On a serious note. Are you guys aware of Shane Hamman? He squatted 410kgs faster than the Cuban guy in the video did 250. He was also a weightlifter and I'm sure he holds the heaviest squat for an olympic level weightlifting competitor. Not sure why Zack didn't mention him.
Jerking requires fine motor skills developed over years of practice and development of technique and efficiency. Some teens get it done 2-3 times a day
Nah Zack, my 400 kg squat looks like that. I was squatting 180 kgs, but some guy commented to put my toest out 15 degrees on my instapost and the next day I was squatting 400 kgs like that because it increased my thigh muscle efficiency.
"Oly" Weightlifters are absolutely amazing. 20 Years of powerlifting 5 years of PEDs and my bar speed doesn't even compare to these guys that are half my size. I need to rethink my life.
Probably just how powerlifters train vs weightlifters. Weightlifters are always told to squat with fast as possible ascend, whereas powerlifters put force production over power production.
Its genetics for explosivity and muscle fiber distribution. Some people lift very fast near their maxes, some people lift slow anything above 70%. Doesnt really mean anything
Yeh when I was a yungun I was like a lot of young people dabbling weightlifting just when this song came out way better than Eminem to weightlift too and it’s older I reckon a lot of people did pump a bit to it now that I see this really suited it cool memories
Honestly the tip about the quads in your squat has helped me so much. I’ve got a sticking point right above parallel and thinking about my quads has probably increased my squat twenty pounds.
Zack "Do you want me to just give Clarence this channel so he can have a third one? Is that what you want? Is that what we're gonna do? Whatever, I'm done" Telander
Clarence now officially has a 3rd channel :D just kidding, great video Zack! I don't do olympic weightlifting, mostly squats, deadlifts and bench plus some other lifts and accessories, but when I squat, I always do it high bar oly style. I also have long femurs and it took me more than half a year to achieve the mobility for full depth, but it was worth it. The squat has become my favorite lift and I love watching other people squat on the internet. So it goes without saying that this video is pure gold for me.
Fantastic vid, Zack. As a mere mortal, I used to watch the Iron Mind Chakarov squat vid over and over in utter disbelief. All these years later, I’m still a mere mortal and now I do the same with Clarence’s squat vids.
Hey Zack, just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos and your commentary, super entertaining and informative for a casual gym-goer with a weightlifting dream like me. Good job!!!
Well, I only learned of Clarence from your *Tries Sumo Once* video, so... you guys are kind of mutually promoting each other, which is awesome! I really like this video, I'm really trying to improve my squat right now and these are some great points. Thank you!
It’s good to see your squats! Although I’m not as tall as you I do have long femurs relative to my body makes squatting so much harder. Nice to know we can still move solid weight with enough hard work 👍
Nice shout out to the IronMind videos. I saw their vids of the Bulgarian training sessions back in the early 2000's before CZcams existed. Mind blowing stuff. Good to see their content is still relevant and appreciated.
Whenever I see Clarence take inhale deep before he squats I'm amazed at the bars movement. That bar would be crushing me. No way air is getting into my lungs.
Honestly, I would not be mad if you made reaction videos, or livestreams. I would like if you made a video, or livestream reacting to the 2021 olympics.
Powerlifters practice speedy deep squats too. It's exactly that bounce at the bottom (hamstring activation) that is highly desirable. Granted, for competition we don't need to move beyond the 'parallel', but it is something my coach encourages to do in my training anyway. The deeper you can go with good form, the better.
It is completely counterintuitive, but check out Daniel Bell's squat. He is the Raw Powerlifting ATWR holder in sleeves and wraps for the SHW, which is remarkable, but what is really weird is his style, very upright, similar to a weightlifting "style" squat. He and Rob Philippus have very unusual styles, particularly for a heavier powerlifting squat.
@@zacktelander yes, but Dan Bell looks almost strange, particularly in the hole. He is so big, yet his knees go way out over the toes. Chad Wesley Smith was upright, but his style had a little more forward lean than Bell, in my opinion. Chad is/was huge and probably has longer femurs. His knees/joints look humungous. I always thought he would be less injury prone than others, because he looked like a freaking tank.
Who said we're friends Zack?
just kidding Mr zack, good vid

I cant even stand up out of fucking bed as fast as Arranda moves his max.
Underrated comment
This is the most relatable comment
This comment is becoming properly rated.

