Honestly if i were there, I would literally drop my workout and see all the lifts, without feeling any embarrassment. This is pure art. This is the peak.
Same thought. Can’t see how you can just go about your workout as an average human oblivious... I suppose they don’t understand the level of world beating performance this was
Lol considering how no one is really paying attention. I’d be fucking laser focused on him. He’s lifting weights that could possibly medal him in the olympics
After years of watching Clarence lift, I can officially say I deadlift as much as he c&j's...hit 515 Friday. The fact that there are people who can put that over their heads is honestly astounding💀
I hit 405 raw and lost motivation for squatting heavy cuz my deadlift and bench where so behind. Still got it but when I deadlift gives me more strength on my squat. I just never went above 405 cuz the racks at this gym unadjustable and I don't want to end up on gym fail vid. I'm also 6'3 so I don't want to fuck my knee health tryna squat to much weight.
@@x2lazy2die he competes at 93 kg. He’s around 100 kg hit cuts down to 93 for competitions. Not that he competes anymore because Ireland has terrible support for weightlifting athletes.
@@muhtadaali8847 Yes but he's also not clean so it wouldn't stand as a world record. He's not come out to admit it but he's never denied it either and he jokes about it sometimes. He's just a dude that enjoys big lifts, PED use or not he's a guys I respect.
For anyone curious how much rest Clarence took between his last 2 snatch sets, it was 7 minutes looking at the clock. I always wondered how much rest is taken on v heavy olympic lifts
Lasha could literally walk into a commercial gym, Clean and Jerk 260kg and next to him would be a dude curling 25kg in a squat rack with a belt not knowing what he just witnessed. The reason for that is the overwhelming majority of people in a gym don't lift anything over 120KG in any compound movement so they've no clue how difficult it is to be strong. An even bigger majority does not have any clue what a snatch or clean and jerk is. And I met maybe 2 people other than myself who follow olympic weightlifting at all and know how hard even a 100kg snatch is if you perform it with proper technique.
Damn, that's super impressive! Here I am just starting to heal from chronic sciatica. I can barely lift 20 pounds, being healthy is the most important thing to me now, I have a new perspective on life, not money anymore etc... Hope everyone here stays/gets healthy!
Imagine not stopping for even just 10 seconds in a gym to watch someone Cj your fucking dream backsquat. Gotta love normie gyms. Edit: to be clear stopping and watching wouldn’t be done just so you can be mirin’ (which we all would). It’s common practice in WL gyms to stop lifting and be silent while someone is attempting s big lift and then cheer on your fellow lifters. HOWEVER, this is just a normie gym so those rules dont apply. I just thought it was funny.
Might seem like everyone isnt watching him but hard to miss a 220 pound behemoth throwing 400 pounds in the sky sounding like a tank engine wondering if this is the weight that'll crush him flat. They're definitely using the Jedi art of looking while not looking.
Going back to this from the 2021 Olympics. If Clarence competed in 96kg category he would have done 8 kg more than the first place (which was still enough for Olympic record). Clarence is just nuts.
I've noticed that Clarence seems to have an extra 1-2 reps in the tank on all his sets that most people otherwise wouldn't have. I show these videos to my family and try to explain how insane these lifts are. I'm sure plenty of others do the same thing lol.
So yesterday I saw some guy doing C+J in my commercial gym and had to check the plates 3 or 4 times..... 3 reds and a yellow for 200kg total!!! Someone mentioned his name and that he had a RUclips channel so here I am..... Absolutely incredible to see in real life!! Looked surprisingly small for someone throwing such insane weight about. Packing some serious muscle of course especially the shoulders but unless you saw it you'd never think he could move such huge weights. 100% respect!!!
There is something pure and artistic about what Clarence does, that impresses far more than the limited- range- of- motion, ego driven drivel you see with other youtube fitness/workout content producers. Here is a guy who has built his body from the ground up from a young age, who is humble about his abilities, and on par with olympic level lifters. That is the rarest of things.
The last snatch Clarence just walks over to the guy while holding the dude's max total over his head and all "hello, do you have a moment to speak about our Lord and savior, me?"
I love that you just walks into a regular gym for regular folks and just rips 225 from the ground like its nothing. Im in shock how little people react to your BIG lifts in the gym man. Stay strong. peace
@@hauntedpenguinhideaway I would have ignored it as a joke had he not written "bodybuilder" in his comment. People write anything these days, and when someone points out.....it's a joke.

had the same fkng thought, If I see that many red pancakes overhead, I just rest for the day and enjoy the show
dont want to be showcased in that next mirin video
for real after every lift i looked at the people in the gym, i dont think any of them understood what was going on lol
If you look closely some of them are mirin in secret. The girls on the bike sneak a peek at the 496
imagine warming up for front squats and you turn around to see a guy running at you holding 185 kg over his head
Clarence’s hair line tells me that he’s getting quite near to reaching god hood.
Imagine the lifts once the old man strength kicks in
Or the side effects of juice are starting to set in. Not hating or anything, the dude is a genetic beast regardless
That last lift is underrated. Its not just a clean. It's a CLEANWALK
