@@IncorrectOpinion2 most weightlifters have really quad dominant/upright torso technique, while powerlifters have more hip dominant technique, where the knee joint doesn’t close all the way. What I like about Clarence’s squat is that he fully flexes both joints- calves to hamstrings, knees to chest- like he physically can’t go any deeper
Wtf. He has to be on low doses then. Naturally he would be stronger at 27 than at 18. If he just kept natty lifting and gaining a few pounds he would obviously be very close to his current enhanced numbers.. Absolute freak
@@jakesimpson8952 probably not as much as you'd think, though. 267.5 kg is a TON of weight.

I think the best he could've achieved natty would've been like 275 kg. That's excellent, much better than most can ever achieve, but it's not the insanity that some people would think he'd be capable of. A good sign that he had gained his strength about as fast as he possible could've, other than his young age then, is the injuries he suffered as a result.

first video was uploaded jun 9th 2012, 2nd was uploaded jan 21st 2021. so 8 1/2 years elapsed between those two. i assume you started taking gear around late 2014 - early 2015. maybe after going to junior euro championships or Training in Poland. i say so not only because your squat went up quite a lot, but because; from a video uploaded Jan 22, 2015, you weighed 95kg, and on a video uploaded Mar 8, 2015, you gained 5kg to weigh 100kg. your hair also got noticably thinner from early 2014 to early 2015. overall i appreciate and admire your honesty for being open about the realitys of PED in this sport. no one can knock you for that. i certainly cant, knowing that you were stronger as a 18 year old kid than i was when i took P.E.Ds it aint braggin if you can do it
@@Ahab_786 At 10:26 in 15 years of training video it pops up 2015, next clip is him literally cycling and then a quote "suspicious". When it was released someone pointed it out and he confirmed in the comments.
With most people it's a little hard to tell how much of a boost they got from gear since there could be any number of factors that affected their lifts. Maybe their training sucked, maybe their diet never changed, maybe they didn't try hard enough, etc. But since Clarence is clearly a guy who has maxed out on genetics, technique, experience and effort, and made intelligent steps to get better in every factor, and on top of that he trained for a long ass time before using gear - he poses an excellent subject example for how much gear can improve your numbers. I believe Clarence's top single for a squat is 306kgs? So in other words, gear made him around 15% stronger. A significant number for sure (and maybe a little woolly still) but not as much as some people seem to think. In other words, steroids won't fix a weak mindset.
@@xThirdOpsx Both wrong. 310kg is his max PAUSE squat. In his own words, he's 'never maxed out his regular squat.' My best pause backsquat is a little under 90% of my touch and go. Applying similar logic to Clarence, his regular squat could easily be as high as 330+. That'd mean well over 20% strength gains from gear usage, which I think everyone could say is pretty significant at already big numbers.
@Jaofwg 10 reps is pretty unreliable for calculation. I've hit 180kg for 10 on the backsquat, which estimates my max as 240kg. My tested max is only 227kg. At the very least, I'd say Clarence is hitting at least 10% more than his best pause backsquat, which would be in the region of 340-345kg, with sleeves and a belt. As you say, that's still probably in the realm of 30% more from gear usage and basic equipment.
I’ve been watching tons of Clarence videos lately and last night found a comment thread where some kid refused to believe Clarence ever used gear, then today he posts this 😂 absolute legend
Love this guy, last 2 yrs he been motivating my 46yr old body to powerlift and do crazy Taekwondo flips and kicks. I even copied his breathing and grunt, dat ish was instant +10 on the lifts. When I take lifting more seriously, I’ll sign up with his program