But does he even hit depth? It really doesnt look like it to me, top of his thighs are way above parallel

You've been powerlifting 20 years and you don't get why that is?
@@KyungseoParkk it would be the opposite, faster ascension means higher acceleration means higher force
3:07 "Toshikisama succeeded!! Let's give him seizure!!!"
HAHAHA
Seriously I was just about to comment same... "congrats on your squat! now eat a strobe! Every time!"
For real that is the first thing I thought when I saw that
😂
11:32 What weight can I move that fast? Uhhh my body weight lol! That was beyond insane. Out of this world insane.
Que? What are you doing here
I think 60.
Also there's collars on the last lift of him. 285
most okayest squatter at 12:58 thx, bye
Slender man?
You gotta rename your podcast Giraffe Training Systems and put out a new episode soon man
That's unironically really impressive, train on giraffe san

Lol true. Same
@@cullenbohannon7490 Haha truly! I couldn't get out of a chair that fast if it was on fire

It's a church basement that's on the 2nd floor. Yeah. Space works differently in Ireland.
So are we gon leave out Tian Tao’s back squat
cuban man stands up with 500lbs on his back faster than i stand up out of a chair
It's Breathe by The Prodigy. Points for trying, though ;)
Nah, Im deducting points for not knowing that
Yeah had to be mentioned. Fuckn' travesty you mixed that up with The Crystal Method.
Damien Pezzuti, just wanted to leave that there
True he is a powerlifter who squats like that. Fast too
"Breathe" - Prodigy. from the 1996 album "The Fat Of The Land". every track is an absolute banger!
I thought it might have been Trip Like I Do by Crystal Method.
Yeh when I was a yungun I was like a lot of young people dabbling weightlifting just when this song came out way better than Eminem to weightlift too and it’s older I reckon a lot of people did pump a bit to it now that I see this really suited it cool memories
Dude loving this new content - I'd be stoked to watch reactions of lifts/WL sessions etc etc
“Time to rack it” ~ Pat Mendez. That squat should of have been in the vid
Should have??!?! Best squat ever
Had to go watch that video right after this. Definitely should've been in this vid.
Clarence's squat depth is sick. Great video, Zack. Love your video and the ones you make with Juji and Tom.
12:05 On the walkout Aranda takes a couple extra steps back knowing he’d smoke the weight and flip the bar over his head
its great to see you channel blow up like his zach. thank you for the video on the beauty, technique, and science for oly lifts
Zack -- this is probably the most entertaining video i've watched in years. Thank you.
12:00 “he’s going to absolutely pipe this” 🤣🤣🤣 GOLD.
"Great snatch, not a great jerk."

This was great! You're getting so much better with post production. Plus the humor is perfect :-)

I'm pleased to hear that you're giving your channel to Clarence, it's about time. Seriously though fun video. It was worth my 20 minutes.
This is such a great video. Thank you. So much appreciated!
The way Arranda whips that 280kg over his head still blows my mind after watching that video 10 times before.
Greetings from Estonia! Tere! 🇪🇪 Nice surprise to see Mart’s lifts!
when he said "jerk" i wasn't even thinking that then he took it there and i was LMAO

Love this channel! But I also came for Clarence and to remind you of the 10 sets for 3 at 270kg. Have a nice weekend :)
his 265kg for 10 was more impressive imo
Fantastic vid, Zack. As a mere mortal, I used to watch the Iron Mind Chakarov squat vid over and over in utter disbelief. All these years later, I’m still a mere mortal and now I do the same with Clarence’s squat vids.
"I don't need his clout!! :(" - meanwhile Abajev looks judgmental in the back

