Decided to do something different while Clarence was in Toronto and hold a lift off. We sent out a post inviting anyone and everyone to lift against Clarence (either absolute weight or by Sinclair, which is like the Wilks for weightlifting). Out of everyone invited, only Spencer Moorman, formerly of Cal Strength agreed to the showdown. Some pretty insane lifts in the video here (multiple 200kg/441lb Clean & Jerks, a 180kg/397lb Snatch). The event was free and open to everyone to come (about 30 people came to 646 weightlifting to watch it). If you enjoyed this lift off make sure to like the video and let me know who you want to see next. Also make sure to check out Clarence and Spencer's social media in the description!
@@johnybgood2459 You snatch what's within your capabilities. But in order to make a name of yourself or win you need to clean and jerk even beyond your limits. Not what you can but what you must.
@@johnybgood2459 If you go too hard in the snatch, you'll be too tired for the clean & jerk. Since the CJ is the last lift, it would make sense to be fresher for it so you'd be able to hit higher numbers.
Clarence is so explosive it's insane. I want to see him in just one powerlifting competition where he atg pause squats 650lb with no gear whatsoever and watch all the powerlifters jaws hit the floor
180 kg snatch... Bloody hell. Deadlifting that to me is insane but throwing it up over your head is just ridiculous strength. I wanna know what Clarence's vertical is more than anything
Well you can reach 180kg/405lbs deadlift in like a year of training if you have average work ethic and genetics, but snatching that is just world level shit
Awesome video! Couldn't have made it without Spencer being willing to make the trip all the way up there. Love the respect they have for one another, and why not; very few people in the world can do what they do.
The sound of calibrated weightlifting plates going onto bars is so nice. Also very happy Clarence is doing so many videos with other youtubers! Hopefully he can do some with powerlifters in the future.
These guys are amazing. Shame Clarence isn't interested in competing. Even if he's at 105 these days (seems likely), he'd be 15kg shy of the snatch record and 26kg shy of the clean & jerk record. Not a bad place to be for a young lifter.
weightlifters are awesome - they get way too little credit nowadays where Bodybuilding is totally hyped out. what these dudes do is incredible. the explosiveness is so damn awesome
If you go back and watch Clarence's old competition days, you'll see he always outperforms most of his peers on the snatch, and then he fails epicly on his clean and jerk attempts, even on weights he knows he should be able to hit. The dude has hit 225kg (500 lbs) on the clean and jerk before (probably heavier bodyweight), but if you make him snatch beforehand, he only hits his 200kg.
Of course he would have exhausted some part of his CNS. The other competitors would have too, and they still lift heavy on the clean and jerk. I'm just pointing out a problem Clarence has, that if addressed, could potentially make him a world class lifter.
Happy he is world class lifter,just not an Olympian,Which is light years away from lifting weights on UA-cam edited.Still strong and powerful just not an Olympian which is the end game or goal in weightlifting.
This, and also Ireland would need to send more athletes to the European and other international championships first to gain spots at the Olympics. You can't just show up at the Olympics. The process is actually quite complicated even I don't really get it lol
I was binging old calstrength videos and 646's upload of this came up in the recommended section- I didn't know this was in Toronto until now... That's cool as fuck!
this was an awesome vid, been watching spencer for ages and seen clarence transformation vid but hearing him speak for the first time through me off massively haha. cheers Omar for the content!
Honestly I am not sure. This video took an hour to process on UA-cam and I think they fucked it up. It's been stuck at 360p for the last 30 minutes. COME ON UA-cam
i dont understand weightlifting, like the snatch for example, is clarence just stronger or does he just have better techique, because i feel like if you can get it off the floor its all technique from there.
Donovan Hall I do weightlifting and I can deadlift almost 400lbs and belive me when I say I will probably never be able to throw that type of weight over my head like these guys. I would say its probably 40% technique 60% strength
Weightlifting isn't technique or strength, It's both. If either your technique, strength, flexibility or speed aren't good, you won't be a good weightlifter.
Technique is the most important part since competing happens in weightclasses and technique is the most limiting factor. If you look at Spencer the reason why he can't catch the bar is because he jumps way too back. Resulting in bar placing over his head and not behind him
There are ideal ratios in weightlifting between your snatch, clean and jerk and back squat. You want to be snatching 60-65% of your squat, and 80% of your clean and jerk. Beyond that it's just strength.
Man, this video was hella cool! The spirit and attitude of everyone involved made me smile! Such cool, positive and down to earth guys! Major motivation boost! Thanks for the content and everyone involved: Keep being cool!
Clarence doesn't push those weights up, the weights just rise for him. Clarence doesn't fail at lifts, the weights just fail to keep up with him. Clarence doesn't go down when he squats, the earth just rises up to meet him.
That has always been his main weakness in the clean and jerk, and I don't know why he's never really improved it. Getting crushed by the bar, rocked back on his heels, and having to stand from a dead start kills his clean and jerk.