You don't need to eat healthy to get stronger. In fact, an ultra-clean diet makes it much more difficult to build strength. Pizza and beer is actually great for you if your goals are purely strength related. (as long as it's not too much beer).
This is some motivational stuff right here! Ill consider myself successful with my lifting if i can ever achieve over a 200kg squat natty let alone what you have clarence!🤘💪
200kg is doable for average genes and above. I hit 200kg natty while still pretty lean as well. If i bulked up could have hit more obviously. Just keep lifting on decent programs, eat your meals and youll hit 200kg. You gotta be very serious about it for years tho
@@user-zz5og2lf7p After 10 years of consistent lifting maybe. I know people who lift that long and are stuck arround 170 kg (at 85 BW). 200 kg squat if you weight bellow 100 kg is very advanced and hard to achieve.
Huge respect, I've been watching your stuff for years! My best low bar back squat natty was 250kg at about 92kg bodyweight and it was a grind! Enhanced, I can rep that no problem BUT I'm not sure about yourself I really don't find that the majority of gear does all that much for strength past a certain point but it does enhance body composition. I've never felt more inflamed, tired and sore than now when enhanced and I actually feel like when I was natty I could train harder and just general didn't feel as shitty. All the best from a fellow vegan gym nut (vegan since 2017!).
Progress under enhancement is enhanced. Which is why people now who say they are currently natty, like rubish, technically aren't. They got their new prs and numbers while enhanced and once you've learned a skill the first time it is easier to regain. So if you've accelerated training years and volume while enhanced, even if you are currently natty your numbers are not natural.
@@finestnostalgia "wat" do You not understand? It's very simple when you are on gear for meaningfull amount of time and then you stop taking gear YOU ARE NOT Natty.
I could cycle everything under the sun, have the most elite trainers program and coach me, and prob wouldn't be able to do his natty numbers like that. Nothing short of Captain America's super steroids could get me there. Mf is strong asf.
Love the thumb nail with the “ENHANCED” part having creatine 😂 Love this. One of the few lifters to come out and say things as they are. It matters to be truthful. Right Lu Xiao?
Respect, if you can squat around 3x your body weight, you're free to hop on gear in my opinion. A lot better that some fitness influencers that grab steroids, as soon as they can bench 100kg.
Clarence is a one in a million+ example of perfect genetics for athleticism and strength as evidenced by his tricking and coordination at a young age, near perfect biomechanics for oly lifting, world class level mental discipline, and a solid all around healthy attitude. Many people could grind as long as he has with half the results, yet I'm still stoked for him as an example to others. He also probably has the most nuanced and realistic view towards being natural versus enhanced of anyone, so he obviously is incredibly gifted in the intelligence department as well.
guess i v never trained to failure, after watching this video i may have realized. this is ultra impressive. how i always did was never pause between a rep and other, but trying to pushing reps as much i could till kinda half repping\baby repping due to muscle not being able to litterally do anything. i guess i start doing also what Clarence is doing in this video, after kinda "collapsing" , going for a short breath pause to try another rep, like what he is doing in this video. really thank you to cleared my mind
@@mastertrey4683 no no not get me wrong, i am absolutely mad impressed by his REAL training to failure, never seen any video so much using the phrase "training to failure" to that max level. i was not sarcastic, english is not my main as u may see . i do wonder how many seconds you must rest after such an impressive training to failure like in this video, 5 minutes? why yes o?

Huge respect, I've been watching your stuff for years! My best low bar back squat natty was 250kg at about 92kg bodyweight and it was a grind! Enhanced, I can rep that no problem BUT I'm not sure about yourself I really don't find that the majority of gear does all that much for strength past a certain point but it does enhance body composition. I've never felt more inflamed, tired and sore than now when enhanced and I actually feel like when I was natty I could train harder and just general didn't feel as shitty. All the best from a fellow vegan gym nut (vegan since 2017!).