Big miss not having the goat of squatting joel birdseed
Best laugh I've had in a while. Thanks, very well done. And no one approaches Lasha unless Lasha allows it.
There are few things more beautiful than seeing these amazing athletes back squat. The strength + technique is incredible.
It’s good to see your squats! Although I’m not as tall as you I do have long femurs relative to my body makes squatting so much harder. Nice to know we can still move solid weight with enough hard work 👍
Watching clips of competitions when people make big lifts, when it's quiet then the crowd roars, is so satisfying to me.
Yamamoto's femurs are the length of my humerus.
@@trtnec True, also the fact his legs are immense make them look much bulkier and shorter than they are
@@trtnec
Yea, I dont get why everyones acting likes hes Lu Xiaojun, who really has short femurs and legs.
Toshikis are rather normal actually.
Great video! The gawds Arranda, Chakarov and Clarence in the same vid 😍
That front squat! My goodness. One of the most impressive things I've ever seen, just legendary.
Right out of a 5 second pause too, the explosive power and strength is just unreal.
Loved this video!
Please more videos, these are amazing
Hahaha the last line was gold Zac 😂🙏🙌

The shit at the end with what you said about Clarence was genuinely so funny man.
I don't know about you guys but the most impressive for me was Idalberto Aranda. Unbelievable to move over 600 pounds at that speed.
7:55 wouldn't have even noticed... had to rewatch the joke for ~10 times now. Thank you Zack!
i love this video lol, give Clarence the channel for a day to vlog and see what he does.
Whenever I see Clarence take inhale deep before he squats I'm amazed at the bars movement. That bar would be crushing me. No way air is getting into my lungs.
Loving this more layed back having fun style vid dude
Really love that School of champions is on in the background
For accuracy: Get Busy Child is by The Crystal Method. Song in the Klokov vid is Breathe by the Prodigy.
Albertos speed is insane. It literally looks like you are playing it in 2x speed I’ve always got hype watching that video of those squats.
The sincerity in his plea made me laugh so hard.
I would take a look at Damien Pezzuti. He has a very impressive squat.
Yesssss
He said weightlifters only tho...
Zack, the moon and stars aligned when you were born brother, so much knowledge and so much funnies :-)
Best reaction video 2021!!
Seim is an absolute animal. I'd like to see him give some other strength sports a go as well. Man's well rounded.
We all love Clarence. Stand up dude and honest AF.

Honestly not even that counterintuitive. Your observation is spot on! Chad Wesley Smith was a tremendous squatter who was pretty upright as well.
John Haack is also mid-high bar and fairly upright with a narrow stance. An anomaly for powerlifters.

Even more so Shane Hamman. Have you seen how insanely fast he moved 410 kgs, ATG? Maybe the most impressive squat I've seen.
Love the shirt man much love from Korea 🏋🏻♂️
Idalberto is insane! Wish there was more footage on em
Arranda is out here basically teleporting weights
love the shirt zack

I like this new ClarenceZ channel 👍
Wow this is an eye opener! Thanks zack. No tian tao?
That fucking scene from School of Champions lmao. Reminds me of your dancing to royalty free disco at Juji and Tom’s
😂 I really enjoyed your Clarence bit
Toshiki's hip mobility is INSANE!
Good stuff, good humor
Respect to those men
Laughed out loud, LOL thanks
Zack, I didn’t even notice you had made that mistake at 7:55 until you pointed it.
Now I can’t stop laughing.
Love Toshikis spotters on the 321kg lift. Just gonna bicep curl that weight up if he fails
yo 16:55 your dog was genuinely worried for you. He/she is a real one.
Breathe - Prodigy @6:08
Busy Child is The Crystal Method
Both are classics for early 2000s electronic music though :D
That front squat for 5 seconds pause is sick
11:32 40kg, maybe 50kg but that's pushing it
same
Update: I tried and I in fact can not move 50kg as fast as Arranda moves 280
