Jujimufu You both motivate me to be stronger and have a better life style. Following you both has gotten me bigger, stronger and better with my wrestling. Thank you both, keep up the work and kill the workouts.
El Mako But he is right though. Low bar squats and wide grip benchpress look ugly as fuck and have almot zero range of motion. You could as well just hold the weight and not move it at all. That this shit even gets counted as a rep...
@@adamg4336 what are you talking about? Have you read the book? It will double your squat in 3 months EASILY. You just have to do the program, ( e. g. Eat about 4000kcal a day and sleep 8-10hrs). And it's called STARTING strength because it's not meant to be done for years. Just the first few months, until you start plateauing repeatedly.
I'd been wanting to get into Olympic lifting since I was a kid and first saw a Chinese weightlifter in the Olympics. Those guys are monstrous, lean, and aesthetic and also really strong in terms of relative strength. I'm 21 now and my gym is just finally getting bumper plates, sometimes I get bummed out with how many years of experience I could've had if I started younger. It'll be fun though!
Wow, Clarence is so strong and aesthetic. He weighs around 220 lbs and he can close grip bench 440+ lbs. Pause squat ass to grass 660q lbs. And beltless deadlift 750+ lbs. And clean and jerk a shit ton of weight and move around freely. I want to see how high Clarence vertical jump is in measurements. I want to see if Clarence can jump higher than Terron beckham
clarence0 yes!!! Please do it. We want to see ur all around athleticism. Some people think Terron can outjump u. Terron has a vertical jump of 44.5 inches. I think u can jump higher
found you a month or two ago, really happy i did. the fact u are the most chilled guy, yet lifting incredible weight is just awesome. amidst all the egotistical idiots and narcissism on this website, you are like a shining star
Clarence is a true example of wat pure hard work is u don’t need da best genetics or the best diet or even a phenomenal program keep putting in the work and u will end up achieving ur goals
Im always excited when i see a new QnA from you, you never fail to just answer the questions as straightforward as possible and give excellent advice, thanks clarence, keep up the good videos
Clarence, have you ever thought about the future of your channel? Like different types of videos and more informational videos. I loved you in the Jujimufu videos!! Also im a huge fan, youre my squat insperation!
Yeah of course. I will definitely start making different types of videos (I'll buy a better camera and improve the editing and filming), but I'll always upload the classic training videos.
Yeah, I like the classic. Your gym corner (now moved ?), almost no editing, and just adrenaline and lot of kilos. But would appreciate cooking videos, meal preparation etc. You could also post some accessories exercises a lot more and some of your rutines and warm up sets.
Clarence my man you're an absolute legend and an inspiration to us all, and I sure as shit don't need to tell you to keep it up - was wondering, does your left knee still cause you pain during workouts or is it manageable at this point?
man, you are the one who introduce me to olympic weightlifting, and never thought that i`ll interested to it, im 16. And i just want to say it that i just tried weightlifting in my local gym, and this is my start point. maybe later i`ll be on olympic, or not, just do it for fun. who knows. So thanks for introducing me to olympic weightlifting clarence, ure the best.
no offense but faceless would destroy you even in a strength competition, his PR squat is 320 kg, his deadlift pr is 350 kg and bench press PR is 220 kg. Endurance wise he would murder u
@dragondude30 no offence but you have no idea what you are talking about, clarence pause atg squat raw 300kg highbar, faceless does sumo deadlift and low bar squat paralell, clarence would squat 340-350 that way and clarence could deadlift like 360 without shoes and a belt conventional, the only thing clarence is weaker in is the bench, and clarence could lift prob 210-215 tradition style wide grip bounce bench, so you have no idea what you are talking about.
rubenaunet not right now he can't, if u saw a video with him in jujimufus channel. he was having trouble with 515 for 5 reps. faceless does 550 lbs for 10 reps for a warm up no joke. And faceless's conventional deadlift increased to 340 kg. i believe Clarence is much weaker now than he was before. currently I faceless would win in a strength battle
Jacob Espinosa I think his vertical is damn near 30 inch. He's fast too. If u check out jujimoofoo videos, that raced and he beat juji bare in high grass
Tom Williams No, 30 isn’t elite at all. Clarence tested his vert on camera it looked over 40”, if anything he only lost 5 inches MAX so he must be 35”+
There's a old video somewhere where clarence does a 40 inch vertical. The title was him squatting somewhere in 200kg range and he was 81kg if I remember correctly.