This is why Clarence is the nr.1 gym content creator.
Endless amounts of respect.
I´m 21. BW 82kg and max squat 160kg. I wanna see how far I can get as a natty. This comment section will be my journal:
Its over bro. i squatted 200kg at 20,same bodyweight. Clarence squatted 265kg at 18 years old and also sround 85kg bodyweight.
@@user-zz5og2lf7p how much does clarence weigh rn
Weren’t you like 18 or 19 when you squatted that first squat? It’s not just natural vs enhanced, it’s also the timeframe in which you made progress.
Progress under enhancement is enhanced. Which is why people now who say they are currently natty, like rubish, technically aren't. They got their new prs and numbers while enhanced and once you've learned a skill the first time it is easier to regain. So if you've accelerated training years and volume while enhanced, even if you are currently natty your numbers are not natural.
@@thicccboyztv wat
@@finestnostalgia "wat" do You not understand?
It's very simple when you are on gear for meaningfull amount of time and then you stop taking gear YOU ARE NOT Natty.
True, I 100% agree.
70% of your natty peak is my lifetime goal. You are a beast
That’s an insane amount of weight bro . That’s so amazing
Wait, did he legit squat 262 as a natty?
At 18 yrs old no less
its very possible, but to do it at that young age and weight is commendable
I really don't think so
In both cases every woman present within a three mile radius got instantly pregnant. Different route to basically same results here Clarence.
test only? what dosage? biggest differences you felt when switching to enhanced?
I don't think it's reasonable to expect him to disclose this kind of information publicly.
What was your Bodyweight in the first clip
A great cardio session with 265kg.
😂😂👌
I could cycle everything under the sun, have the most elite trainers program and coach me, and prob wouldn't be able to do his natty numbers like that. Nothing short of Captain America's super steroids could get me there. Mf is strong asf.
Your strength is other worldly
He wasn't squatting the bar. He was pushing the planet away.
Fuck discrete math time to watch Clarence squat😊
Hello fellow math nerd!
@@LucasDimoveo math is good but Clarence squats gooder
@@LucasDimoveo Hello!
Fuck discrete math in general
same but diffeq
Clarence, how much did enhanced training help recover your knee injury?
a lot
I haven't lifted in 5 years. I can barely squat 2 plates right now, how do I get my squat to 5 plates fast?
Love the thumb nail with the “ENHANCED” part having creatine 😂
Love this. One of the few lifters to come out and say things as they are. It matters to be truthful.
Right Lu Xiao?
Respect, if you can squat around 3x your body weight, you're free to hop on gear in my opinion. A lot better that some fitness influencers that grab steroids, as soon as they can bench 100kg.
It pays to take drugs dude nobody is going to care about a bird chest natty benching 100kg
How much time between those 2 though? Is it the result of 1 month on enhancements or there is like 5 years of training with enhancements?
Curious about that too. If it was years apart, I'm curious what his natural potential would have been relative to the enhanced set depicted
5 years difference, around 3 of which were enhanced
@@BO2Letsplay Thank you , would have been greater if it was at least only the 3 years enhanced part difference.
I agree, definitely some enhanced resolution on the second clip
Clarence is a one in a million+ example of perfect genetics for athleticism and strength as evidenced by his tricking and coordination at a young age, near perfect biomechanics for oly lifting, world class level mental discipline, and a solid all around healthy attitude. Many people could grind as long as he has with half the results, yet I'm still stoked for him as an example to others. He also probably has the most nuanced and realistic view towards being natural versus enhanced of anyone, so he obviously is incredibly gifted in the intelligence department as well.
Can you explain how to squat atg with a bad knee?
Any idea what dates these videos were taken on? Helps with the comparison
4-5 years apart maybe
I love at the end how he drops it off his back and just collapses. Now that is a set.
guess i v never trained to failure, after watching this video i may have realized.
this is ultra impressive.
how i always did was never pause between a rep and other, but trying to pushing reps as much i could till kinda half repping\baby repping due to muscle not being able to litterally do anything.
i guess i start doing also what Clarence is doing in this video, after kinda "collapsing" , going for a short breath pause to try another rep, like what he is doing in this video.
really thank you to cleared my mind
Thats not wrong either, it keeps tension on the quads
@@mastertrey4683 no no not get me wrong, i am absolutely mad impressed by his REAL training to failure, never seen any video so much using the phrase "training to failure" to that max level.
i was not sarcastic, english is not my main as u may see .
i do wonder how many seconds you must rest after such an impressive training to failure like in this video, 5 minutes? why yes
o?
@@mastertrey4683 time under tension is no where near as important as getting more reps, tension isnt how the muscle grows its contracting and stretching it through its full range
Only the squatter knows how brave was that when he’s doing one more rep with almost 8-9 fatigue perception.
How old were you during the natty video?
Always have de doubt of how much he squat when he was natty. Amazing video.
He is really unique athlete.
+ How many years of training experience?
