>day 1 of power cleans
Unless you want to be an oly lifter there is no point in doing power cleans.

>posting frogs
>doing power cleans
lmao friendly reminder to leave /fit/ asap because its full of disgusting dyel faggots.
I'd like to do some oly lifts, but I feel like it's probably difficult without access to a coach
>>37096900
They look fun and I hate doing rows.
>>37096900
i am laffin
>>37096900
Lets hope you never wanna participate in some kind of sport, fight or all round wellbeing.
Power cleans gets your heart pumping, glutes hams, back and arguably the best exerciser for traps.
>>37096977
Can confirm the trap but it's only if you catch the bar with your shoulders.
op here. that went fucking terribly.
>>37096900
nice bait fagtron
>>37096935
Do they work everything that rows do? Because I fucking hate rows
>>37098533
When done correctly it is a lower body dominant exercise, you use your traps to some extent but because it is a power clean and not a full clean, you use less weight = less need for upperbody strength
>>37098489
Starting to do those types of lifts is hard because there is so much involved in the movement that isn't very obvious from just watching.
>>37098533

it's definitely not a substitute for rows.

read SS for the form advice
I absolutely fucked my lower back doing power cleans. Thought my form was fine, but apparently not. Haven't been able to DL or Squat for weeks as a consequence.
>swapping power cleans with pendlay row
can i

>Rippletit's back exercise in his routine is actually another lower body exercise
>SS won't make you T Rex
>>37099195
Yes. But then you're basically doing stronglifts.
>>37099202
Well olympic lifters compete with snatch and clean&jerk, which are both lower body dominant exercises. And the most important accessory exercises are squats and pulls, which are also lower body dominant movements. But i don't think that many would say that oly lifters look like a t-rex
SS has actually lots of upperbody stuff for a strength trainee desu compared to other sports

thanks bro
>>37099294
How bad is it, if my heels start to come off the floor before the bar makes contact?
>>37099202
I didn't know chinups were a lowerbody exercise.
>>37099370
Inefficient for power generation and bar path.
Work on your tempo and technique.
They're fun as fuck. Power cleans + chinups is a million times better than just rows.
>>37099294
I must have long arms, if I start my jump at mid-thigh I just hop backwards.
I just tried exploding just above knees and it works a lot better. I worry that it's dangerous for my back though.
I watched Rip's and Thrall's demos and neither worked right until i jumped lower.
>>37099456
rows suck anyway m8
chinups/pullups and power cleans is gud
>>37100235
Widen your grip a bit.

>>37099294
You got one for power snatches?
>>37100565
Not yet, but you can watch https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGYKQZg-b1FYhl4P8OnCd_C2v2tjOC55X
It's for the full snatch, but the fundamentals are the same.
>>37100588
Thanks lad, seems like this could even teach a /plg/ tard like myself how to use the body.
