Ive played sports (mainly football, American that is) so power cleans have been kinda second nature to me since I was young.
I've tried teaching other adults but they're simply never gotten the hang of it.
I look at it in three parts
Deadlift, clean, and front squat
Try what is called hang cleans or half cleans for a while. Then try with just the bar.
The key is to explode from the top of the deadlift, what's called a "triple extension"
Make sure you use rubber weights, and I'd suggest finding a coach in your area.
>>37793457
Newfag, what's up with the pic?
Absolutely and calisthenic an un/fit fag can't do.
They can look at weight, and say "wow that looks heavy," but they don't KNOW how heavy it is. "Wow that might have took alot of work to get there, but you might have grew up on a farm or something."
What does it mean to a normie when you say, "I just finally started benching 225." Nothing.
>Human flag
>Muscle up
>Handstand pushup
Anything that they can attempt right NOW, and immediately know how difficult it is, is the most alpha of exercises.
Especially if there's an audience.

>being "in the loop" in terms of memes

Ancient Chinese secret.
>>37793496
What fucking loop? It's just a picture of an infamous neckbeard next to a handsome dude.
Just learn to do a muscle ups for the normies, and do all the other exercises for yourself
it isn't that hard
>>37793548
no its summer meme is so dank you cant even tell if bait or newfag
Maybe next time you respond to someone asking "whats up" with a particular pic you won't just spit out retarded millenial lingo you autistic fuck baby. Why couldn't you just say "It's just a picture of an infamous neckbeard next to a handsome dude"? fuck i hate people who use anime pictures

Ayyy
alpha: curls
beta : squats

>>37793873
>tfw nobody will ever love you like she could
I want off this ride
Alpha: The Press
Beta: assisted pull ups
>>37792749
>weighted dips
Squat or overhead press. Most essential movements for overall strength. Probably squat.
There's an infinite tie for beta based on some of the shit I see at the gym.
>>37792603
Alpha: Clean and jerk/deadlift
Beta: curls/shrugs/those shitty wrist curls faggots do while they hog up a bench
>>37794976
What is it with the weighted dips thing, why wouldnt you do it? Instead of doing 30 reps before failure?
Alpha: fucking DEADLIFTS
Beta: Cardio
>>37792603
Either press or push press.
Sit ups
>>37792785
>pic unrelated. It's a snatch.

It's a fucking meme,

>>37793484
The clean isn't an explosive deadlift. You have to maintain a very upright torso even in the bottom position in order to generate a powerful triple extension (you are always in a "power position" this way).
You also mention a triple extension but don't make it clear what it is. Is he just supposed to guess? It's an extension at the hip, knee, and ankle FYI. It may be evident to you now that not every clean o snatch needs a triple extension. The more powerful ones do.
A triple extension applies to any sport where you have to run or generate any kind of speed (swimming included) but you can't neglect the negative, or a triple flexion otherwise you end up without decent recovery back into a power position.

I would consider deadlifting the ultimate beta lift.

>>37792603
>What's the most Alpha exercise?
Barbell hip thrusts.
>What's the most Beta exercise?
Assisted anything
>>37796080
>takes no technical skill to perform
Must be why I see almost everybody at the gym pull deads with shit form even with light weight.
>>37793491
children can do calisthenics, gymnastics, acrobatics etc. The distinction between adult males and everyone else is in absolute strength.
as long as there's a meaningful measure of that strength like lifting one end of a car then strength wins out over skill.
also acrobatics etc. has very little practical application and is mostly about showing off, whereas if you can lift one end of a car that shows control over your surroundings.
that said people respect skill so it isn't entirely one way or the other.
>>37793806
one-armed chin ups and muscle-ups are impressive if you're heavy.
>>37793441

Abs are built by real exercise and low bodyfat.

The technical skill involved in performing a deadlift correctly is often overstated, however, your post is a great one-way ticket to picrelated
