      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...

    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!

    I do low bar squats more for comfort and current flexibility. Right now I'm doing weightlifting more to fix that.

    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!

      @stevena8719 7 лет назад

      I had a 455lbs squat and a 515lbs deadlift. To total 200kg (110/90) took 2 months .

    • @RustyIsScared

      @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.

    • @PoppyMusica
      @PoppyMusica 7 лет назад

      @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.

    • @RustyIsScared
      @RustyIsScared 7 лет назад +3

      @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

    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.)

    • @RustyIsScared
      @RustyIsScared 7 лет назад +9

      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

    • @Ozzy200292
      @Ozzy200292 7 лет назад +4

      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 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?

    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 !
