Clarence's quads have their own area code.

It's so weird seeing Clarence Kennedy in HD lol

[jamesgearyjames]

My man throwing 40kg around like its a foam noodle

[stephenmartinez]

The constant reflection on Clarence's glasses makes him look like an anime villain

[OmarIsuf]

The first informative video from my collab with Clarence Kennedy is here! A complete breakdown of the snatch as taught by Clarence. It's almost 20 minutes long (and this is considered the short version). I've included timestamps in the description for those that want to jump to certain parts. There is A LOT of information in here (took us damn near two full days to shoot/edit/upload) so don't be overwhelmed. Watch it a few times or in chunks.

If you enjoyed this free content make sure to give the video a like and subscribe to Clarence's channel. Huge shout out to my Coach, Clarence for doing this. Coming up we have a full Clean & Jerk tutorial (and Clarence critiquing my lifts). Stay tuned! What questions do you guys have?!

[wenjizeng]

Damn harry potter's been hitting the iron hard

[davidepannone]

This is one of the best oly weightlifting vids on youtube. Seriously.

[brianparker]

Damn bro....that was one of the most raw informative, step by step tutorials I’ve seen. Learned a lot from it.

[landowar]

We gotta remember Clarence overhead squatted 140 kg when he was 16/17 years old.

[camerongray]

Clarence has such amazing PHYSIQUE! He is insanely strong but he doesn’t look like the fricken Michelin man

[zebes]

Ask Clarence for a spell for calves gains

I'm getting burnt out on powerlifting so I just started getting coached on Olympic lifting today to switch things up and keep my training fun. After about an hour we worked up to hanging full snatches with 95lbs(very light for me). The drills to get there and the sheer amount of time bracing my core and gripping the bar had me exhausted by the end. Also, I'm a powerlifter so this was a lot of cardio for me.

I'm stoked to see how well my strength transfers into these more technical lifts once I get them dialed in. Thanks for the years of quality content because I knew exactly where to look for supplemental coaching.

[MatiasStrengthCoach]

Awesome to have Clarence in your channel, he's very knowledgable and ridiculously strong. Been getting into Oly Lifting myself and this has been very helpful, keep it up brah

[NineInchFailz]

I just started going to the gym about 6 months ago. I’m super nervous to attempt this but I’ve always been so fascinated by this move. Thanks for the vid, I’m a little more confident now

[ingrainedcyclist]

That fast snap of his hips makes me worry about whoever gets in his bedroom lol. Awesome tutorial.

[RLMitchell]

This is without a doubt the best snatch tutorial video that exists. Even if you have a coach it's worth watching this video for the different drills that can be done.

[AlejandroTaylorEscribano]

He’s moving that barbell around like it doesn’t weigh anything

[punkadjacent]

I haven't seen so many snatches since my high school gradualtion party

[kakashihatake]

No need for time stamps Omar WE ALL gonna watch the full vid
