The real MVP
What a hero!!
Glad to see you making more of push on this channel. There's NO reason why you can't be at least around 1M subscribers & be making a decent living off youtube. Countless talentless fucks are doing it, & here you are Clarence, a fuckin legend, doing awe inspiring feats on the regular. This channel can and should be one of the biggest fitness channels on UA-cam.
Coolworldleaderguy He's even more talented, appealing and inspiring than most fitness tubers because he's in an Olympic sport that young kids can aspire to be..... TRUE TALENT...👏👏🔩🔩🏃🏃💪💪
agreed. he literally has potential to make some serious bank off his specialty, i dont see why he doesn't.
because he has little personality or charisma. zero marketing. doesnt really put himself out there, compared to the juiced up hyped up fitness youtubers, this guy is bland.
a humble beast in the gym. a rookie in the youtube community. if an athlete of his caliber, had the same drive to push his youtube presence as some of these other roided up fake nattys, he would no doubt gain alot more views and followers
you fucker i wiped my screen because of the profile pic you got me..
Which channels are the talentless fucks out of curiosity?
clarence when is the one handed 300kg snatch?
"the comment section was pure cancer" 😂
" a lot of people overrate the health benefits of veganism" - well yes because maybe you can heal and prevent all diseases with it.... :DDDDD Maybe that is why it's overrated
Balazs Pk Gonna try myself an vegan diet, watch my body composition, check fat levels and hopefully keep or increase my strength....👌👌👌👌
except that's pure fucking nonsense
Balazs Pk you're one of those people he was talking about
If you guys don't believe me, there is a lot of actual science waiting for you to look at. Meat eaters always say that we are biased because the plant based diet is a wonderful thing. It is simply the best for you, for the animals and for the planet. Brainwashed people will think that the truth is biased.
For me, I healed myself from heart disease with it. The doctors would have told me that I should take toxic medications and wait until I'm dead. So it would be really fucking hard to convince me that the plant based diet is overrated!!!! REALLY FUCKING HARD
in the name of clarence, the squat, and the holy snatch
let us enjoy this video 🙌🙏
the holy 'snatch' ...... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Do you ever walk around, look at your fellow humans, and think 'Look at these puny, weak humans with whom I have no physical comparison.'
Me too.
I don't know if this is narcissistic, but whenever somebody is acting like a douchebag I always think in my head "I wonder how much they can squat.... Yeah probably less than me so I'm better than that dude"
@@atlassadsad7422 Only slightly, but you're keeping it to yourself so it's not really a huge deal.
@@KamenProwler +1
@@atlassadsad7422 the fact that people think theyre better because of how much they can squat makes me uncomfortable
Also would like to add: you’re a very motivating person and I appreciate your hard work. Thank you.
Never clicked on a video so fast
Thank you Clarence for doing this.
These Q&A videos are pretty cool, cheers.
Glad to see love for back extensions and rear delt raises. Those are my go-to assistance exercises to keep my back healthy.
Great video Clarence and thank you for standing up for animals while also being an inspiration to lifters.
So you ever use or have you ever used specialty bars for squats, bench or deadlifts such as trap bars, safety squat bars, football bars, cambered bars, etc? Do you have any opinion on their use in any lifting program?
One of my favorite youtubers.
Clarence you are awesome dude. Keep killing it!
Awesome as usual, thanks for sharing Clarence
Best form and speed I've ever seen outside of an Olympic competition...awesome dude.
Clarence, what's your opinion on exclusively pause squatting? I know you decided to make the transition because it'd be easier on your knees, but I recently decided to make the switch a couple months ago and have experienced a great increase in leg development and strength on the squat. (I did this mainly to ensure all my squat reps are kept consistent). Do you think the pause squat is superior to the regular squat for overall strength and muscular development?
I love these videos. Keep doing what your doing
I just got a PR in squat, overhead and deadlift from watching this. Serious. God bless you Clarence.
You're the man Clarence
Filthy Frank made some gains
Troy Lancer meh. That was funny six months ago. Dead meme brah. Papa bless.
Andrew Scott u cringy as fuk niqqah
Leptyzz thanks niqwah
Oh yeah...Holy shit!!! Thats why he retired!!
great video so much to learn keep em coming!
Great info as ever brother 💪💪
I have an essay due in a few hours but here i am...
likeaboss damn I just finished mine dawg gl
likeaboss Americans and their goddam essays, it's worst than the "sorry for my bad english".
Plot twist: I am Canadian and no its not the same thing.
+Baldons nothing is worse than "sorry for my bad english"
Thanks a lot to the people that screwed his live stream with their stupid comments. Please continue to upload what your doing on UA-cam. I love your content.
Enjoyed your sensible commentary. Kudos.
Congrats on the diet change. You are an inspiration.
I'm a simple man: I see a Clarence Kennedy upload, I click like.