Hey Clarence it is truly inspiring to see that early footage of you lifting along side your present day self. Really shows that whoever you are if you have the determination and will to reach your goals you can do it, hits really hard for me. Thanks for sharing that with us, I really do look up to you when it comes to weightlifting keep it up the good work man. Cant wait to get back in the gym after I recover from my injury.
I know for some people both squats are an easy movement, you literally sit down and stand back up. But you should do two short tutorial videos for the front and back squat. I feel like alot of people could benefit from it.
there would be a huge point, clarence does all the lifts in a unconventional way , obviously he has perfect form but he lifts in a special way, lets the bench hit hes abs, shift hips and knees alot on the squat etc etc, i salute smoo7hy for making that comment, i think clarence making tutorial on all lifts would be very enjoyable and informative.
Check out Allan Thrall´s videos, or Starting Strength, even if I hate voice of Mark Rippetoe I taught so much from his tutorials, i have watched many tutorials but I think ones from Rippetoe are the best i have seen.
appreciate your content clarence, i usually get bored spamming training videos but i never get bored with yours. wanted to know whether you had any sort of pre and/or post workout routines to do when you squat
I'd say that he had a very good foundation of power and muscle conditioning due to plyometrics before he began lifting. This is why he progressed so quick because plyonetrics transfers into lifting no doubt.
Hey Clarence, can you describe your knee problems and your regimen to get them healthy again? I have bad patellar tendonopathy-type pain. I'm 27. I haven't lifted for 8 months after working up to a 365 squat. I was really inspired to see your lifts after you had apparently battled bad knees.
Thanks for the info Clarence. I'd love to see some more info on your cooking recipes! Also what you do for recovery would be great. P.S I saw you are budgeting for a new camera. If you need any advice regarding what DSLR cameras are great for vlogging don't hesitate to ask!
Hehe Clarence got a PZPN blue T-shirt from competitions in Ciechanow, Poland :-). Thumbs up for a Q and A's video. Take care Clarence. Greetings from Poland :-)
Very interesting man! For future Q&A: How long do you think I'd take for someone who starts off weightlifting with a decent background (110kg paused front squat, 200kg deadlift) to reach about 130-150 clean and jerk and 100 snatch? Considering long femurs and tall athlete. Thanks, keep it up!
@perforamnce fitness clarence has mentioned earlier that your front squat would be alot stronger than your clean, like 30-40 kgs it all depends on how hard you train, recover and eat etc but ithink clarence opinion would be that you would need a front squat, prob with a pause to be able to only clean 140-150kgs being able to jerk it, you would need atleast a 120kg bench press, also keep in mind the numbers you posted arent far from the natural potential to most people, many people uses like 6-7 years to clean and jerk 160-170kg but bodyweight is a huge factor obviously.
@Steven Yeah sounds about right. When I estimated, I was really thinking about the snatch. It takes quite a while to master the full movement, some people do instantly get the overhead squat, but not most.
@poppymusic how does that sound right when steven already had intermediate - elite power lifts? 230kg deadlift takes like 3 years to achive so how is that 3months? obviously the guy asking the question doesnt lift the deadlift with good form since hes front squat is only 110kg, this guy would probably use 2 or 3 years to get to a 160kg clean and jerk
Its crazy when i first started lifting i remember having the goal of squatting 100kg for five reps nice n clean. Holy shit i got there, but man the more people and knowledge you gain i now realise that is nothing ! How the hell some guys are pushing 180kg plus is madness. And im a preety good size !
1. Deep squat, 2. Heavy squat, 3. Huge quads. Combined, you make a beast in my book. I get so motivated watching your deep, thick, heavy beast of a quad squats. Thank you sir. I'm back in love with squats. How many days can u hit squats a week for optimal strenght gain? Based on your experience
How did I not know you had a channel?!? Just saw you on Omar's channel, so awesome you got to expose such a large non vegan audience to veganism 😃 looking forward to more of your videos!