OmarIsuf that snatch tho 😳
OmarIsuf this was so enjoyable. Thanks alot dude
OmarIsuf awesome vid , and the souls of mischief instrumental was a very very nice touch my friend 👍🏼
great work omar! i really enjoy these videos
OmarIsuf what is Clarence's bodyweight
All the other weightlifters pussied out. Credit to Spencer.
true true
No one can touch Clarence. His parents had a real nice marriage.
jj P underrated comment
jj P ripping off b rabbit from 8mile
SALEH Lafi no shit mate. Its a joke
Milk Man obviously, dork. Get bent
Hawkeye dislikes this comment
The explosiveness of Clarence is unbelievable.
The way he goes from the pull to the overhead is so fast. It looks like he is only snatching a pvc pipe.
tom possessed nana anana Clarence is a god, usain is a mere human
@ok his genetics are the big part
@@maxgg8415 Definitely genetics and hard work. It's all about muscle insertions and shit.
tom possessed how does usain bolt have anything to do with lifting ? He couldn’t squat 135
clarence has creases on his legs i've only seen in anatomy textbooks
Andrew Ahn *comic books
Goals
His quads are sick mirin
impressive for a weightlifter for sure but have you ever seen bodybuilders? lmao its nothing new.
@@whitegoodman7465 superficial muscle from spamming leg extensions. Not the same density at all lol

Christian Benda
I think his 750lbs deadlift at 220lbs /190 weightclass is much more amazing
Christian Benda true. Plus he won't place in the Olympics he isn't strong enough. but he would be top 8 probably.
John Constantin that's true, either way
Was that "no gear" intended as a pun?
Their jaws won't hit the floor. Clarence is lifting celebrity, powerlifters know who he is and how impressive he is, it wouldn't surprise them.
Clarence sticking to his roots and choosing to only be in videos filmed in 360p or less #respect

Xeon Leeder The hedgehog yeah its intermediate level. You can easily reach 60kh ohp 100kg bench 140squat and 180deadlift if you have average genetics
@@Reqipem I have average genetics and have an 85kg OHP after a year of lifting seriously so it is very possible to hit even 100kg within 2 years
@@Reqipem Saying a lift is intermediate without a context is meaningless. I weigh 140 and 405 for me would be advanced lol
INCREDIBLE! What a legend Spencer is for getting involved, both insanely strong too 👍🏻
Great content Omar
13:45 omar just defeated the awkward handshake, I didn't even realize that was possible?
pewdiepie would be proud
It’s only awkward if you have little confidence
so it's awkward for everyone here.
Clarence looks too much like filthy frank...
i was just about to comment how he looks like a jacked filthy frank lol
and Charlie Thomas Cox
Thank you
Once papa franku left the rice fields , he appeared in ireland and just began squating
Clarence's quads are like sculpted perfection
Clarence needs to go on STRENGTH WARS!!!!
kek he would easily destroy everyone there
Larry Wheels needs to go to STRENGTH WARS!!!!
JMBBproject full slaughter mode there lol
Clarence vs Larry would be absolutely insane. Or Scott Herman vs Jeff Cavaliere
Brian Shaw vs Eddie Hall :D
You didn't need to say that he was fine. He's Clark Kent, of course hes fine! Only kryptonite damages this man.
JackalGaming 1 and magic but...
You're a squatter, Harry.