GREAT WORK!!! Keep it up.
Good work Clar.
Clarence's strength is off the freaking hook, man. Jesus.
Hey man, big fan, can you dunk? Did Olympic lifts improve your vertical?
Harima Poka 😂Your profile picture is fucking killing me
yes he said it many times... olypic lifts improved his vertical jump !!!
+Ishaz well no, he said that training the vertical jump would have improved his jump much more than the olympic lifts did
Revolting
cant talk
I didn’t even know what tricking was until I saw this you are a straight beast 😂💯
You're the best Clarence!
I'm trying to work on my squat, and I always end up with low back pain... are there any technical tips you've noticed that prevent back pain? Or any cues you feel that help you avoid back pain?
Front squats give me that. I am newb to squatting but I bet it is lack of mobility in hips and your lower back arches in low position.
Please do strength wars!!!
Alexander Zias what's wrong with that? I'm a clarence "fanboy".
Alexander Zias you are funny 😂. Yeah I'm never going to achieve anything by being a fan of someone.
Either a troll or projecting his self hated onto others.
+Alexander Zias I wouldn't phrase it like that, but there is truth to it
ExtremeComments9 he deleted his comments rip
Dude is a straight up Freak! Great work.
That tricking is BADASS, it almost looks like an martial art combination.... You're well talented my pal..!!! 👍👍🔩🔩💪💪🏃🏃
CLARENCE WILL YOU MARRY ME, IM A 22 YEAR OLD HETEROSEXUAL MALE
...And this is why I created a Patreon for live streams
Any G4P in the Patreon or na?
Fuckthisshitplanet lol after seeing Clarence and hearing his voice I also had to consider my sexuality
Will you marry me? I'm a 22 year old homosexual male.
Alexander Zias - Hundreds of homoerotic comments
Im a simple guy, I see Clarence, I click like
Thanks for doing these, gonna up my volume. Feel more confident about changing diet too, cheers.
thanks for all the tips terence
h3h3 spotted papa bless these gains
or a CEO! cops called
#Fupaloss2017
H3h3 is dead now rip
If I don't squat every day, my power drops about 10 kg!
What the hell is this? Weird!
Hey Clarence, when you say you recommend intermediate lifters to squat 3 days a week are these all heavy 5x5 sessions or a mix? Plan for all heavy but go light of warm ups feel like crap?
Very strong and intelligent guy, yet humble AF... I like that.
Yo clearance, would you compete in strength wars if given the opportunity?
No.
no
lol didn't know Clarence listen to a music from the ear buds during a squat
thanks clarence. im a patreon now :)
Hi Clarence, thanks for so much info on squatting. What are your thoughts on programming pulls and press variations for weightlifters to keep a good balance? Ie: how much volume in pulls relative to squats and at what intensities?
Woke from an Alien vs. Predator nightmare, to a NEW CLARENCE VID! YES!
I love you Clarence
Thanks for this. How do you avoid pain in the patellar ligament while (heavy) squating? Sometimes I have knee pain, sometimes I don't. The reason for that is I'm learning to squat, and so I've tried different techniques/forms.
This guy is an absolute unit
The vegan gainz that actually makes gains
You can make really good gains as a vegan. And there truly isn't a singular argument against veganism.
@@keiztrat it tastes like shit there’s one haha
@@Jamie-bg3zb Beans, Rice, Legumes, nuts, Oat, Grains, cucumber, Tomato, Carrots. These all taste terrible to you?
@@keiztrat no I eat them also but can’t deny chicken and meat tastes great
@@Jamie-bg3zb That is a common saying coming from meat eaters. While the endless choices of what we eat doesn't involve pain and suffering and resulting in unnecessary death. Eating "meat" and "chicken" because the "taste though" sounds really stupid. Needn't I have to even mention. And certainly eating meat can't be a matter of choice as the poor animals don't get left with any choice to begin with. They don't choose to be on your plate. What difference is there from eating dog and cat meat to other animal meat?
Omar has made several appearances on Supertraining videos, have you ever considered making an appearance on that channel?
cingred13 Supertraining is in Sacramento and Clarence is in Scotland/ somewhere in the UK I believe so there’s a bit of traveling in the way of that
He's actually Irish! :)
Alice O'Connor definitely from Ireland
Alice O'Connor his Irish and Filipino actually 😎
What? really? I'm a Filipino too
Just discovering your stuff and I like it. No BS personal trainer cookie cutter approach, just honesty in your approach. Good stuff.
Can you go in depth with the second pull of the clean? Particularly incorporating hip drive and eliminating the hitch and bounce?
Hey clarence, idk if this has ever been an issue for you but I have a lot of tightness/inflexibility in my upper back and shoulders and it makes it difficult to front squat and hang clean with good form. Do you have a stretching routine for these areas and what's the best way to increase my clean?
