[@OmarIsuf]

Decided to do something different while Clarence was in Toronto and hold a lift off. We sent out a post inviting anyone and everyone to lift against Clarence (either absolute weight or by Sinclair, which is like the Wilks for weightlifting). Out of everyone invited, only Spencer Moorman, formerly of Cal Strength agreed to the showdown. Some pretty insane lifts in the video here (multiple 200kg/441lb Clean & Jerks, a 180kg/397lb Snatch). The event was free and open to everyone to come (about 30 people came to 646 weightlifting to watch it). If you enjoyed this lift off make sure to like the video and let me know who you want to see next. Also make sure to check out Clarence and Spencer's social media in the description!

also the fact that the video is only 360p makes it so clarence kennedy. I'm feeling so nice and calm watching it

[@metalmikebot]

These guys are amazing. Shame Clarence isn't interested in competing. Even if he's at 105 these days (seems likely), he'd be 15kg shy of the snatch record and 26kg shy of the clean & jerk record. Not a bad place to be for a young lifter.

dont shit on the dude come on its genatic, i was born similarly but kudos for him lifting 200kgs

[@Shadoweprinz]

If you go back and watch Clarence's old competition days, you'll see he always outperforms most of his peers on the snatch, and then he fails epicly on his clean and jerk attempts, even on weights he knows he should be able to hit. The dude has hit 225kg (500 lbs) on the clean and jerk before (probably heavier bodyweight), but if you make him snatch beforehand, he only hits his 200kg.

[@aliceoconnor501]

for one, he's max clean and jerk is 220kg, also he's sitting at a lower body weight and he doesn't fail epically lol ...200kg...pretty decent!

[@Shadoweprinz]

What do you mean he doesn't fail epicly? He's gone multiple competitions failing all 3 of his clean and jerk attempts, while leading in the snatch.

[@nickkraw1]

Happy He failed snatch at 180kg like over 5 times. You think maybe his CNS would be fried? Just fuckin maybe?

[@Shadoweprinz]

Of course he would have exhausted some part of his CNS. The other competitors would have too, and they still lift heavy on the clean and jerk. I'm just pointing out a problem Clarence has, that if addressed, could potentially make him a world class lifter.

[@Garrick1983]

Happy he is world class lifter,just not an Olympian,Which is light years away from lifting weights on KZbin edited.Still strong and powerful just not an Olympian which is the end game or goal in weightlifting.

[@joshuaokhonmina7898]

Cooper Carr because to go to the olympics you need a team around you who can make sure you pass the drug tests Ireland doesn't do that

[@tantarudragos]

yeah its a shame honestly he really has a lot of potential for it

[@TajwarC]

This, and also Ireland would need to send more athletes to the European and other international championships first to gain spots at the Olympics. You can't just show up at the Olympics. The process is actually quite complicated even I don't really get it lol

[@bbbbbbbobbbbbb]

i dont understand weightlifting, like the snatch for example, is clarence just stronger or does he just have better techique, because i feel like if you can get it off the floor its all technique from there.

[@gabolujan]

Donovan Hall I do weightlifting and I can deadlift almost 400lbs and belive me when I say I will probably never be able to throw that type of weight over my head like these guys. I would say its probably 40% technique 60% strength

[@abcz98]

Mostly technique but that depends on the lifters anatomy, flexibility and their comfort level

[@kiliantreminio]

Weightlifting isn't technique or strength, It's both. If either your technique, strength, flexibility or speed aren't good, you won't be a good weightlifter.

[@repoman2826]

Technique is the most important part since competing happens in weightclasses and technique is the most limiting factor. If you look at Spencer the reason why he can't catch the bar is because he jumps way too back. Resulting in bar placing over his head and not behind him

[@MrOldMajor]

There are ideal ratios in weightlifting between your snatch, clean and jerk and back squat. You want to be snatching 60-65% of your squat, and 80% of your clean and jerk. Beyond that it's just strength.

[@wwecollin]

Amazing video!

[@majorcritic]

Hey Omar. Would it be possible to make a video about some stretches or warm up you can do for some of the big lifts like squat and bench. Like dynamic vs. static stretches or if warming up on a bike or olyptical is fine.
