There's nothing to discuss. Might as well /thread your own post cause it's true.
>>34881249
they're different exercises that work different aspects of your physique
>>34881347
Wait you are saying that different exercises work out different body parts in different ways!!!!!
>>34881249
Power cleans are high risk low reward exercises for retarded Olympic Weightlifting pansies
>>34881347
mind=blown
>>34881377
Incorrect.
Of course the meme exercise from a silly book is /fit/ and the standard back exercise is le reddit xB

no point unless you're going to switch to olympic lifting when you get stronger
you faggots do them just because that texas fatfuck said so
>inb4 hurrdur you think you smarter than Rip?
he is a faggot who thinks he's smarter than all the other strength coaches
when in fact he hasn't produced a single succesful "athlete" with his shitty programs
(his books are only good to teach you proper form for basic stuff)
stay small, buddy

...he typed, and after pausing for the briefest of moments, hit the submit button.
He sighed deeply. After staring at his keyboard for what seemed a very long time, he took a moment to look around his modestly sized attic "apartment."
He allowed his eyes to wander past the detritus and partially eaten food littering his desk, to the cunny pictures adorning each wall. Mother never came up here anymore, so he could be as open about his fetish as he wanted, safe in his womb-like sanctuary.
Finally, his gaze returned to his computer. His finger hovered above the mouse button for what seemed an eternity, and then...
Click.
The window was closed. /fit/ was gone.
"It's been a good run," he said aloud. His voice cracked from emotion and disuse.
He stood slowly, plump legs quivering with the effort. After pouring himself a glass of boxed wine, he took his fedora off of its rack in the corner of the room and raised a toast to himself.
"To the future," he said, a single tear running down his pimpled, greasy cheek.
I love power cleans. Mostly because it's as close as I'll ever come to oly since there's no one around me that does it.

I don't understand why it's power cleans vs rows
They are two completely different exercises
>>34886436
Man you're a smart one.
>>34886374
how are bent over rows shit ?
they hit your back well, if thats what you want then its a good exercise, if it doesnt fit your routine dont do them.
fucking retard
>>34884603
Here's your (you)
ITT people post their backs along with their back training preferences
>>34886459
You sound new to lifting.
>>34881249
My program doesn't have any olympic movements, but it does have some sort of row.
Unless... You're not still doing some sort of LP are you anon?
ITT people who are emotionally attached to certain exercises.
Power cleans= if you're an athlete or you like to play sports that require lower body power
Rows=If you're a normie that just wants to look good
Rows = manlet
PCs = average/tall
>>34881488
They were never fucking funny.
Here's an old favourite back routine of mine, if anybody wants to give it a run:
Start with Power cleans. Work up to a top set of 5-6 reps.
Add weight to the bar.
Do a couple of sets of high pulls to chest height (or continue doing power cleans but dip lower in the catch because you can't pull the heavier weight as high).
Add weight to the bar.
Do a couple of sets of high pulls to abs height.
Add weight to the bar.
Do a couple of sets of deadlifts.
Remove some weight from the bar.
Finish with 2-4 sets of Bent-over rows.
This is a very fun way to train because you just keep piling on the weight and you only have to do a couple of sets of a given exercise so it's not very psychologically draining. Completely fries the entire back.

hello newfag
>>34888467
He's right, they weren't funny, they were relatable, i used to share those pics on fb because i could relate to some of the situation, not because i actually laughed at them.
Power cleans gave me mad footwork power,jumping speed and height,running feels like flying and my hands and total body are more agile.Also give you good traps if you get strong enough on them.
>>34888484
>i used to share those pics on fb
Quit reading right there.
>>34881377
>powerlifting pleb detected
>>34888590
Not even saying hurr durr normie. I have a Facebook. If some faggot was posting race comics on my feed I would lose a little respect for him/her.
power cleans = shitty for everything aesthetiics related
rows = nice thick back (but pullups are king)
>>34888796
I'd do the same now, but back in the day people loved them, everyone used to put likes and re-share them, it wasn't really a faggy thing, at least among my friend list.
>>34888858
Well you're friends sound gay like you. Nah joking, I cringe thinking of the memes I used to make back in the day. And as someone pointed out I feel Pepe and Wojak will be that same feeling in the future.
>>34888888
>that get
future being told right here
>>34888838
That's just wrong. But nothing keeps you from doing both, like this guy >>34888457
>>34881377
Cleans are useless unless you play a contact sport that requires explosion. If you don't have a gym where you can just drop the weights you can fuck up your hands big time catching the bar on the way down when you get to heavy weights. Did it once doing hang cleans. Never again. I like cleans too but they offer almost nothing. Once you fuck up your hand, there goes your gains everywhere else.
High risk. Very low reward and unnecessary for the average lifter.
>>34888918
I feel like I can jump higher when I got my weight up.
>>34886406
>not knowing Wojak
THAT FEEL WHEN NO GIRLFRIEND
>>34888918
even then, if you have a trap bar, dumbbells or a weighted vest you can still do explosive jumps, which is much safer and much easier to learn
>>34881377
>I cant do this
>this is bad
have fun with your 5x5 pleb
>>34888888
>>34888888
Well, half of its value was in the novelty. It was fresh and not everyone was spamming it. When people start spamming it the idea gets removed from what it represents. (They call this "semantic stretching") For example, the mainstream pepes that people post are things that people within the original subculture of 4chan don't really identify with, or think is silly.
We see it as a bastardization of our own special culture.
Who can blame them though, because we're pretty funny. Can't get mad at them because it's the natural cycle of memes to go mainstream. Just enjoy it while it's fresh and mourn it when the uninitiated adopt it.
>>34888924
You did. And jumping is only useful in sports. If you do not play sports, you risk high injury for the sake of jumping high which is illogical.
>>34889027
I don't play sports formally but ball on the negros at my apartment.
ITT /fit/ discusses the future of memes

I think gym bully is really going to take off this spring.
>>34889137
Fedora memes are slowly dying out.
>>34889456
>having this little faith in a quality meme
Do you even know who you're talking to? I am the fedora King. I created weighted dips, alan thrall, clips on warmup sets, carry on with your isolated movements, black coffee cowboy, cold showers, cals in cals out dildos in dildos out, and much more that has yet to be released. I have 8 more scheduled to go live in December. I created the fucking fedora file naming convention, fedoraXXX.jpg. I created sophisticated satire intimidates me. You don't even know fedora. You're a filthy meme stealing worm. So why don't you show some fucking respect you fuck.
Power cleans are fun and rows are boring as shit.

Fit banters and pushes you to try harder. Both good and bad advice appears, but it's up to you to learn to differentiate for yourself.
/r/fitness will lie to you sweetly and give mostly bad advice. It's a hugbox that champions mediocrity.
>>34889704
Agreed. r/fitness will have like a daily post of 'I went to the gym for the first time' or 'too scared to go into free weight area'.
Also /fit/ is way funnier.
I do power cleans because I feel like it has good carry over to strongman plus I've been power cleaning for 2yrs cause of high school football coach had us do them...I also like them cause I can power clean 315lb
>>34889871
Post vid.
>>34889959
I was actually lying.
>>34889959
Not him, but my highschool did them. Most people were roiding and our school ALWAYS swept the state weight meets. I know a guy that weighed 155 and cleaned 315 at 17 years old.
>>34890218
Okay actually I was making that up, we never went to state but still power cleans are good.
>>34890021
>>34890283
Apex kek
>>34890283
Not me.
>>34890218
Is true.
>>34890419
Okay I gotta come clean guys. It was actually me but we almost went to state one time and this one guy could power clean like 2pl8s without straps.
