Who said we're friends Zack? just kidding Mr zack, good vid

I cant even stand up out of fucking bed as fast as Arranda moves his max.

Came for clarence, came for clarence. Am sorry zack.

"Typical klokov sets up for about an hour" lmao so true

Jerking requires fine motor skills developed over years of practice and development of technique and efficiency. Some teens get it done 2-3 times a day

I just have to say, well executed back squats are one of the most aesthetically pleasing exercises period.

Nah Zack, my 400 kg squat looks like that. I was squatting 180 kgs, but some guy commented to put my toest out 15 degrees on my instapost and the next day I was squatting 400 kgs like that because it increased my thigh muscle efficiency.

"Oly" Weightlifters are absolutely amazing. 20 Years of powerlifting 5 years of PEDs and my bar speed doesn't even compare to these guys that are half my size. I need to rethink my life.

most okayest squatter at 12:58 thx, bye

3:07 "Toshikisama succeeded!! Let's give him seizure!!!"

_Comment what weight you can move that fast_ Me: *the empty bar on a good day*

11:32 What weight can I move that fast? Uhhh my body weight lol! That was beyond insane. Out of this world insane.

Those were all unreal. Clarence looks like he is training in some sort of detention center.

cuban man stands up with 500lbs on his back faster than i stand up out of a chair

So are we gon leave out Tian Tao’s back squat

Clarence's squat depth is sick. Great video, Zack. Love your video and the ones you make with Juji and Tom.

It's Breathe by The Prodigy. Points for trying, though ;)

"Breathe" - Prodigy. from the 1996 album "The Fat Of The Land". every track is an absolute banger!

Damien Pezzuti, just wanted to leave that there

Dude loving this new content - I'd be stoked to watch reactions of lifts/WL sessions etc etc

12:05 On the walkout Aranda takes a couple extra steps back knowing he’d smoke the weight and flip the bar over his head

Zack "Do you want me to just give Clarence this channel so he can have a third one? Is that what you want? Is that what we're gonna do? Whatever, I'm done" Telander

8:05 Can we get a round of applause for our boy Zack? We know what he had to go through to get in this position 🥳🥳👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Honestly the tip about the quads in your squat has helped me so much. I’ve got a sticking point right above parallel and thinking about my quads has probably increased my squat twenty pounds.

The way Arranda whips that 280kg over his head still blows my mind after watching that video 10 times before.

12:00 “he’s going to absolutely pipe this” 🤣🤣🤣 GOLD.

“Time to rack it” ~ Pat Mendez. That squat should of have been in the vid

"Great snatch, not a great jerk." -Zack

Love this channel! But I also came for Clarence and to remind you of the 10 sets for 3 at 270kg. Have a nice weekend :)

Clarence now officially has a 3rd channel :D just kidding, great video Zack! I don't do olympic weightlifting, mostly squats, deadlifts and bench plus some other lifts and accessories, but when I squat, I always do it high bar oly style. I also have long femurs and it took me more than half a year to achieve the mobility for full depth, but it was worth it. The squat has become my favorite lift and I love watching other people squat on the internet. So it goes without saying that this video is pure gold for me.

That front squat! My goodness. One of the most impressive things I've ever seen, just legendary.

I'm pleased to hear that you're giving your channel to Clarence, it's about time. Seriously though fun video. It was worth my 20 minutes.

its great to see you channel blow up like his zach. thank you for the video on the beauty, technique, and science for oly lifts

when he said "jerk" i wasn't even thinking that then he took it there and i was LMAO

For accuracy: Get Busy Child is by The Crystal Method. Song in the Klokov vid is Breathe by the Prodigy.

Yamamoto's femurs are the length of my humerus.

It’s good to see your squats! Although I’m not as tall as you I do have long femurs relative to my body makes squatting so much harder. Nice to know we can still move solid weight with enough hard work 👍

Zack put your vids in playlists. Sincerely, everyone

This and the DL one are the best vids to watch while having the after pre-workout poop. Please make more of them :)).

The shit at the end with what you said about Clarence was genuinely so funny man.

Whenever I see Clarence take inhale deep before he squats I'm amazed at the bars movement. That bar would be crushing me. No way air is getting into my lungs.

Hey Zack, just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos and your commentary, super entertaining and informative for a casual gym-goer with a weightlifting dream like me. Good job!!!

"I don't need his clout!! :(" - meanwhile Abajev looks judgmental in the back

There are few things more beautiful than seeing these amazing athletes back squat. The strength + technique is incredible.

Watching clips of competitions when people make big lifts, when it's quiet then the crowd roars, is so satisfying to me.

i love this video lol, give Clarence the channel for a day to vlog and see what he does.

This was great! You're getting so much better with post production. Plus the humor is perfect :-)

Big miss not having the goat of squatting joel birdseed

I don't know about you guys but the most impressive for me was Idalberto Aranda. Unbelievable to move over 600 pounds at that speed.

Best laugh I've had in a while. Thanks, very well done. And no one approaches Lasha unless Lasha allows it.

I would take a look at Damien Pezzuti. He has a very impressive squat.

