Q&A Part 3 - How fast did I progress when I first started and More! 

I'm worried sick. I've replaced you with creatine and couch and I'm getting too hudge.

hahaha!

Jujimufu How did you get HGH gut at such a young age already JUJU?

Juji, please get him back! clarence0 - Go back! Better yet! Juji go to Ireland!!!!

Jujimufu You both motivate me to be stronger and have a better life style. Following you both has gotten me bigger, stronger and better with my wrestling. Thank you both, keep up the work and kill the workouts.

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...

Asura Yup. Same with sumo deadlifts. I can't stand looking at those.

Based af

El Mako sumo deadlifts looks way better imo

sumos are an exception is my opinion

Klokov "compained" about it too

yes there is some poetry in it

Well it makes sense he’s not a bodybuilder, and he’s not working out for aesthetics. He’s athlete he needs to have a specific build to do said sport

:)

Collab, would be legendary

same

You’re a beast Terron

Terron F.Beckham why not like your cousin Odell? Lol

There's me, 29, only just doing 100kg...4 years of training. What am i even doing?

@@adamg4336 not starting strength, apparently

@@oskarimagga387 Ah yes, Plateau Strength.

@@adamg4336 what are you talking about? Have you read the book? It will double your squat in 3 months EASILY. You just have to do the program, ( e. g. Eat about 4000kcal a day and sleep 8-10hrs). And it's called STARTING strength because it's not meant to be done for years. Just the first few months, until you start plateauing repeatedly.

@@adamg4336 my squat has now gone from 70kgx5 to 110kgx5 in under 7 weeks.

sNGF24 He left humanity behind. He dodn't die. RiP

No

@@noradlark167 I can bench 405 for sets of 12-15

@@FunnyFlirtTalks I do not believe you.

🤣🤣🤣

I might make a video where I test my vertical jump, 40 yard dash time, box jump, long jump etc. Since a load of people ask.

clarence0 yes!!! Please do it. We want to see ur all around athleticism. Some people think Terron can outjump u. Terron has a vertical jump of 44.5 inches. I think u can jump higher

There's no way I can even come close to that lol.

clarence0 I think you can

hes vertical would be pretty crazy by now lol, he jumped up to hes head when he was like 16 lol

John Meda 21 is young. I'm 45 and still at it.

Hey I just saw your comment. How’s oly lifting going? Care to give us an update? Genuinely curious

They’re also on a lot of juice

Starting something seriously in 18-21 year range is optimal. lmao. Quit ya whining on should of started earlier..

@@Kyzik244 Not for oly, gymnastics, swimming, athletics etc..

Yeah of course. I will definitely start making different types of videos (I'll buy a better camera and improve the editing and filming), but I'll always upload the classic training videos.

clarence0 Awesome man! Im looking forward to it.

Yay I am waiting for them to come...

Yeah, I like the classic. Your gym corner (now moved ?), almost no editing, and just adrenaline and lot of kilos. But would appreciate cooking videos, meal preparation etc. You could also post some accessories exercises a lot more and some of your rutines and warm up sets.

Cringewars

no offense but faceless would destroy you even in a strength competition, his PR squat is 320 kg, his deadlift pr is 350 kg and bench press PR is 220 kg. Endurance wise he would murder u

@dragondude30 no offence but you have no idea what you are talking about, clarence pause atg squat raw 300kg highbar, faceless does sumo deadlift and low bar squat paralell, clarence would squat 340-350 that way and clarence could deadlift like 360 without shoes and a belt conventional, the only thing clarence is weaker in is the bench, and clarence could lift prob 210-215 tradition style wide grip bounce bench, so you have no idea what you are talking about.

rubenaunet not right now he can't, if u saw a video with him in jujimufus channel. he was having trouble with 515 for 5 reps. faceless does 550 lbs for 10 reps for a warm up no joke. And faceless's conventional deadlift increased to 340 kg. i believe Clarence is much weaker now than he was before. currently I faceless would win in a strength battle

Strength Wars are for douchebags.

there's millions of those already, what would be the point? The ones made by alan thrall are legit, check those out.

there would be a huge point, clarence does all the lifts in a unconventional way , obviously he has perfect form but he lifts in a special way, lets the bench hit hes abs, shift hips and knees alot on the squat etc etc, i salute smoo7hy for making that comment, i think clarence making tutorial on all lifts would be very enjoyable and informative.

Check out Allan Thrall´s videos, or Starting Strength, even if I hate voice of Mark Rippetoe I taught so much from his tutorials, i have watched many tutorials but I think ones from Rippetoe are the best i have seen.

