also the thing about clarence being relatable is so true it's crazy how people think he is average

I stopped squating everyday, no more ouchies like knee tendonitis and squated 240 kg 3×3 highbar today. Thanks for all the good info lads

[@Martina-vk3wy]

me only twice a week lol

[@KwisBwown]

how d you get to 240 lad? any hot tips?

So you're saying I should just copy everything Clarence does. Got it.

exactly!

Hey thanks for featuring my question!

[@jimmierustler5607]

So what you're saying is, we can all be Clarence Kennedy if we squat 5x a week?

[@archerjoii3673]

you still need to stop eating meat and get the same pair of glasses to do that.

Would you guys consider doing a critique of some popular squat programs, eg the Russian/ Soviet squat program, madcow, Smolov etc. would be great to know what the pros/ cons are of these methods and their applicability in different circumstances.

[@andreabarone4964]

Mainly smolov

[@samj8932]

@@andreabarone4964 They talk about the russian squat program and smolov in their video "S&C Coaches Discuss Top 3 Most Dangerous & Misapplied Training Methods!" And im sure based off that title you can figure out what they think of it

Well Smolov itself is made for athletes doped up to the gills, so you can probably have a guess.

[@inky4690]

I notice those type of questions and mindsets a lot..comparing your training to the top. They didn't get to the top because of that training. They made their way up there because of who they are and now train like that. I'm sure lasha or lu has enough leg power to set a new wr. So they aren't doing a difficult 5x5 twice a week at 95% relative intensity. They're maintaining to be able to do what's important, Olympic weightlifting

[@therealforestelf]

I currently squat with volume & intensity for 2 times a week and just have light weight and less reps/sets on my "off days" because "makes hip feel gud" ~ leading to 3-4 serious training days a week and 6 total somewhat training days a week with rehab/technical work and stuff like that

[@tariqo16]

but what is the standard ? i think it will be good to see sika strenght standards for each weight class

Could you talk more about how rest times affect training outcomes more? You briefly addressed it last video (I think).

[@MedicinalVorona]

Not everyone can be a gym wizard like Clarence

[@nathanmason4140]

I personally have tried squat every day. As a weightlifting itermidiate and I personally never got stronger at all. It mostly just caused knee pain and fatigue.

[@Soccasteve]

Most I’ve done was 3 days but it was varaiations for each day. 1 day of high bar, 1 day of front squat, and 1 day of low bar and the volume was pretty low each session (2-4 sets each day). Doing the same lift 3 days a week is a recipe for stalling.

[@aidanivesdavis]

Hey, so this might be a bit too specific/theoretical to give a good answer, but: If you had two groups of lifters, one trains 5x5, the other 5x3, both advancing 5lbs each session (assuming completion of all reps), both training twice per week, who do you expect to have the better increase in 1RM over different time periods (6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, whatever)? If we changed this to 5x5 vs 8x3, how do you think this would change the results? Thanks for the sweey content! 🙏 Lookin swole, my dudes

[@personofinterest7918]

I got great gains running 5x5 from 240 to 300. I also got terrible shoulder pain. I not sure pounding out 5x5s for weeks is to smart. Got to shake it up.

[@hilmyrahmadani3114]

Whats ur take on variable loading by pavel tsatsouline

[@megiMove]

Just one question about your squat program. Do you just do accessories on the day 1 of squat , or are those accessories for both squat sessions ? Great to know before i start the program next week 😍🤩 exited !

[@jotr.9786]

Clerence our supreme squater who was born under a double rainbow while a new star appeared in the heavens to herald his birth.

[@Sealed_Chamber]

Great nuance.

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

I think whoever wants to be a good competitive weightlifter, needs to squat more than 2 times per week. My younger brother was training weightlifting at sport's school in Bulgaria since the age of 12 and they had either front or back squat each day.

[@ethanmccormick3271]

Please release the clip of you talking about Clarence as a stand alone with his name in the title so more people see it, more people need to be told that they aren't Clarence

The only reason to squat every day is if you like squatting.

High Frequency Squatting BUT It's Not For A New 1RM!

[@h1bB0ilzZ]

Hey lads. Are you guys doing commentary for the olympic sessions?

[@matthewmckee6289]

I’m pretty sure a lot of the Olympic stuff gets flagged and taken down on KZbin, so I would say no probably not.

[@greglindstrom1705]

Do weightlifters have to do back squats? Or can I just do front squats?

[@inky4690]

Depends I suppose. Lasha just back squats and shi shyong does only front squat. The two highest ranked male athletes. But a mix of both is recommended for specificity and strength

Snatching 80kg with a 100kg squat? So does that mean I can snatch more than 80? Please say yes

[@yeetmeister0704]

Technically yes but your entering the close to impossible zone but by the time you get your snatch closer to your 100 your 100 would become a 110. Consider it impossible to have your snatch the same as your squat

[@getstrongby4038]

@@yeetmeister0704 I can squat 175, what does that mean?

[@getstrongby4038]

@@yeetmeister0704 there's no way I could snatch anywhere close to this BTW just a thereorical thing lol

[@yeetmeister0704]

@@getstrongby4038 well with the 100 squat you could say that you are still growing fast and maybe outweigh the squat bc your routine is weird af like mine was when i outsnatched my clean and jerk, but still to get either at your squat is a joke especially when your squat is 175 no way your upper could support 175 overhead now at a 175 squat

[@matthewmckee6289]

@@getstrongby4038 Very good efficiency is probably around 65%, any higher and it’s excellent efficiency. I don’t know exactly, but I would say not many people at all would be able to snatch above 70% of their squat. Average person is probably able to snatch about 60% of their squat. But just to preface, that’s just generalisations. There are many other factors that can make big impacts.
