Sorenkhanizio He didn't say that he was in the 94 kg category,he said that he attempted a lift that was the record in that weight category .. he probably knows that clarence is 105 kg ... it's so impressive tho
somefobe you know that they only use straps to save their hands? im sure you have heard of hookgrip right? its what all olympic lifters use and it doesnt require "grip strength" at all, but doing multiple lifts and all your warmups this way will shred your hands
OBJECTION! Heavy lifters don't steal all the plates because they increase the weight in big increments, unlike sub180snatch scrubs who grab all the 10's and 15's pounds plates from the gym for that sickening 300lbs deadlift
whats it like being strong?...like this kind of strong...do you have to carefully open your car door? do you have to plan out when u hug someone so u dont crack their sternum???....
I've known your channel from waaaaaaaaay back (atleast 5-6 years I think) and what is even more impressive than the lifts you put up (which are impressive AF, don't get me wrong :D) is that you are still frequently uploading and maintaining an awesome channel.
sickening video clarence, you have that pull. the next last attempt was VERY close. anyways your strong as fuck, consistent gains dont come that easly on ur stage imo. i want to thank you alot for all the motivation you give me and others, you are very inspirational clarence! ive seriously started to eat healthy the last week now, for 10min ago i ate 400g spinach. all because of you man. thank you so much, keep doing what you doing, ul get that snatch next time bro;D
Man you got this! It was so damm close and this is like world record material. I am curious to see if you will get it after this more powerlifitng cycle you are going through. Thanks for the inspiration man! Really cool to see you try so hard, makes me want to try even harder!
i'm surprised there aren't sports labels knocking at your door offering sponsorship (or maybe they are?), though I like the cargo pants and plain tees, it's almost the complete opposite to the mainstream narcissism in other fitness/lifting channels.
I get a bunch of messages on facebook offering me free supplements/clothing in exchange for me to advertise their compnay on my channel. I always refuse because I barely take any supplements, already own clothes and most importantly, I think it's an unfair deal because I get 60,000+ views on most of my videos. They would benefit much more than I would.
clarence0 retarded nutrition and gymgear companies actually expect this kind of exposure for a few protein shakes or t-shirts... man they need to re-evaluate their marketing strats lmao
Dude, Katatonia in the last video, Soen in this one, is that your choice of music or just what was on in the gym at that time? Excellent choices either way!
Absolutely increadible, that feeling wen u almost got it but it punches u down again and again. Haha u have created a zone where nothing else matters is just the bar and u . Absolutely increadible
you lifting is a massive inspiration to me and i think your technique is excellent, but what is that loud clicking noise when you hit the bottom of your squat? is it your knee?
Quick question for you, Clarence. Why do you wear straps (at least for your snatches) when going for maximal loads ? Just curious as to your thought process on this.
Heavy weights and slamming. Awesome! Im Irish and look a bit like Clarence. Somehow dont think all Irish have these strength levels. At 202 lbs today deadlift 485x2 with straps, front squatted 265x2, alas im 45 soon though. Bench 500x10 Clarence! Low bar squat 700x5! Do it!
Sorry to ask this but where do you live Clarence, Could you give any tips to help to get a better mobility in the squat position and a few pointers on snatch form, peace out
Clarence, I am an older lifter. 45. I started crossfit and olympic lifting at 41. Prior to that just bodybuilding stuff (can you say never locking out movements, never working core muscles and stabilization, etc...I cringe when I think back to doing that stuff for decades). During the first 2-3 years of crossfit, I made all the typical older male crossfit mistakes (poor front rack position, butt wink, unable to properly lock out overhead (horrible lower trap activation and horrible overhead lockout ability, rounded back deadlifts, overhead squats with a 45 degree torso, elbow tightness leading to only partial arm lockouts, pullups and kips without tight/neutral torso, wrist inflexiblity, etc...yet I kept increasing the weight despite all this--dumbass). Anyway, I had to rehab everything. (I had 2 shoulder surgeries (in left and right), massive lumbar disc herniation, left wrist ganglion cyst, all in an 18 month period. I was so stupidly obsessive about training, I kept at it and got to where at times i couldn't sleep from the shoulder pain, and I couldn't sit from the butt and leg pain. Psychologic obsessiveness to something can be brutal, i've learned this the hard way). I have now done hundreds, if not thousands, hours of rehab exercises and stretching. Now I am almost pain free and my mobility is to the point now where I can safely do this stuff. Here is what I want to tell you, along the way, I've watched so much olympic lifting, all via instagram and you tube. The knowledgable info on the internet, as well as physical therapists, have taught me so much. (Dan Pope, Mark Rippletoe, Power Monkey Fitness, Gymnastic Bodies, ROMWOD, GMB fitness, etc...Orthopedic docs, not so much). I think I've earned the right to bash some of the orthopods (the ones I personally saw, they just didn't address poor physical mechanics), because I'm an MD myself. I want to tell you though...I would compare watching your videos to watching Rocky movies when I was a kid. YOUR JERK, CLEAN, AND SNATCH TECHNIQUES ARE INCREDIBLE. I have been copying your style as much as possible and it has made a HUGE difference in my lifts. THANK YOU. EVERYONE HERE IS RIGHT, YOU WOULD MAKE AN INCREDIBLE COACH. If you haven't considered a career in teaching others (olympic weightlifting certification, Physical Therapist, orthopedic surgeon, etc...), please do. You honestly have a gift and you have the potential to help thousands of people. Your videos already are. Sorry if am sounding preachy or like a know it all, I just thought it may be helpful to hear from someone older who has learned everything by making massive mistakes first. Please keep up the inspirational work. I sincerely thank you for inspiring all of us.
Clarence, since I am Bulgarian I was just wondering: do you have a favorite Bulgarian lifter such as let's say Georgi Markov or Zlatan Vanev, or Galabin Boevski etc. ?
that would be cool, although winning is not guaranteed, the only way would be having at least 2 lifts which he is used to do otherwise he could be fucked.
brunoduff He made a Q&A where he addressed stretching and mobility and he basically doesn't really do it. He says it's only necessary to do if you can't get into the right positions for the olympic movements, but he also emphasized that he is not the end authority when it comes to mobility and stretching. There are a lot of people who know more about this subject and there are a lot of people who require extensive stretching before exercise.