Zack -- this is probably the most entertaining video i've watched in years. Thank you.

It is completely counterintuitive, but check out Daniel Bell's squat. He is the Raw Powerlifting ATWR holder in sleeves and wraps for the SHW, which is remarkable, but what is really weird is his style, very upright, similar to a weightlifting "style" squat. He and Rob Philippus have very unusual styles, particularly for a heavier powerlifting squat.

7:55 wouldn't have even noticed... had to rewatch the joke for ~10 times now. Thank you Zack!

Fantastic vid, Zack. As a mere mortal, I used to watch the Iron Mind Chakarov squat vid over and over in utter disbelief. All these years later, I’m still a mere mortal and now I do the same with Clarence’s squat vids.

Honestly, I would not be mad if you made reaction videos, or livestreams. I would like if you made a video, or livestream reacting to the 2021 olympics.

Great video! The gawds Arranda, Chakarov and Clarence in the same vid 😍

Well, I only learned of Clarence from your *Tries Sumo Once* video, so... you guys are kind of mutually promoting each other, which is awesome! I really like this video, I'm really trying to improve my squat right now and these are some great points. Thank you!

Hahaha the last line was gold Zac 😂🙏🙌

Nice shout out to the IronMind videos. I saw their vids of the Bulgarian training sessions back in the early 2000's before KZfaq existed. Mind blowing stuff. Good to see their content is still relevant and appreciated.

yo 16:55 your dog was genuinely worried for you. He/she is a real one.

Love the shirt man much love from Korea 🏋🏻‍♂️

13:02 to be fair Zack, you're a natty lifter. None of the professional lifters are natty, but that doesn't necessarily take away your achievements or their's. Either way is impressive.

Greetings from Estonia! Tere! 🇪🇪 Nice surprise to see Mart’s lifts!

Arranda is out here basically teleporting weights

I really fucking loved this video ! keep it up ZT!

Seim is an absolute animal. I'd like to see him give some other strength sports a go as well. Man's well rounded.

Albertos speed is insane. It literally looks like you are playing it in 2x speed I’ve always got hype watching that video of those squats.

man I love your content!

Powerlifters practice speedy deep squats too. It's exactly that bounce at the bottom (hamstring activation) that is highly desirable. Granted, for competition we don't need to move beyond the 'parallel', but it is something my coach encourages to do in my training anyway. The deeper you can go with good form, the better.

Love Toshikis spotters on the 321kg lift. Just gonna bicep curl that weight up if he fails

11:32 40kg, maybe 50kg but that's pushing it

I’ve squatted over 800lbs as a powerlifter (low bar, leaning forward, etc…) and Olympic squatting 500 kicks my ass every time. Completely different movement.

This is such a great video. Thank you. So much appreciated!

When are we seeing the Toshiki Senpai and Harry Squater versus??

The sincerity in his plea made me laugh so hard.

The olympic back and front squat are in my opinion, the best test of strength for the lower body.

Sad to not see Tian's 270x6 which is probably my favourite set of squats in weightlifting. Some more female squats that are different styles and bodyweights - Chen Wei Ling, compare her powerlifting squats and weightlifting squats. Perhaps the best squatter of all time. Gaelle Ketchanke, a lanky African weightlifter who squats over 200 and is my favourite example of how longer limbed people should squat. Hyejong Park, teenage super recently squatted 220kgx4 easily.

That Arranda guy is something else wtf

Breathe - Prodigy @6:08 Busy Child is The Crystal Method Both are classics for early 2000s electronic music though :D

7:55 YOU SAID IT, NOT ME

Please more videos, these are amazing

" I don't need his clout " .. OK I subbed just for that.

as a fellow long femured person i feel you bro. i love squatting but man it took me a long time to accept that i wasn't going to be good at it.

Best reaction video 2021!!

Idalberto is insane! Wish there was more footage on em

Mark Henry might be the only other guy to compete in weightlifting and squat more than Mart Seim. He competed in powerlifting and hit somewhere in the mid-900s iirc. It was a weightlifting style squat, but I'm not sure if he was wearing kneewraps or not.

I can't move the barbell as fast as Arranda 😂😂😂😂

I think I can only do a Bodyweight squat as fast as that Cuban guy, holy fucknuggets.

16:52 the dog is making sure his human is doing ok

Lus’ 270 in the world champs training hall is a personal fave of mine

Loved this video!

😂 I really enjoyed your Clarence bit

Zack, I didn’t even notice you had made that mistake at 7:55 until you pointed it. Now I can’t stop laughing.

Everyday is leg day when you are running away from your problems.

Klokov's best squat, according to himself (there's no video of it that I know) is 325kg. If that's true, he would actually be the 2nd best squatter in this group.

I've traveled back in time from 2032 to tell you two things. 1: Time travel has been invented. 2: We are still waiting for Klokov's pause to end.

School of champions bulgarian documentary in the background, you are a man of culture.

That fucking scene from School of Champions lmao. Reminds me of your dancing to royalty free disco at Juji and Tom’s

We all love Clarence. Stand up dude and honest AF.
