      Yeah, PEDs open the door to *real* volume. Even when Clarence was at maximum dosage, I don't think he got near the tonnage of the Eastern systems. Iirc front squat volume in Poland destroyed Clarence's knees, which is why his squat looks the way it does.

    Interesting he talks about the deeper breath holds. Idk if bodybuilders or weightlifters still practice this but back in the silver era and golden era of bodybuilding, those guys used to train dumbbell pullovers for rib cage expansion and practiced deep breaths -- to the point where they could blow up those thick rubber balloons during strongman competitions. I'd imagine if one could expand their rib cage and lung capacity, they could probably get a squat PR just from that.