Hey, Clarence. First of all, I want to congratulate you for everything you're achieving in your life, and you are one of my inspirations lately. How did you learn about diet and training methods? Please recommend the material you used :)
Clarence if you are reading this then you should definitely compete in strength wars. It's my belief that you would school everyone there. They are very good bunch of guys and the competitions are fun. I am sure you will love. Please atleast do check them out. I'm not affiliated with them, I'm just a fan of both of you.
Would love to see a full breakdown of Squat/Bench/Deadlift techniques and why you should use them/who should use them. It would be so beneficial to someone like me who wants to get fully into Squatting besides the other things, but I struggle to find whats best for me since i'm 6'8" with VERY long femurs and everything to do with these lifts feels generally uncomfortable. Is there any particular chance of you doing this?
Hey Clarence! Love your stuff! Something that I find really interesting is that you weigh about 100kg at about 180cm in height, and still you are very lean with really dense and strong muscle. You are not the biggest guy around, yet you are super strong and pretty heavy. My question would be, how can you weigh that much at your height while not being very bulky?
clarence put up a 3-4x bench a week for me, the more you do the lift the better really, overtraining is kinda bs as long as you dont overload each workout.
Clarence, I have two questions. First; Alot of us either have a job or school and sometimes it's hard to find the energy to head to the gym. What are key nutrition elements to increase your overall energy and focus? Second; Would you recommend to get your blood tested on a regular basis in the beginning? Lets say every 6 months to keep track of your deficiencies untill you find what works for you. Or simply to check your testosterone levels. (Alot of men actually suffer from low testosterone but it seems to be taboo to talk about it.)
huge tip that i got personaly from clarence, "nutrition timing is very important, you should eat a big meal with alot of protein and carbs between 2,5-3 hours before training" also id like to add in he drinks alot of cofee as preworkout, those two should help ALOT. oh yea and obviously get in 7-9hoursd sleep
Daniel Chachanashvili Define eat healthy? Some people think they eat healthy but instead they have some holes in their diet and they become deficient in whatever. I myself have a vitamine D deficiency during the winter, commonly known as winter depression so every winter i take a vitamin D supplement. I only found out when I had my blood tested.
I track my food with chronometer, once you know what your body needs (blood test) you can set the amount of each nutrient you need in chronometer (it's a website with a free version that's almost good as the paid)
Clarence, please call home. Your Tom and Pop miss you.
Lots of love
I'm worried sick. I've replaced you with creatine and couch and I'm getting too hudge.

You are not the biggest guy around, yet you are super strong and pretty heavy. My question would be, how can you weigh that much at your height while not being very bulky?
looking forward to this upcoming what i eat video
Clarence: "It just doesn't look good.." Me: *cold sweat*
would benching once a week be enough for powerlifting ?
As a beginner/intermediate? Definitely not.
damn, i guess i should give up powerlifting and just stick with oly lifting
or bench twice a week
Define "enough".
clarence put up a 3-4x bench a week for me, the more you do the lift the better really, overtraining is kinda bs as long as you dont overload each workout.
Clarence, I have two questions. First; Alot of us either have a job or school and sometimes it's hard to find the energy to head to the gym. What are key nutrition elements to increase your overall energy and focus? Second; Would you recommend to get your blood tested on a regular basis in the beginning? Lets say every 6 months to keep track of your deficiencies untill you find what works for you. Or simply to check your testosterone levels. (Alot of men actually suffer from low testosterone but it seems to be taboo to talk about it.)
i think ur overthinking it, just eat healthy
huge tip that i got personaly from clarence, "nutrition timing is very important, you should eat a big meal with alot of protein and carbs between 2,5-3 hours before training" also id like to add in he drinks alot of cofee as preworkout, those two should help ALOT. oh yea and obviously get in 7-9hoursd sleep
Daniel Chachanashvili Define eat healthy? Some people think they eat healthy but instead they have some holes in their diet and they become deficient in whatever. I myself have a vitamine D deficiency during the winter, commonly known as winter depression so every winter i take a vitamin D supplement. I only found out when I had my blood tested.
Hard training will drive your test and gh levels up.
I track my food with chronometer, once you know what your body needs (blood test) you can set the amount of each nutrient you need in chronometer (it's a website with a free version that's almost good as the paid)
Clarence you should do a day in the life video , would be sick af