*attempts 94kg world record snatch
*calls it scrap footage
Barely any 105s snatch 190!
Ye true, i snatch 220 with straps but only 80 without straps...
He was most likely over 100kg here though.
Sorenkhanizio He didn't say that he was in the 94 kg category,he said that he attempted a lift that was the record in that weight category .. he probably knows that clarence is 105 kg ... it's so impressive tho

Clarence is the most natural croissant.
with no bacon, egg, or cheese 😏
Everybody hates going to the gym when Clarence is there. Why? Because there's no plates left
really good one
thanks, i'm a standup comedian on my freetime in the youtube comments
OBJECTION! Heavy lifters don't steal all the plates because they increase the weight in big increments, unlike sub180snatch scrubs who grab all the 10's and 15's pounds plates from the gym for that sickening 300lbs deadlift
Fuck plates... the main reason is because people feel like it's their firts training ever.
do you type your comments standing up?
what anime is this
Dbol Z
clarence0 upvotes to Clarence for being honest about his gear!

Clorox Bleach bro you comment on every fkn video lmaoooo
mellobrah i've seen him comment on every genre of youtube. I watch a video, go down into the comment section and there he is
Clarence never hugs. He is an unfeeling hydraulic press. However, he is also vegan, so yk, take that with a grain of… chalk…
Hi (sorry for my bad english)
sorry for my bed england*
Cancer
brunoduff (First of all sorry for my bad english ) Secondly , I luv coacks 💜

