    Today I had to pull a 130 lb mastiff off my little 10lb family dog on a walk so he didn't get killed. It happened super quick but I honestly credit all the powercleans I've been doing lately for being able to react quick and with enough force that it couldn't do anything more than superficial damage. Power is so useful and the woman walking the dog didn't have the power she needed to handle her dog. You never know when its needed but being capable of handling problems as they appear is very comforting.

    The Barbell Logic guys are not too keen on power cleans... they can take it or leave it.
    Those guys are watering down the Starting Strength logic big time in order to please audiences where they give talks or conferences... Rip here keeps being a great pillar of stability compared to those guys, they say thing when someone doest like a thing, wants to substitute a ting, or doesn't want to do hard shit, like "well, [look at one another nervously and fast] as long as you can still deadlift and if...."
    Their Nocibo effect is huge since getting under the bar is already hard mentally for most people once you get past 1.5 BW... recently they are answering questions and said some shit like, "If you are a runner I don't see why you should or ned to lift lie a powerlifter, if your sport's requirements ...... in a flash many people thought well I don't really need to get THAT strong then, I can scale it down to "my needs" Recently too they are emphasising the assistance lifts over the lifts for "medium or advanced" lifters; "If you're training the squat for example, you're training your WEAKEST point in essence, same with the other lifts..." So then, chains, deficit this or that, etc

    I go to a huge gym in CT. At the current time, I'm the only person doing power cleans in that gym. In the 10 years I've been going there, I can count on one hand how many people I've seen doing full squat cleans... and that's being generous. It's a shame, because it's one of the best overall movements and the difficulty of learning it is part of the appeal. I see all of these guys with little traps doing useless shrugging. Do heavy power cleans for a few years and you'll have some beastly traps. I'm 56 now at 178lbs and I can power clean close to 200lbs. I plan on doing it until my age and joints prohibit me.

      Hey man! I'm researching these types of videos on UA-cam and TikTok because I want to add to my strength training program (consists of just bodybuilding and powerlifting exercises) more diversity by adding plyometrics, "power" exercises / oly lifts, stretching and other fun stuff like that.
      I'm wondering because I'm not a professional Olympic lifter I'm not gonna be doing every single variation of the clean and jerk and snatch, like power versions, hang versions, off the blocks, heavy days, light technique days.
      So i was wondering because you seem to have history doing these things and are more experienced than me that could you tell me which of these lifts really give you the most bang for your buck? Like are snatches more beneficial than cleans, or are you better off doing cleans or power cleans and jerks, because it gets very confusing with the amount of variations😅. And also how do you program these lifts? What kinda progression you use? What about reps and sets? General tips?
      Some background info, I'm 6'5/195cm 17yo from Finland with long femurs so squatting full depth with a bar can be challenging front or back squat style if i want to maintain good form. Of course mobility work would at least help this issue or heel wedges / Olympic lifting shoes maybe.
      I know this is a lot and I'm sorry for that but nevertheless I'm very thankful if you even read this far and took time out of your day to write a response, have an amazing day sir!

    • @glossfloss1
      @glossfloss1 5 років тому +8

      @@Luke41lol The power clean doesn't measure force production, as force production is best measured by the slow lifts. The power clean measures *power* production in the clean, i.e. fast force production. The question is whether the power clean actually develops power, or merely displays it, since power is a function of strength (trainable) and acceleration (not very trainable).
      In terms of light pulling, I think for most, it's too light to serve as a deadlift assistance exercise. If the goal is to increase the deadlift, I'd rather do SLDLs, RDLs, Rack pulls, paused pulls, deficits, etc.

    I honestly don’t understand the benefits of power cleans for non-athletic people. It just seems like complication for the sake of complication. Once the deadlift cannot be trained every session, wouldn’t it be better to use Barbell Rows? You might say “Rows aren’t trainable to the same extent as squats and deadlifts,” but I say so what? The Rows would be replacing Power Cleans, which have similar limits to their lifetime trainability. I just don’t see the reward for all of risk the Power Clean brings to the table.

      I was F'ing around with cleans for a year or two. Never quite got the technique right, off the floor, to really make progress. Occasionally the catch would be weird, and I'd think how lucky I was to never hurt myself.
      Finally my luck ran out, and the bar was too far out to catch it crisply on my delts, and I instead caught 215 in my fingertips and F'd my wrist.
      Damned thing took most of a year to heal to 95% and it's made me swear off proper cleans. Now I just do high pulls & get most of the same explosive benefits, without most of the same technique + risk concerns.

You have to pick several indicator movements and track progress there, but it really isn't all that complex beyond that, assuming you're keeping records. All of this, of course, assumes you have the strength and coordination levels to make power training worth while. The stupidity of it is people who are overweight and unathletic, running SS with a 135 squat, trying to worry about their ability to "express power athletically" or some bullshit to that direction

    The Big 4 (and accessories like the way Reynolds teaches Pendlay's rows) can be done slowly (by choice or not), and they can more importantly be learned autodidactically. So for more technical and dynamic lifts like cleaning and snatching, what's the prescription? Is a coach necessary (considering most of the technique process for oly lifting is in the first year according to Feigenbaum and Baraki, past that muscle cross-sectional area is what matters)? Could someone competently teach themselves? Should they? And how should they?

      @@reanetsemoleleki8219 Iron plates work fine, especially when you're learning, and I can count on one hand how many times I've used a platform. You can stack plates, blocks, yoga pads etc. up to get the bar to the right height until you can use 45s.

      @@KriegWaters hey, thanks for replying. My concern was never getting the bar high enough. It's dropping the bar (not throwing, I mean a controlled drop). My understanding is that this is necessary for back safety. Admittedly I never looked into the validity of that because it made intuitive sense. Can I power clean without dropping the bar for the rest of my lifting career?

      Duke Of Istria What does that translate into? If you are already lifting weights, what additional benefits does power cleaning provide besides increasing your injury risk if you aren’t an athlete? I increased my power clean from 90 kg to 130 kg and I can’t say that made any significant change on anything that I do outside of power cleaning. My vertical is the same as it was when I started.

    • @williambrown7437
      @williambrown7437 5 років тому +1

      Duke Of Istria They build very little muscle compared to other lifts like the squat, deadlift, rows, bench, ohp, etc. If your goal is to build muscle you are much better off spending your time on these lifts. You won’t see bodybuilders or strongmen doing snatches because they don’t build an appreciable amount of muscle compared to just about any other lift.

    • @williambrown7437
      @williambrown7437 5 років тому +2

      Duke Of Istria How does that speed and coordination translate to any other skills? There’s insufficient evidence that the clean and snatch increase your speed and coordination in other activities. If you have evidence to the contrary I’d love to see it.

  • @HAL-dm1eh
    @HAL-dm1eh 5 років тому +4

    While I'm sure it is highly beneficial for general athleticism, you don't need to power clean to get strong, especially if you're already doing rack pulls and shrugs as an intermediate. The low bar squat is technical enough and the dogmatic dictating manner in which it is insisted as part of the program most certainly turns a lot of people off completely that could otherwise do the SS program with high bar.
    The power clean is even more a technical exercise, and most trainers don't know how to coach it properly. Telling them they must learn, then charging a lot of money for seminars you have to travel the world to get to, so that you probably won't get to be a certified SSC anyway, doesn't help.
    If you were a little less dogmatic and dictating about your program (and diet, but i'm not going there) it would be a lot more beneficial to a lot more people.