People recommending Alan Thrall and Mark Rippletoe to learn lifts makes my head hurt

@@nomongosinthaworld Hiiipp Dhhhhraaaiiiiveeee

99% hard work and consistently. 1% genetics.

@@BennyHendrixx 100% hard work and consistency 100% genetics. You cant deny that clarence is a freak of nature

Jacob Espinosa I think his vertical is damn near 30 inch. He's fast too. If u check out jujimoofoo videos, that raced and he beat juji bare in high grass

WEWARD yea I'm sure it's dropped off a bit. But still . 30+ is super impressive even for an athlete honestly

Tom Williams No, 30 isn’t elite at all. Clarence tested his vert on camera it looked over 40”, if anything he only lost 5 inches MAX so he must be 35”+

There's a old video somewhere where clarence does a 40 inch vertical. The title was him squatting somewhere in 200kg range and he was 81kg if I remember correctly.

Tom Williams my vert is 31" so his is definitely 40+

Half Irish

@@baw5xc333 what's the other half?

@Bass Enhanced Metal some type of asian. If I had to guess I’d say Japanese.

@@baw5xc333 I thought you were saying his other half was enhanced metal, which, honestly, I would have believed no questions asked.

@@baw5xc333 half Filipino

Wrong lol

i think ur overthinking it, just eat healthy

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

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.

Hard training will drive your test and gh levels up.

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)

Current bench?

Same, a lot with a 500lbs high bar squat and 315 power Clean (and jerk)

approximately 3-5 months

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

@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.

@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.

@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

oh and i went vegan bc of u

clarence0 which book about training would you recommend?

Olympic Weightlifting: A Complete Guide for Athletes & Coaches

Thank you very much, Clarence

David look at one of his live streams

message me on instagram and il send you them, couldnt find the video,rubenscott

he said it before. he is not stretching very often! he doesn't need it!

Pause squats

Troll elsewhere

The answer requires me to write an essay.

Clarence with you right a an essay on steroid use.

I'm sure many people would love to hear your opinions! Please consider it if you have the time.

Θανάσης Γκαζόζας you absolutely have to stretch. Foam rolling also helps a lot. I used to do 5x5 (it's 3 days a week) and on the other 4 days I just did 30-60 mins foam rolling and stretching. Also did stretching before and after a workout. Foam rolling before my workouts were a must for good form. Cheers

diyar dino I'm also doing 5x5 at the moment. Should I foam rolling just once a week for 30 minutes , or foam rolling every other day for 30 minutes ?

Sorry dude. I'm raw drug free powerlifter and it works for me. Have you ever tried it before do any talking?

i think he ment gear as in not raw IMO, not drugs.

rubenaunet yes but it works for raw lifters as well. All my brothers including me have been doing it for 3 years straight with only three deload weeks in a year. Big 3 goes up to decent amount, at least faster than linear/DUP periodisation. IMO

Da' Beetus Cat You are very wrong

Depends on how you run Bulgarian tbh As long as you aren't grinding and doing true maxes every single day it's pretty possible.

lol no... he would definetly not win gold. he is 105 kg class

The snatch and the clean are pulls. I believe he also does rear delt flyes when he's benching.

they are yes.

a friend of mine does calisthenics, and squats and ohp in the gym with me, his body responds pretty good to that, his body is pretty symetrical and nice looking, not really that big but he is pretty lean so it looks good.

rows my friend

u dont really need them to build a complete back doe.. u can use pullups to that, cause thats whats he is asking for, but yes. if he was training in the gym only i would include heavy cheatrows and yates rows too.

hello your rear delts, mid traps and rhomboids called they missed you

As a beginner/intermediate? Definitely not.

damn, i guess i should give up powerlifting and just stick with oly lifting

or bench twice a week

Define "enough".

clarence put up a 3-4x bench a week for me, the more you do the lift the better really, overtraining is kinda bs as long as you dont overload each workout.

That's not bulgarian method. Bulgarian method has extreme frequency, often twice a day for 6 days straight. Low reps but heavy AF. If you can only workout 3 days a week then i'd suggest more reps/volume cus with this workout schedule you'll only get fat lel. Low strength and muscle gains.

Pete Murphy Second pull first then jump minimally vertical, keep the bar close and get it weightless, then pull yourself under it. Differentiate between the deadlift off the floor. That should be steady then the speed on the bar goes way up as the bar passes knee height.

he has answered this before, he told me he never would compete in it, he also said he isnt fit enough for it imo, its more cardio than strength based.

rubenaunet whAT video did he say that in

i think facebook? pm?

google stronglifts 5x5 and start doing that program and eat ALOT.

Just a shitty one from argos
