. Look at Yoichii Itokazu's recent post on instagram, he does a rack jerk without even walking out past the legs and drops it like an inch in front of the uprights. And if you don't like the default position, you can just not use the hole for the pin and twist them wherever you like. Pretty much every other individual stand design out there is far more restrictive of the feet, and far more rickety. Toshiki roughly dumps 300+ in them on the daily and they're more stable than full squat racks.
The Shane Hamman clip is from my video, ha ha! In 2001 USA Weightlifting coach Dragomir Cioroslan allowed me to interview Shane for Powerlifting USA Magazine at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, even though it was closed to visitors at the time I was there.
Hamman likes to claim pretty impressive stuff - I think he also told seb that he once snatch balanced 240 or something. I’d take it with a grain of salt, unless video or corroboration exist.
Always fascinated and impressed with the leg power and depth that weightlifters achieve with their high bar squats, since my first issue of MILO too many years ago to want to count. Enjoyed this collection, thank you for putting it together.
I'm wondering how 120Kg goes up when I squat it since I started with a 60Kg squat. I can't imagine what must be going through your head when you're just lifting double that amount like it's nothing.
@@StrangeSBLPerson watch videos in the training hall when he's lifting from All Things Gym. He wears it under his shirt or sometimes he will take off the top part of singlet and it will cover the belt. It's like a blue Valeo belt. Even in the clips shown in this video, if you got watch the full footage from that session you will see him wearing it. Not that it takes anything away from his incredible squat numbers.
OMG around 15:10 you can see Tank's foot bang into the support post. He has to awkwardly reposition to get room to go into his stance. Jeez that guy needs better equipment.
Even just 60 pounds could impress some people. There was a locker room at the post office where I worked. I stood on a wooden bench with a 60 pound dumb bell in one hand, and did easy looking one legged "pistol" type movements and dropped some jaws whereas my idea of the best leg strength performance, Varbanov at 75kgs front squat 285 kgs!

I read that, besides high jumpers, weightlifters have the highest leaps of any athletes at the Olympics. Makes sense when you look at what the sports require.
I agree that Russian girl might be the strongest woman ever, but man, Amanda Lawrence gives her a run for her money, and is only 190lbs. Also while the Chinese powerlifter girl is very impressive, that squat is single ply, not raw, and it makes a huge difference. Just something to keep in mind.
@@pinpad5956 I understand that weightlifters squat for every single lift and powerlifters squat in only 1/3 of them so weightlifters should actually be better at squatting than powerlifters but hey, I actually understand both sports, I can see that's a little too much for you.
If you do one on front squats, maybe include a couple front squats by strongmen and powerlifters. There was an Oceanic strongman who had the biggest ever front squat some 10 years ago, I think. Something in the 320s. Then Eric Lilliebridge's some time training partner (he was a great squatter but disappeared so quickly that I actually forgot his name) did 370 or so. But whatever you do, you *have to* include Jezza Uepa. He was born to squat as a SHW in a nation where weightlifting and powerlifting are national sports and did in excess of 400 kg in the front squat.
3:90 Just as a recommendation, look at Russel's 327 kilo training squat bc it's just insane. Not sure if he squats high bar but other than that, it's definitely a weightlifting squat in terms of loading the quads
Do you have any info on height and squatting? I am 198.12 cm and 113 KG, so I accept that I might not lift as much as the shorter folks. Who are the tallest competitive weightlifters?
basically every superheavyweight in weightlifting, strongman and powerlifting is atleast 180cm tall, and right now both the jr weightlifting champion (enzo kuworge) and senior champion (lasha talakhadze) are your same height, 197-198cm. So dont be discouraged, if you have the genetics to fill your frame and bulk up to id say at least 130-140kg, you are going to be a best. In the end height is an advantage as in every other sport, and the leverage thing is overblown imo when you have the chance to be much bigger and heavier (and ultimately stronger) than your shorter counterpart. But you have to bulk up, or you will sell yourself short of your potential
@@Dr_Mandler ahaha that was an example as to not get discouraged. I consider myself as having good genetics at 110kg 183cm, but man i wish i was as tall as you, cause i could have the potential to be stronger
Yeah there are a lot of people who can do more squats that are not on video Back in my high school days I can squad 1300 pounds No cap But I could never find videos of it on the Internet
When I was 115 kg, I used to squat 200 kg. With this, I was 1 of the 5 strongest guys in any commercial gym I went to. In this video there is a 47 kg woman, who squat 210 kg...
And you will remain the 1 of the 5 strongest guys in the gym (she is a girl)
Any one who I saw in a gym squatting around 220kg they were all doing barely parallel squats, with belt and knee wraps ... lol
Equipped to be fair. But yeah, its ridiculous
weak gym, weak boy, nice ego, weak little man

Yes and in some super tight wraps, Still godlike tho
Is that the girl who did 4x bodyweight and had the trouble walking it out?
@@pervyboy69 dumb
Ok and? Most people couldn't even walk out 210kg with full equip, not even considering her bodyweight
I get a brain hemorrhage every time I see Tank or Senpai use those tripod squat racks.

DO THE FRONT SQUAT ONE TOO
That Kirksman/Lifthard guy said there's was supposedly a SHW on the Chinese team that could Squat 440kg
You should included powerlifters damien pezzuti and C3 (respectthedepth) muscle. They squat high bar ATG beltless on par with Clarence
John Haacke too
This guy's a gangster? His real name's Clarence!
and Clarence lives at home with both parents
Do you think he pauses on purpose or he's just thinking about what he's going to have for dinner?

Sad face for no Nathan Damron. Dudes squat is so freaky he deserved the shout out 😭

Tank murakami is very entertaining
Great video!
Long torso, but also long femurs and short lower legs=sad boy hours. I vow to squat like this one day