he's 97kg here
watch clarence's competitive lifts of the past, you'll understand why he doesn't compete anymore. He doesn't seem focused while lifting competitively
I'll stick to benching, squatting, and deadlifting.
saures1999 I'll stick to only rack pulls.
above the knee?
KSR PUROHIT FITNESS only 3 inches of range baby😉
okay alphadestiny
my favorite exercise is seated calf rises
weightlifters are awesome - they get way too little credit nowadays where Bodybuilding is totally hyped out. what these dudes do is incredible. the explosiveness is so damn awesome
also the fact that the video is only 360p makes it so clarence kennedy. I'm feeling so nice and calm watching it
That guy has massive traps and a Really long neck on top of it. It looks like his arms are sliding down his body.
MAGA MAN He kinda looks like Schnitzel from Chowder
@@barlescharkley9194 LMAAAAOOOOOOO STOP !!!!
Narrow frame, that's why he looks like that.
Narrow-ish shoulders and trap insertions that practically go up to his jaw
dont shit on the dude come on its genatic, i was born similarly but kudos for him lifting 200kgs
mvp for spencer to drive 4 hours to compete and have this video for all of us to see!

The dude has hit 225kg (500 lbs) on the clean and jerk before (probably heavier bodyweight), but if you make him snatch beforehand, he only hits his 200kg.
for one, he's max clean and jerk is 220kg, also he's sitting at a lower body weight and he doesn't fail epically lol ...200kg...pretty decent!
What do you mean he doesn't fail epicly? He's gone multiple competitions failing all 3 of his clean and jerk attempts, while leading in the snatch.
Happy He failed snatch at 180kg like over 5 times. You think maybe his CNS would be fried? Just fuckin maybe?
Of course he would have exhausted some part of his CNS. The other competitors would have too, and they still lift heavy on the clean and jerk. I'm just pointing out a problem Clarence has, that if addressed, could potentially make him a world class lifter.
Happy he is world class lifter,just not an Olympian,Which is light years away from lifting weights on UA-cam edited.Still strong and powerful just not an Olympian which is the end game or goal in weightlifting.
Dude both of them are strong as fuck! But Clarence Is on another level!💪
Damn, Clarence doesn't just do Ass to Grass, he should change it to "Ass to the Earth's Crust" like holy fuck
Harry Squatter and the Golden Snatch
11:23 LOOK AT HIS QUAD! This dude is an alien.
It’s just the anime protagonist, don’t mind him
Congratulations to both Clarence and Spencer for some excellent lifts!
that guy is 25? holy shit he looks 35
Im proud of you Clarence,Omar has helped you getting your channel known and you still deserve more subs tbh but congrats dude
somewhat agree but his content just isn't as relateable and his personality doesn't shine out brightly in his channels
Why doesnt clarence go to the Olympics for Ireland?
Cooper Carr because to go to the olympics you need a team around you who can make sure you pass the drug tests Ireland doesn't do that
yeah its a shame honestly he really has a lot of potential for it
This, and also Ireland would need to send more athletes to the European and other international championships first to gain spots at the Olympics. You can't just show up at the Olympics. The process is actually quite complicated even I don't really get it lol
he had all the roid side effects in the past, you little fuck
Bodybuildingking yeah but most olympic athletes are on roids. clarence is off-cycle atm btw
I was binging old calstrength videos and 646's upload of this came up in the recommended section- I didn't know this was in Toronto until now... That's cool as fuck!
Some say Clarence was born with that watch
OH MAN THE HANDSHAKE AT THE END! ITS GLORIOUS! ITS BEAUTIFUL!
I literally spit out my food whilst watching Clarence jerk that bar off the floor. This man's explosiveness is uncanny.
I love how humble they both are, they don't do it for ego, they do it for the love of the sport. Both are very very impressive
Spencer lost because he is not a vegan. #veganlogic
Deep Narayan if Clarence would have lost people would say, it's cuz he's vegan
So you would post the same if clarence lost and people say it's because he's a vegan right? Because that's what would happened and you know it. Moron.
Special vegan powers
xD
oh wow a vegan being triggered, that's surprising! do you also like dogs?
This is one of Omar's best vids to date. Well edited, quality, different/original; absolute great job.
Hey Omar...Find a way to prank everyone in your joint by bringing in Ilyin. You'd go off the charts man.
Epic Matchup! Thanks to all involved, it was an extremely entertaining video.
filthy frank gone STRONG
Clarence's smile is so genuine in that last shot. Makes me want to be better
spencer moorman kinda looks like jason genova
Night Owl thought the same thing lol
And a little like seth rollins too 😂
this was an awesome vid, been watching spencer for ages and seen clarence transformation vid but hearing him speak for the first time through me off massively haha. cheers Omar for the content!
0:43 must have been so awkward...
David Resendez thought they were gonna kiss.
So fun to see Clarence and Spencer lift together. Been a fan of both since forever.
Orgasmic video bro. Big respect to Spencer for coming out and of course m'lord potter for killin it once again.
Mad respect to Spencer for coming out!!
Clarence is a different breed
badass! I love that all the channels I watch on youtube come together, nicely done omar!
Is that my boi Jason Genova
Can we just respect the fact that Omar didn't add no extra bullshit when they are lifting just back to back lifts love it!!
1:44 is Spencer's leg bleeding? It could just be the 360p quality tho
Honestly I am not sure. This video took an hour to process on UA-cam and I think they fucked it up. It's been stuck at 360p for the last 30 minutes. COME ON UA-cam
He has that athletic tape stuff on his leg
sse345 yeah it's KT tape
Looks like it could be from a graston technique treatment
Its 360 quality because clarence is in it LMAO
Loved the 3-way handshake. Awesome video too!
I thought superman's name was Clark, but Clarence seems to be more appropriate kkkkk
What a great pair of guys. Thanks Omar, great vid
So you didnt name this video KENNY vs SPENNY???
Omarlsuf, great job hosting these two greatest lifters. Kudos to all three awesome lifters!
Where's that day of eating with Clarence?
Awesome video guys!! Fan from New Zealand 🇳🇿
5:53 when you see a stranger walking into your barn