Clarence will soon snatch 180kg while doing a trick mid air. no joke.....
190kg
You truly are an inspiration, Clarence. Keep doing what you do.
I've known your channel from waaaaaaaaay back (atleast 5-6 years I think) and what is even more impressive than the lifts you put up (which are impressive AF, don't get me wrong :D) is that you are still frequently uploading and maintaining an awesome channel.
Clarence is a real inspiration. His effort and enthusiasm are tremendous. I have heard about him before but now I believe since I have seen.
May God Bless You Clarence It is always a pleasure to watch your videos It helps inspire me to keep on Training No Matter What
always enjoy watching your channel keep up the good work
Thanks for blessing my night, honestly
sickening video clarence, you have that pull. the next last attempt was VERY close. anyways your strong as fuck, consistent gains dont come that easly on ur stage imo. i want to thank you alot for all the motivation you give me and others, you are very inspirational clarence! ive seriously started to eat healthy the last week now, for 10min ago i ate 400g spinach. all because of you man. thank you so much, keep doing what you doing, ul get that snatch next time bro;D
He probably make it on the same day, just uploaded it 5 years later
I'm so glad Clarence is posting again
Man you got this! It was so damm close and this is like world record material. I am curious to see if you will get it after this more powerlifitng cycle you are going through. Thanks for the inspiration man! Really cool to see you try so hard, makes me want to try even harder!
clarence your the fucking man. you make we wanna be a better weightlifter everyday. thanks for the inspiration dude.
I just started with these movements,but as I can see,u are master.Hats off :)
I love the comment sections of Clarence's videos so much.
ol I spent a good time reading his old comments arguing with haters... that was pretty funny to read... too bad they're now gone for some reason
I'm surprised there is still a floor in that building after all these years Clarence has been training there
More suprised the building is still standing
More surprised Ireland hasn't sunk
More surprised that tectonic plates don't collide.
What's ironic is the gym is on the second floor of the church
The second to last attempt was sooooooo close! You'll get it soon enough, man.
The day u hit that 418 snatch Clarence, I'm ditching work to celebrate ! 😃
Absolutely incredible discipline, form, and control.
i actually watch all your adds. im listening to your vids while gyming
Every time im not motivated i come straight to this channel! haha
man the continued attempts at the end were brutal - hard core.
BRAAAPPP!!!!!
most underrated guy on youtube and down to urt no less
Man, your form and speed off the ground is insane!
nice man!! I see you getting 190kg real soon
love the heavy metal music in your gym mate
13 min Clarence video...les go!!
Keep at it clarence stay with olympic lifting you will be the greatest lifter alive.
Clarence: that's f*cking scary sh*t. Hahahaha!
Video was entertaining man, keep training hard!!
Yo…the repping of 562on squats…I’ve never seen ANYONE go that low. And he got the nerve to take a pause down there! Dude, you are crazy strong! 👍🏿👍🏿💪🏿
Epic fuckin battle, and that is a effin understatement of this year.
i'm surprised there aren't sports labels knocking at your door offering sponsorship (or maybe they are?), though I like the cargo pants and plain tees, it's almost the complete opposite to the mainstream narcissism in other fitness/lifting channels.
yeah, it's refreshing to not see a white monster, starbucks coffee, zara-too-skinny-ripped-jeans and a stupid MVMT watch laden fitness video.

