I used to squat 160kg as a 1RM and I can assure you I never got anywhere near that low to the ground.

If clarence was a powerlifter hed be squatting 200 kg with the same effort. So yeah, nothing exceptional despite the fact that most people who lift will never squat 160 kg with such ease.

      I think the first step towards learning it will be to start working on your squat depth (buy some elevated heel weightlifting shoes), ATG paused backsquats should be your first goal, then work on your front rack mobility and do ATG front squats with a good front rack position.
      Also I'd recommend you look up Clarence's Clean and jerk and snatch tutorial on youtube, perfect the drills he tells in those vids, and zack telander's vids will also help.

    What you said about being able to walk a flight of stairs without being out of breathe is the same reason i stopped training for gains and now only training weights for health.
    I really enjoy long distance hiking, cycling and swimming and completely changed how and why i trained.
    I started lifting because i didn't have much else and never liked going out. You quickly get addicted to it and it becomes your whole personality.
    My world was very small in front of a screen only. When i look around i see many pepole starting for the similar reasons. Curious to see if they naturally advance more to the outdoor world.
    Do you think hiking a trail or bikepacking is something you might get into?

    I used to really love your videos, I even paid to be in your Patreon and not miss any of your videos, but one year ago I injured my back doing clean and jerks. I got a lumbar rectification. And after one year of not getting almost any better, I miss training so bad.
    I hope to one day get better and get back at training, I still have the goal to have your technique and lift like you do!

      @@Eringobragh2024 it's of course a rhetorical question, I just find it funny that vegans propped up this guy as an example of a strong and healthy vegan lifter.
      More likely than not his doctor told him that his blood values were off the charts from years of PED use, so he had to stop abruptly, and he regressed to the natural state of a vegan lifter; weak and small after 10+ years of lifting.

    For anyone wondering, yes he posts clips which are like years old just to keep interest. But if you subscribe to his patreon which is a dollar a month (its 12 bucks a year so why not) you can see him progressively drop body weight and lift less. Since some people here seem shocked and think its a sudden loss in strength.

    Same mate, i was 96-100 now im about 86 kilo which is the lightest ive been in years. I can barely bench 2 plates , squat 3 and pull 4. Actually first day I got back after about the six months off where I did nothing beside walking and stretching, i was struggling with squatting and benching one plate. Weirdly enough it excited me so much

      I suppose the one upside to it is you get to progress again. That's always the most fun part of training anyway imo. Once you plateau it's just a grind, the only thing that keeps you going then is discipline and the desire to not go backwards. When you're putting another plate on the bar every few weeks, it actually feels fun.