Weightlifting and sports in general are so much more enjoyable when the competitors are respectful toward each other. Big "Like" !
I tried visualize doing this now my knee is bent the wrong way
One of your best videos to date, nice clip man.
@clarence0 Why use pre-workout when you can just drink a lemonade from Starbucks right?
BATTLE OF THE CENTURY!
HARRY SQUATER VS. JON THROW
Clarence Kennedy- one of the strongest vegans out there
Very nice clip, it will be super fun to see Clarance and Klokov lifting togeter,having fun and so.Cheers
Is Spencer related to Seth Rollins
Vincent Ven I hope so
I made the switch from powerlifting to weightlifting about a year ago. It is amazing how powerful higher level weightlifters are. Mind boggling.
So graceful, so beautiful
Man, this video was hella cool! The spirit and attitude of everyone involved made me smile! Such cool, positive and down to earth guys! Major motivation boost! Thanks for the content and everyone involved: Keep being cool!

Both of you are extremely powerful. Become proud of what you both have become
clarence's quads tho
Great content! The shaky cam was distracting though.
lol spencer beat clarence by 1 kilo
The Pope clarence prolly let him win lmao
The Pope That shit kinda pissed me off, but whatever ig
he just had a bad last C&J and didnt want to risk it for 1kg lol
nice video and Editing. Thx Omar
Oh shiitt batman vs superman love spence and claire
Clarence is such a legend, no knee wrap, no wrist wrap, capable of tricking, he's awesome

Lucas H not what I expected.
Lucas H no his girlfriend is just camera shy
Royce Krueger my name royce i manly i smash vagene i lift weights
Royce Krueger FYI this is weightlifting.
Great musical selection Omar.
0:45 thought they were going to kiss
I already watched this somewhere else in UA-cam wut
I just busted seeing this title💦💦
Spencers impersonation of a triangle is really impressive! (talking about his neck in the beginning of the vid) cool stuff guys
Spencer 'bar crash' moorman
Spencer Moor man than you
clarence0 roid rage calm down
Jack Dowd Wut in tarnayshon is going on here?
SPENCER BOORMAN
That has always been his main weakness in the clean and jerk, and I don't know why he's never really improved it. Getting crushed by the bar, rocked back on his heels, and having to stand from a dead start kills his clean and jerk.
Man these two lifting together looks like so much fun. God bless & greetz from Bulgarian lifters :)
THIS WAS SOOOO EPIC! Love watching spencer moorman and clarence kenndy lift in general but fuck a collab! YASSSS
Dude awesome great video! Two Freakn awesome Olympic Lifters!
Amazing sportsmanship! I love the comradeship of these athletes and the competitiveness. Hard balance to achieve!
Always fun watching guys snatch more than I squat