Awesome stuff!!!
Dude ok really no BS anymore why are you able to do this? Was your father a werewolf?
daved1113 hard work and genetics
+/pol/sp404 and one more thing ;)
creatine ;)
daved1113 good genes, consistent proper training, control of other variables (like sleeping, eating, etc.), and pharmaceuticals.
Top Lad Nigel, well said.
Gonna watch this video later, but went ahead and liked it now because let's be real.... how can you not?
Everything is old in this gym - even the music. I Love it
True TOP G of weightlifting
Damn Clarence! I catching up....I'm only 100kg behind you.
LOL!!
good lord that second to last attempt was SO close
That 190 is all mental, you got it.
Dude, Katatonia in the last video, Soen in this one, is that your choice of music or just what was on in the gym at that time? Excellent choices either way!
You did it !
This GUY Is a BEAST !!!
You almost had it man holy crap!!!
Hi Clarence, at what weight do you need to use straps? (Just to set a goal for myself to work towards). You inspire me greatly btw
clerence should do more training in gyms with regular people lol i love seeing them freak out
I hear Soen and Katatonia in the background!
nice taste, dude
Absolutely increadible, that feeling wen u almost got it but it punches u down again and again. Haha u have created a zone where nothing else matters is just the bar and u . Absolutely increadible
Do you have any tips for doing full squat cleans? My clean max is 112kg and I can never get low due to knee and hip discomfort. Thanks
Get a safepass Clarence.. I know a few building sites that are looking for Labourers who could potentially overhead press a scaffolding..
In case you lot wanted to know the song at 0:30 is boten anna - basshunter
you lifting is a massive inspiration to me and i think your technique is excellent, but what is that loud clicking noise when you hit the bottom of your squat? is it your knee?
I luv watching clorence musclees grow stronk
Wayy to fight bro!! Keep it up you actually alrdy have it... 200kg is coming soon!!
What are you and how did you get to this planet?
This was so cool to watch
at 12:30 i got so hyped for a sec man cant wait till you smash it!!
This guy throws around my max bench... Over his head.... WTF....
I would be damn happy if that was my max bench...
i would be happy if that was my deadlift
bro Jerk is easier than Bench
easier? lmao
Nervanah yes, for example he clean and jerked 220 kg but benched 20 kilo less
the way he bails out of the lift when he cant do it is also great to see. Alot of people would snap their shit up bailing out of a snatch.
watched the attempts in slow motion. much more satisfying.
Does anybody know if clarence directly train his arms ? Also does he do pull-ups ?
When's the collab with m'lord
entitled to it
It collabening
Quick question for you, Clarence. Why do you wear straps (at least for your snatches) when going for maximal loads ? Just curious as to your thought process on this.

Bench 500x10 Clarence! Low bar squat 700x5! Do it!
Sorry to ask this but where do you live Clarence, Could you give any tips to help to get a better mobility in the squat position and a few pointers on snatch form, peace out
best workout music ever!
The world of Olympic lifting is better because of this man.
You had that at 12:30, some slight nuance aside. Question, what's the time difference between your last evening workout and going to bed?
fantastic technique
You seem to jump to the left a bit in the transition but your technique is practicly perfect.
I've been trying to figure out what that song at 2:00 is for weeks now. I still can't find it? Help.
The sound of his shoes and the weights hitting the floor are weirdly too satisfying
How is this guy not famous ? He is amazingly strong !!! Does anyone know if he has competed ?
I liked before watching :).
Clarence, how much weight or poundage have you put into your body/total since becoming plant based?
Clarence, I am an older lifter. 45. I started crossfit and olympic lifting at 41.

I sincerely thank you for inspiring all of us.
Clarence: Any upcoming projects that you´re planning? Or just training for the lolz?
So freaking explosive.
I have always wondered. is that a watch on your right wrist or one of those balance bracelet things
Respect for playing Basshunter - Boten Anna at 0:30.
Clarence, since I am Bulgarian I was just wondering: do you have a favorite Bulgarian lifter such as let's say Georgi Markov or Zlatan Vanev, or Galabin Boevski etc. ?
Strength lift ( clean and jerk ) before technique lift ( snatch ). Everything makes sense when Clarence does it ;)
U should go to Strength Wars....and take on the Faceless.
that would be cool, although winning is not guaranteed, the only way would be having at least 2 lifts which he is used to do otherwise he could be fucked.
Nah, this is only for the beeeach
ITS NINJA TYLER CNTS
Take on faceless but they should do Olympic lifts ;)
Daniel Nathanson lol get them doing Olympic lifts and clearance will beat him
Nice t-shirt man
Teacher of thy snatch🏋
i hear some cracking on your squats, were those your knees?, do you deal with knee pain?
beautiful lifts.
what camera do you use for all your footage clarence?
that was a nice battle with that 190. next time
This guy could make a tutorial or give tips for stretching/mobility.
brunoduff He made a Q&A where he addressed stretching and mobility and he basically doesn't really do it.

he said he doesnt do much of these
edge21str that's my case haha thanks for the info
It's been months, now. Still can't find the song at 2:03. Running low on supplies. Morale is severely depleted.
