Eoin is the thiccest natty vegan bodybuilder I've ever seen.

[@NoahKingOHigherPlane]

Your pull is straight, but when you jump, you go a little bit back. Thats why you go forward after catching it. Just an observation, you are my idol!

Eoins teq is better actually . Clarence is just a freak you can see that Clarence isnt extending fully . And diving under which is why hes so forward at one point in the video you can see eoin telling him the same thing

[@nicksantos2210]

What is the purpose of those straps?

[@obi-wankenobi9871]

@@nicksantos2210 When your grip is too weak for the rest of your body, you use straps. They hold the weight for you.

[@JinnDante]

@@obi-wankenobi9871 hope you are trolling. Straps are used so you can focus more on the other parts of your body other than the hands and fuck up your thumbs. If you cant do it with straps you won't do it without them. Straps on the snatch dont work as the deadlift.

[@boxlad7583]

johnny iron lung lmao the purpose of straps is for when your grip can’t hold the weight you’re lifting... the dude is correct. Maybe in olympic lifting they have a different contextual use, but that is the general use of straps

[@columkenn]

Strong dude. Ideal physique, strong without being overly bulky

[@rickwebermusic]

Um...those shorts weren't designed to fit like spandex, lol.

[@maxk880]

From a physique standpoint he's definitely not perfect. His legs oversize the rest of the body, which ruins the V-shape, making him look stocky. For perfect physique he'd need more shoulder/arm mass or less legs mass

[@columkenn]

@@maxk880 Depends on your perspective. Many people consider the soccer-player physique like Ronaldo etc to be the most desired physique. Clarence is like a very strong soccer-player build without excessive bulk whilst being exceptionally strong for his weight

[@almightyeggroll951]

caaaannot wait for part 2

[@palvindarchhokar9821]

I'm by no means a weightlifting expert, but I think Clarence missed the 185's because he's not fully extending for the triple extension which causes him to jump back. You can see his feet shift back, meaning the bar is just too far in front of him, hence why it immediately falls in front of him after he gets down into the squat after the extension, maybe try and be more vertical when doing the extension?

[@TheMortalKombatent]

yeah he pulled them all in the right area but he jumps back a few inches and the bar barely goes past his head. his technique did get better recently tho.

Yep

[@jessvenner9451]

is it just me or are clarence's quads getting bigger?

[@gerryramos1031]

Since the warm ups the bar go too far from his body when his hip hit it, no surprise he lost all his 185 in the front.

[@jakewilliams5528]

Gerry Ramos well Clarence technically lifts differently than what’s standard for all aspects of his lifting. He’s taller plus has his knee issues so it doesn’t surprise me that his snatch mechanically is off (which doesn’t matter because he’s such a freak)

[@eddyngaue6495]

@Jake_Cirincione there's no need to make any excuse for bad technique. Gerry Ramos is correct.

[@fredhall6008]

eddy ngaue are u actually dumb his form is fine secondly don’t comment on lifter that does more than u

[@gerryramos1031]

You most understand that coaches don't lift more than their athletes, they are in gyms to help them, and that's what Clarence need a person who tell him what is need be correct.

[@gerryramos1031]

I don't now what your talking about 5zazen. I not talking about Clarence strength, I now how strong he is and I now he ain't gonna read this comment's, but what I say first was an observation in the way he pull the bar far away of his body.

[@MrSolvaring]

I may have hurt my left knee. Where you get one of them bands at?

[@GamaDaGreat]

This is equivalent to watching a giant white tiger, going about its day. Subtle muscle movements course through the beast mighty frame as it catches sight of its prey. As you watch from the distance you notice what it’s been hunting, the largest animal in the jungle. You say to your self, “There’s no fucking way”. And then it pounces, “holy shit!” You say as the tiger breaks the neck of its gargantuan prey. That tigers name was Clarence

[@jahfaricoumarbatch3947]

thsi man is built like Baki Hanma and he moves like him too

[@memorycard1000]

Problem with training is buying clothes. Nothing fits like I want since years back. Jeans is a no go. T shirts is medium from the beginning but nowadays I have to buy large cause my big arms and torso. Otherwise it looks ridiculous but with large for some reason, they make them way wider at the waist so it becomes a tent.

[@memorycard1000]

@Nathaniel Watkins that's the ugliest thing to do. You get a chunk of extra clothe at the front which looks aweful imo.

[@sergiotl7378]

[@Arturvalerio]

Can you imagine that tian tao only lifted 1 kg more than clarence did in this video at worlds

[@KATABOLIST]

sure, clarence is effin strong but there still is a gap between them... for example out of 10 lifts tian bombs out on 185kg maybe two times due to inbalance where clarence succeeds on 2/10 at best!! hence the fact that tian is lighter in weight too... but still, clarences strength is undoubtly world class where tians is out of this world lol

[@john-ze7eu]

There's no way... This is good for your back

[@yannickp.2430]

At 6:31, I noticed that when clarence jumps, his feet land slightly back. Could it have something to do with the fact that when he goes back up he also moves forward?

[@dickpiano1802]

You are supposed to jump backwards in the snatch. Not much, but at least a little bit. So, no.

[@ah7027]

ya most people have a slight jump back. Not everyone but a lot. some people don't move at all. As long as your not jumping forward your doing ok lol.

[@dickpiano1802]

"It used to be believed that after the jump the legs should go forward and out. It has been observed that is not the case. The legs should go back and out. The explanation is as follows: When the lifter lets go of the barbell after the pull, the net resultant force on the barbell is directed up and back." -- Prof. Dr. Ivan Abadjiev

[@henrylahud5156]

[@dysonspreybar4903]

True. But loads of lifters have flaws in technique, and still move decent weight despite the flaws.

[@gregdebelina3335]

This is the most ignorant comment i’ve seen in a minute... kiefe you need to kiefe that mouth shut. You have never studied this movement my guy. That move you’re talking about transfers energy through the bar.

[@nuzabe9054]

Greg Debelina the technique could be better, Clarence is whacking it away instead of whacking it up vertically. Look at the bar path, it’s moving away instead of vertically. That’s the most optimal technique. You’re comment is ignorant, at the highest lvl these little adjustments make a difference.
