How come Clarence0 can squat 260kg 5x5 but only squat 300kg as

>>39030853
because 300kg > 260kg? why is this even a question?

Because 300kg is fucking heavy

>>39030853
Are you fucking retarded? What makes you think he should squat more?

>>39030853
>only 300 kg
This site I fucking swear to god.

>>39031327
also halving these numbers to make it more comprehensible for normal dyels - if you can squat 130kg x 5 most likely you'll barelly be able to do 1 x 150kg, so it makes perfect sense.

>>39031347
OP just confirmed he's pathetically dyel.

Even if you calculate the 1RM of 260kg x 5, it is rougly 300 kg.

>>39031347
To further clarify for the vast majority of you guys on here:

>you can squat 60kgx5
Which means
>you could probably squat 70kgx1

Aren't his knees fucked up now?

260 5RM to 300 1RM is nearly an exact Epley ratio

>>39030853
because it's like an extra 80+ fucking pounds you dolt

plus he's a manlet

>>39031407
You can hear clicking everytime he squats

>>39031371
Its not 1x5 its 5x5

>>39030853
>>39031467
>>39031407

serious question, how does he lift so much? is he a super manlet? is he on a shit load of test?

>>39031467
isn't that normal?

>>39031408
Its a 5x5

>>39031503
>reading comprehension
The 1RM of being able to squat 260kg for 5 reps is 300kg. Please leave this site.

>>39031505
I heard he got injured then came back blasting test up his ass

>>39031505

good genetics, talented, one track mind, started training young, started roiding young

unfortunately he's also a faggot and got a lot of injuries due to inexperience and "no pain no gain" mindset

now he has learned, but many suspect it's too late and the damage is already done and he'll never recover it

>>39031454
dude's 6 foot at around 100 kg. what are u talking about?

>>39031517
He didn't squat it for 5 reps once, he did it for 5x5

>>39031531
And tell me how that makes any fucking difference in terms of strength?

>>39031514
For him yes, for you, no

>>39031505
He looks alot more buff now than before his injury, so he could be on roids now.

But he was natty before injury and his stats were about 160/200 @88kg, now its 185/220 @100kg I think, so I dont know. His deadlift was 280kg before injury and now its 330kg :D so maybe on roids, but he had SICK stats as natty kid.

>>39031539
don't you work at 70%/80-90% of 5RM for a 5x5?

>>39031539

Can't tell if trolling. If not, because lifting a heavy set exhausts both your CNS and muscle glycogen and causes muscles soreness all of which result in a temporarily weaker athlete until recovery can take place.

To put it in retard terms: the more sets you do, the harder it gets and the stronger you have to be.

>>39031528
He didnt start roiding young, If you would have seen his ALL videos and his interviews, from the beginning you would know that.
But yeah after his injury he probably went on something, he gained alot muscle and his stats are insane now, but they vere super impressive back then when he was natty too. (280kg deadlift, 162,5kg snatch, 205kg clean, 221kg front squat, 262kg back squat @ 87kg 18years old) etc.

>>39031587
I'm not sure I believe that he was natty just because he said he was

>>39031554
>>39031521
How do you know he was natty before the injury?

>>39031587
is there a video of that 280kg deadlift?

>>39031566
To assume you can squat 5x5 of x-weight if you can squat it 1x5 is not a fucking stretch. Kill yourself you fucking tryhard.

>>39031601
wow, i mean wow. you really think someone would lie about that? what kind of world do you think we live in?

>>39031615

Yes it fucking is you dumb nigger. Maybe if you're a little bitch 60 kg x 5 squatter you might think that, but at heavy weights that is absolutely not a possibility.

I squat in the low 200 kgs for a single set of 5 now. There is no fucking way I could possibly do it for 5 sets. Zero chance. After one set I'm done and can't do another set.

You're literally retarded.

>>39031643
that's because you're beta

>>39031599
>>39031601
Lol, go ask /r/weightlifting or, even Olympic weightlifting threads here, its obivious if you see his progress from the day when he started to going to the gym.

He said on that interview video that he is natty but he would do roids if he got a chance to medals at olympics or smthing like that, and thats why he probably hopped on after injury, and it can be clearly seen from his videos when he started roiding, he couldnt train for long long time after the injury.

You could ask all of the best weightlifters in Ireland and they would tell you he was natty, he has insane genetics and he did squats 6-7x a week, that lead to his injury (too much volume) but it allowed him to gain like crazy for a while.

Seriously if you think clarence was roiding back when he was under 90kg you are delusional and for sure have not been following him, I recommend to check his videos from oldest to latest and wake up. Hes a fkn beast and now on roids I hope to see him in olympics.

>>39031656

>beta
>squatted 202 kg x 5 last week

ya ok

>>39031643
And you are DEMONSTRTIVELY FALSE.

>If I can't do it therefore no one can
You have a very inflated sense of selfworth

>>39030853
Are you fucking retarded OP?
Also, pick related. 5 reps at 260kg plugged into a generic 1RM calculator gives a 1RM of 293kg. Not far off reality and Clarence is probably a bit ahead of the curve.

>>39031327
Ikr?

>>39031615
The more you can exert yourself, the bigger the difference becomes.
Clarence is very strong, so the difference is bigger than someone doing squats with one plate a side.

>>39031612
yes

>>39031669
women squat as much as you, please get over yourself. thanks

>>39031675

I was providing ancedotal evidence to support >>39031566 you dumb nigger.

By your logic if you can squat something 1 x 5, just stay in the gym for 10 hours and do it 999 x 5. It's fine, just do an infinite amount of work. Obviously you can do it if you can do it once.

