@clarence0 question. did you consider taking way more drugs for 1-2 years, to see how far you can go? like way more. because: traditional bodybuilders, who are on a massive load of drugs, always lack the technique experience for olympic lifting. yet, you've an advantage... heart attacks and brain issues aside (ahem)

Enhanced games will never be a thing. The reality is the normal games are already enhanced and the best athletes are already there. No one good enough to get on olympic level would go so those who would wouldn't be beating any records thus the only thing it would do is place more suspicion on the "natty" games.

[@joeyv2083]

Tell em!!

[@setht_training]

[@RelativeRelativiness]

The highest level of strongman is in the untested events. Just pay the athletes properly and you'll get (openly) juiced olympic medal level athletes.

[@bondymagnomous3544]

Yes but that suspicion will be a great thing.

[@maximisatwat]

There's a limit on "how crazy" they can go currently . They have to prevent greater scurinty into what they're doing and pass clean tests. With no limits at all, they no longer need to do that. Think pro wrestling. Imagine 20 Sam Sulak's lumbering down the track at inhuman speed.10% of the competitors hearts stopping during each event.

[@IlIlIlIlIlIlIllIlIII]

Honestly the only lifting channel I enjoy the content of. I can relate to the squat frequency answer; have to do it 4-5 times a week for maintenance at a certain level. Also injured my knee in may, so couldn't squat for 8 weeks (still trained legs though), and I lost 40kg on my reps just like that. Been vegan for 12 years now. I tried mock-meats once or twice, and both times I saw it as a novelty more than anything else. Didn't really see the point.

[@ChoclateThunda50]

Clarence is an OG for posting this. People really think they should oly lift forever and then their bodies breakdown MUCH quicker than your basic lifts. You can find older guys powerlifting and doing strongman in their 40's not just participating but setting records. Olympic lifting is a get in and get out sport if you are not on a path to represent the county.

Yo man, I'm from the US. No good weightlifting here. Wanted to tell you, you were born at the right time. No one has done more for weightlifting in the 21st century than you have, and you did it all being authentic to who you are. I never would've tried the lifts if it weren't for your content. I played rugby in college & also did parkour in my youth. A year ago, when it all wrapped up, I missed it so much and wanted to find a fun hobby where I could improve my general athleticism. I've loved weightlifting so far, so thank you Clarence.

Your comments around ~16:30 seem to be in line with what Peter Singer argued long ago in Famine, Affluence, and Morality - "if it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance, we ought, morally, to do it." Regrettably, the world seems to have continually, collectively pushed against that for the past 50 years.

[@robertwide6592]

moral point of view isnt applicable to everyday life. most of our deeds are automatic.

[@Hossak]

Great video as always and some fantastic insights from your own experiences, that really makes a difference when someone is completely honest. You inspired me to develop my squat to emulate yours (maximum depth) and things have never been better and I recently turned 54. Thank you! Keep well :)

[@rileyrfitzpatrick]

I throw discus and shot put casually. Its a great hobby. You can get the shoes, disc, and shot for maybe $100-150 usd total. Javelins are a bit more expensive. I just go to my nearest track when its not being used and use their throwing circle, but throwing circles can be made with plywood and set up in any random field too. Its veryy fun.

[@joeh784]

Thank you for not shying away from the Veganism topic.

[@bren.r]

Imitation meat is not the same as real meat. It’s just not nutritionally the same. That’s an objective fact. It isn’t up for debate. Not to mention, with imitation meat, it seems that these companies prioritize mimicking appearance over mimicking the nutritional value.

[@Precipiceofwind]

[@shiv_ring]

@@bren.r He didn't claim it is the _same,_ nor does it have to be, hence his point of 'people waiting for XYZ so they don't have to change their behavior.' Most people don't look for nutrition in alternatives to animal products, there's whole food plants for that.

[@bren.r]

@@shiv_ring find me a plant or plants that provide the same nutritional value as salmon. I'll wait.

[@thegoodguyalwayswins]

@@bren.r I put it into Cronometer and the nutrition for it is easy to get on plants. The question is, if someone does this assignment of yours, will you stop torturing and killing animals and go vegan? Or will you just keep keep coming up with excuses for continuing animal abuse? I haven't eaten any meat or animal products in 11 years btw, so I know how easy it is to get all your nutrients on plants.

[@NewJack-wr4bq]

Blue pilled bullshit. God made the animals for us to eat….where does this “it’s wrong” bullshit coming from… plants are alive. It’s dumbass followers that have gotten us to the point that globalists (Trudeau, WEF, that piece of shit from Australia) are confident in trying to push EATING BUGS 🪳 and that we are supposed to take it 😆. I will go to war with real men on my side before I go vegan.

[@a2j544]

You're so on point with your comments about veganism. It's absurd that you and others should get hate for just talking about it. People just see some compilations of "crazy vegans" and a few commentary channels mocking it and then they just associate all veganism with that type of behaviour as if there isn't any nuance to the subject.

[@christopherroberts2500]

I believe the frustration for many in Clarence's case was that he was, in part at least, suggesting his vegan diet and lifestyle 'made' his formidable gym gains - in reality it was most of his adult life eating meat and taking PEDs, not mung beans and salads. He's never clarified this, so of course the hate continues. Aside from that, yes, giving someone shit just for being vegan is of course not right.

[@R3IMU]

It triggers people, because most live in a state of blissful ignorance of most things while claiming and dearly believing to be a "good person". Even though everyone can agree that the world isn't black and white, people have a very hard time admitting to themselves that they are in fact grey and have their moral shortcomings. And on a topic as glaringly clear as the vegan question, their ignorance and moral failure surface and their psyche leads their brain into a defense mechanism. Instead of acknowledging and accepting their shortcomings, they dismiss it or get angry.
