Clarence doesn't have the stats he does because of superhuman freak genetics, but rather from flexibility and proper form. Look at the sheer amount of mass he has on his lower back. Sedentary people who attempt to become powerlifters overnight never develop in that way. I can pull 405 but my lower back above my hips is literally skin and bone.
So what the fuck can we do about it? How to engage those muscles without high bar atg back squats 7 days a week? Say if you have an injury or you're too tight or whatever. I've been lying flat on my back and raising my hips off the ground without using my glutes and getting some success doing that, just wondering what the rest of you had figured out.
yeah. the admitted steroid use is probably not a factor at all.
Cameron Russell
Clarence has great genes and is on gear, you dumb fuck.
Adam Taylor
For comparison you can see juji on the left here, has decent lifts but again lacking that lower back mass because of lowbar squats and deadlifting for ego reasons. I'm not saying clarence has bad genes and I'll believe he roids, that still doesn't account for a fucking 750 pull you mongol retards. I could roid and dreamer bulk for 20 years I wouldn't pull 750 as athletically as him. Is Veeky Forums just a containment board or what? I'm asking some reasonable shit here.
Nathan Baker
>genetics and steroids don't account for a 750 pull
yes they do
you deadlift 405, which by my estimation should take the average person anywhere from 6 months to 1 year to accomplish, so let's assume you have approximately 1 year of lifting under your belt
who the fuck are you, with your 1 year of experience, to talk about the role genetics and steroids play in lifting? you're probably a beginner or early intermediate still, so you take your current rate of progression and extrapolate it into the future and speak with authority on shit you really know nothing about
saged
Nicholas Long
Tbh it just sounds like you blame your shit lifts on your genes and natty status. I am going for 600, that's going to require a lot of assistance and advanced technical understanding. At least I'm trying to better myself. You're mad gay dude.
Gabriel Morris
I see what you are saying. Now im curious. One exercise that jumped to my mind are good mornings. Preferably done like ala sasha nievas?
Lincoln Taylor
the fucker was backsquatting 170kg as a kid and snatching 100kg few months after lifting
fuck off inb4 >lol u dont squat 300kg after 2 weeks ss?
Sebastian Campbell
That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for and wouldn't have thought of.
You're not making a point. Yes he's fucking strong as hell, trying to figure out why.
Matthew Evans
because of GENETICS, STEROIDS, and a lifetime of TRAINING, stop looking for the fucking magic bullet to being like clarence0, it's not out there
you were either born with the potential to get those types of lifts, or you weren't, it's that simple
just train hard and eat right and don't worry about shit you can't really control anyway, what will be will be
Justin Rodriguez
OLYMPIC MOVEMENTS YOU DUMB PRICK. Overhead squats, cleans and snatches. Stop with the high/low bar excuse. There's only one way a barbell can sit on your back comfortably, and that's the 'shelf' where the traps and rhomboids meet. (Pic related). I know for a fact you have never attempted to overhead squat a barbell in your life, because you know within the first three reps that it's extremely demanding of your lower back. DYEL, seriously.

It's steroids. I could totally do all that shit if I had his genetics." Fit people are worse than fatties.

You're a fucking idiot Clarence squatted TRIPLE his body weight (270kg) at 18 years old, how retarded do you have to be to claim he's not a genetic freak
David Nguyen
270kg squat is fucking easy to hit after 3-4 years training. Genetics are a fucking meme, dude. Yes they account for some things (face), but unless you have some serious disabilities and train well then most people can hit 270kg within 3-4 years of lifting. ESPECIALLY when you focus on that lift, which Clarence did.

Wait a second, how do highbar squats build your lower back better than deadlifts?
I don't care about numbers or how wrong I am. I only want a lower back like Clarence now. Explain to me like a child the best way to accomplish this, and why deadlifts/lowbar squats won't do this but (someone said) good mornings will.
Seems to be a lot of conflicting information here. Help

Well in a traditional good morning your hips go back and it's the glutes that are going to bring you back up to some extent. This girl Sasha Nievas does them sitting down with her legs in a V so only the back gets worked.

Clarence has elite genetics for his sport and has been using gear for a while. You shouldn't take anyone seriously who denies this. Very few people get to that level regardless of their training or diet.

I think the deterministic attitudes of the fitness community is toxic. It's like if anyone makes it they MUST have roided. Maybe you need to stop making excuses.

just drop it at this point. he has a high possibility of being natty
Jason Sanchez
Hows your first year lifting going friend?
Ryder Harris
>lifts as much as olympic weightlifters >natty
Angel Edwards
olympic weightlifters have to be natty. MOST of the ones who are using banned substances are caught eventually. inb4 "oh, they just make new drugs they can't test for" That's just idiotic to think that the olympic community is letting anyone slide, as they have no money to be made off of selling tickets to games

>documentary Good source of information. Try again friend.

Personal satisfaction. Same with lifting. But competition is strange cause then you start comparing and you have to ask what specifically is it that you are comparing? Its certainly not the competitor's efforts since some will simply get better results for the same effort put in.
Brody Gray

Nathaniel Price

Henry Watson
if you are saying clarence is natty i am not trying to downplay how talented and athletic he is and how much work he has put in, but its quite easy to spot obvious roid use. really big traps and capped delts are a dead give away, as well is the way his skin looks, that natural slight tan hue even on a pasty guy.
for some reason high enough steroid doses of even just testosterone give that look, once you take something like masteron or even EQ its obvious when you get that slight perma tan, i think it is from increased RBC. high DHT compounds do this the most.

the documentary where the main guy takes testosterone oil subq in his leg and gets nasty bumps and bleeds everywhere and nobody really knows what the fuck they are doing and the supposed pro doping guy just gives basic advice about how to time drug dosage so the ester clears out that any novice steroid user figures out early on
just like most netflix normie bullshit, it was a stupid doc made for retarded masses, did nothing to educate people, full of retards

Yeah they certainly never get busted for doping either, which pretty much confirms it, if they were on drugs olympic athletes would get caught

The vast majority of ones who dope get caught.

the vast majority of olympic athletes doesn't get caught. Look up retrospective reports, i think few years ago was especially damning on some anonymous basis you are really bluepilled about competitive sports man

His genetics are probably the exact reason his lumbar is so beefy. Even for someone who roids, that's abnormal.
Charles Richardson

Julian Cook
This amount of dissonance. Your arguement is only valid if a subjective number ("LOADS") of Olympic athletes (the scope of this argument) are caught using PEDs (even though my argument was solely concerning steroids.) But I don't expect you to know this, or anything based on the construction of your reply.
Gabriel Wilson

Jayden Ross
m8 if you actually followed weightlifting then you'd know how many athletes get caught, just look at the recent controversy around retested samples
Also the dude tracks his fucking micros and shit. Considering that Olympic lifting is his life it's not surprising he puts up good numbers.

clarence doesn't mean to entertain people liek some faggy fitness celeb, he just lifts weights and lets people masturbate to the vids he uploads
I would say high reps at least in my experience, if I train to failure and high weights, i get the good old peak muscle mass, but training low weight and a massive number of reps is what fills the voids, giving me a massive pump
Brandon Martinez
Clarence is looking more and more jacked but his lifts are more and more static