>>39031663
I see it so often, people underestimate what some individuals can achieve without roids, and the overestimate what people with shit genetics can achieve.
They take the "nobody is a special snowflake" thing too far.

>autism

To assume you can squat the same weight for 5 sets if you can perform 1 set with prober form, is not a fucking stretch you fucking retard.

If you are completely fucking tanked after 1 set of squats, I highly fucking doubt your form is perfect.

>>39031751
Can you use youtube search or google what the fuck? Try Clarence deadlift? Or Clarence 280k deadlift?

>>39031777
>If you are completely fucking tanked after 1 set of squats
That's what a 5RM (rep max) is...

If you aren't tanked afterwards, it wasn't a 5RM, it was just a set of 5.

>>39031713
Matti Rogers squats that much

step your game up little girl

False. Working at 85-87 % of 1RM doesn't completely tank everyone.

>>39031834
We're talking about clarence here, not some novice who squats 1pl8.

>>39031859
And yet he has clearly demonstrated he doesn't.

>>39031587
>He didnt start roiding young, If you would have seen his ALL videos and his interviews, from the beginning you would know that.

sorry I don't fetishize young buff males. But I do know him from his tricking days.

>>39031663
>You could ask all of the best weightlifters in Ireland and they would tell you he was natty

No they wouldnt', because a) it's not true b) everybody knows he already was on orals

>Hes a fkn beast and now on roids I hope to see him in olympics.

That's not gonna happen either sadly, he dun goofed and his injuries set him back a bit too much by this poit

>>39031891
Apparently not.

>>39031711

nobody is saying that he's not talented, and I am not saying that what he was able to do was not possible natty

i am simply stating that he was not natty pre injury, which is a fact

put this in your head (well, not yours specifically, more generally): Clarence was an arrogant fuck convinced he was the best and that he could do anything. That's the entire reason he got injuried in the first place, because he overestimated his skills and his body way too much, even in the face of evidence.

Now he grew the fuck up and he's immensely better, but he was the posterchild of the teenage "hurr durr i'm indestructible" mentality. Let's just say he had his serving of humble pie.

>>39031834
>False. Working at 85-87 % of 1RM doesn't completely tank everyone.

It's almost as if different people have different work capacity, while having similar strength levels

mind blown

>>39031959
Exactly my point. But I guess it's too complicated to comprehend for this guy: >>39031917

>>39031938
>i am simply stating that he was not natty pre injury, which is a fact
You can call it a fact, but unless you have conclusive proof, all we can do is speculate about it.

For the rest of your post, I agree.
But how does that show that he was or wasn't natty?

For the record, I have no clue whether or not he was natty pre-injury.

>>39031971
try squatting more than 1pl8

>>39031989
At least you're not too stupid to lift :^)

He probably uses (close to or bit less) 6RM for 5x5

Nobody can squat 5 sets all at pr weight, so i suspect his true 5RM is around ~270kg
270x5 translates to 300kg max roughly

>only 300kg
Memlad

>>39032091
all this autism in the thread, and it could all be replaced with this one post, kek

>>39031972

Damn had a long reply to you then hit Back and now it's lost. Am faggot.

>You can call it a fact, but unless you have conclusive proof, all we can do is speculate about it.

I know the dude personally, more than I like to admit. Of course, this being the internet, my statement is in no way conclusive proof for you or anybody else, so I encourage you to have your personal opinion on the subject, if you care about it (100% no sarcasm at all)

>For the rest of your post, I agree.
>But how does that show that he was or wasn't natty?

Sorry, I had a brain fart while writing it, so I forgot to explain the connection: it doesn't show nattyness or lack thereof, but it the reason he was claiming "natty but not against use". Of course he would say that, he didn't want anybody to go all "hurr durr you cheater" on him.

Basically:
>be an arrogant faggot, care too much about your image, do stupid shit because you feel indestructible
>shit happens
>eat humble pie, stop giving a fuck about people's opinions and start pursuing your goals more intelligently, stop trying to seem natty or whatever
>profit

Can you see my point now?

>For the record, I have no clue whether or not he was natty pre-injury.

He wasn't. Many of us think that his many injuries were due to his stupid choices of orals (increased muscle recovery, reduced tendon strenght). Keep in mind that y'all only know mostly about his knee tendonopathy and eventual surgery, but he also had tendon pain in his elbows and shoulders for a long time

Afaik he's doing much better now, actually taking advice from knowledgeable people and taking recovery and drugs more seriously. I'm very glad he's less of a faggot now.

>>39032273
I want to believe you, but this could all just be an elaborate lie.
So I'll keep on thinking that I just don't know.
I'll keep what you said in mind though.

>>39032273

That's an interesting take on things, didn't consider that.
Makes sense, too.

I've gotten patellar tendinitis myself, which was due to squatting too often and too much, so it's easy for me to buy the "too high volume squats caused fucked knees" argument from clarence.

>Afaik he's doing much better now, actually taking advice from knowledgeable people and taking recovery and drugs more seriously. I'm very glad he's less of a faggot now.
I don't even care about his oly lifting, I just find his impressive squat and deadlift videos great to watch, and keep up-to-date with.
I'd love to see him get as strong as possible too.

>>39032384
>I want to believe you, but this could all just be an elaborate lie.

Yup.

>So I'll keep on thinking that I just don't know.

A sensible stance to have on teh interwebz

>I've gotten patellar tendinitis myself, which was due to squatting too often and too much, so it's easy for me to buy the "too high volume squats caused fucked knees" argument from clarence.

It's a perfectly valid argument to be honest (although it's not the high volume per se the cause, rather the lack of proper recovery), just not the complete picture in this specific case

>I'd love to see him get as strong as possible too.

Actually, me too. He could make ireland great again
