      each time he remembers to record his lifts.
      Until recently he saw lots of people post things on youtube and also he realized he also has lots of short videos stored on his devices, with timestamps too.
      And viola, he made this video from them.

In most developed countries average heighr is like 5'8 or 5'9 and clarence in 5'10 which is not bad.

      You shouldn't squat all the way down so your butt touches your calves, as he does. But you're right in so far as that we should strenghten our muscles if we are to practice any sport.

      It was no doubt for training purposes. Especially when you start off as a tricker. It's a really important part of progressing, because the way you think you look while performing a trick is different from the real thing. To perfect your form, you need to know what you look like. He didn't want to stumble through getting form right, he made sure he was improving his form objectively by reviewing every training session.