In before Vegan Gains vs. Clarence0
My name is Pianol Richie and I'm vegan on a sunday morning
CANCER
Cyber bully channels are cancer cancer cancer
Thank you Clarence
Quick question, have you ever taken an interest in other lifting related sports like Powerlifting or Strongman even if you haven't participates in them?
i saw that live stream and yes, the comments section had a tumor with a tumor on top.
Robbie James what were the comments on the live feed like? I've seen a few people mention them being bad?
do you have a job clarence? or do you just lift 24/7?
He's in uni.
Incredible! My new favorite weightlifter. And a great channel. I am glad you are also showcasing veganism to demonstrate its potential and to break the long-held myth against such diet.
Question: If you decide to compete in powerlifting do you plan to modify your squat/bench technique towards a more traditional pl style or not? Interested to hear what you think of low bar/parallel squatting or wide bench etc.
Clarence could make a video called "taking a shit" and I would watch it in a heartbeat ;_;
Clarence squat god show us the ways to squat glory :O
Clarence I believe that scientists have confirmed that many plants have nerves (obviously not as developed as animals). If this is the case than do you believe that the "pain" and poor living conditions of plants do not matter as much as animals? I'm sure you've thought of this already but I'd be interested to see what you think
Don Clark Do you have any links to peer reviewed studies on this subject? If plants have feelings there would still be fewer plants killed eating a vegan diet as there would be eating a diet of animal products. The animals have to eat something.
This is so dumb that it doesn't warrant a response
"I believe scientists have confirmed..." lol ok, you believe that.
Plants are intelligent, but not sentient.
Awesome content, watching your clean form it's really pleasent, I can't get this movement correctly, could you give some advices on how to start learning weightlifting movements?
@clarence0 you are the man! A video on what you eat throughout the day would be cool to see how you maintain at least 3,500+ calories. Also what are you doing specifically when you come to the top of your clean to reposition your rack? Basically I'm asking how do you get that pop and readjust so efficiently every time?
brah, will you compete in strength wars?
Vs Seba Kot please :D
I love you
Clarence how fast did you progress in the squat and deadlift when you started? For example how strong were you after your first or second year of training?
I demand more content Clarence! I'm a notification sub!
i figured out the secret to clarence's gainz. it's the spell: "wingardium leviosa"
youre doing so much for the vegan community, much appreciated
Indeed! Hopefully many others can also come to their senses
@@keiztrat why phrase it as "senses" you're only dividing people when you're condescending
Mr Clarence, I have a question. I do capoeira 2x per week, tuesday and thursdays. How would you go about inserting squats into the mix without being wrecked, sore and basically not-agile in my capoeira sessions?
You're literally my idol.
This guy is bad ass... I feel like trash.
AskEpic it's ok don't feel like trash just keep liftin
CLARENCE VS THE FACELESS!!!!!
You’re literally a DIAMOND, precious opal, sapphire… the fucking best of UA-cam.
Clarence do you do anything specific to stay lean (do you ever cut or go in a caloric deficit phase), or have you never had a problem staying lean while gaining muscle and strength?
Same thing happened to me. Couldn't find a good argument against veganism for health ethics or environment. Awesome vid!
Not sure how you couldn't find one.
Question: why aren't you compete at Olympics?
He aint ready yet man
Sorenkhanizio I think he is, maybe not the number one,but should compete atleast.
clarence what kind of corrective movements do you recommend for knee pain, I experience no pain when front squatting, but feel alot of pain in one knee when backsquatting atg
Do you do any sort of overhead pressing to increase your jerk and overhead position in general, or do you just bench?
Clarence, did you have a gf?
Alice O'Connor wasnt he with the redhead though?
LOL
Alex Parks Her name's Lois Lane... she's a reporter for some daily.
Hey, its me, Clarence's GF. AMA!
"Do you squash every day?" :D
Do you ever get any wrist pain while weightlifting? I usually get really sore wrists after I snatch... any tips to deal with this?
Clarence, did you train dumping the bar for the back squat (to avoid injury with heavy loads you couldn't finish)? If so, how?
Going to defiantly eat a lot more vegan foods , for health reasons.
our god has spoken again
Thank you for this Q&A clarence. I have 2 questions if you got time. NO problem if you prefer not to answer :)
1: how often do you increase weight on your lifts, as far as progressive overload goes, do you recommend increasing every week or focus on 1 weight for a longer period of time then increase the weight?
2: I feel like I respond extremely well with deadlifts but not so much in squats or bench. Do you advise against only training deadlift once per week perhaps once every 2 week and rather have me increase my frequency with my squat and bench?
Do you recommend ever focusing on just the clean or do you always clean and jerk every time you train the clean?
Welcome to the vegan fam!! Wish id made the change sooner myself but better late than never!!
Absolutely!
