Reminder that the powerclean without being in a professional sport is the fedora of lifts
>easy to learn but cleanfags claim it's difficult to learn and master >you look like a retard doing them >literally do nothing for aesthetics >literally no reason to do them unless in a professional sport and even then it's debatable >any muscle the exercise hits can be hit way better by something else >people who actually do SS without swapping them for rows widely regarded as retards >most people do them to feel like athletes despite never competing in anything or playing a professional sport >pic related, girls will consider you weird for doing such a dumb pointless exercise

Powerclean has never been one of the fundamental barbell exercises, according to a far-reaching consensus of virtually everyone who has ever existed. So I guess in that sense I would agree that it's a waste of time
Jose Fisher
it's been a while since I've seen that pic
Ayden Nelson
I do them for fun on my rest days, fight me.
Owen Parker
Who cares if they're pointless for non athletes? Being able to lift more than 2/3/4 plates on the big 3 is pretty pointless as well but that shouldn't stop you from pursuing big numbers if that's what you enjoy.
Dylan Moore
Get to work your legs without looking gay what's the problem?
Justin Young
I'll continue doing them just to upset fags like you.
Leo Harris
>squats >deadlifts >looking gay
Nicholas Green
With what should I replace them in an Arnold split?
Blake Brown
Fucking kek. Sure you look like an autist when you're cleaning 40kg as a warm up, but when you start driving 130kg, 140kg up at the speed of light, you suddenly don't look so autistic.
Stay mad OP

Jacob Wood
I don’t do cleans but they look pretty fun and manly desu.
Thomas Moore
Cleans are pointless if you don't compete in any sport
Also manly? Get out of here with that shit. Manliness is having a cock and a y chromosome, not doing certain exercises over other certain exercises.
Adam Ramirez
>manly
Masculinity = being a male. Nothing is "manly" except testosterone and having male sex characteristics.
Brody Gutierrez
>what exercises you do doesn't mater man it doesn't make you more or less manly >yeah but you totally should do this exercise, it makes you look stupid and girls won't like it!!
Brainlets, kek
Xavier Long
>he doesn't even do power cleans
Enjoy being a weak faggot with no traps.
Levi Powell
you cant possibly be this stupid
Kayden Peterson
I dont know if youre trolling or not. Personally, power cleans have been the number one exercise in building my shoulders. I still do them.
Ian Foster
I dunno man. They're fun and look impressive if you can clean a lot of weight. Also, if you do heavy oly your neck & traps will get yoked.
Daniel Reyes
Power cleans are giving me nice neck and trap gains yeah I did heavy squats yesterday, my legs and glutes are DOMmed out rn; gonna do back tonight and also throw in some power cleans... is that a good idea pls respond
Gavin Scott
I don't know your routine, so I can't say whether it's a good idea or not. My experience is with SS / Texas Method / bulgarian-style oly. My only advice to you would be to do the power cleans first thing, before you do any heavy compound lifts or volume back work.
James Peterson
And I should add that yeah, if you did heavy squats yesterday, you should be fine to do some power cleans today as long as you do them first thing.
Juan Peterson
There's a calisthenics faggot that goes to my gym that wears a super fucking tight wife beater despite being DYEL and compression leggings under his shorts.
If he's not swinging about on the bars like a spacker monkey he's doing power cleans and making a shit load of noise with his shit weight.
Annoying cunt, glad I barely see him
Angel Fisher
much obliged user, gonna hit dem power cleans in a little bit!
