So why don’t “odd lift” guys do weightlifting ? Like seriously, you want to see functional strength...

Also
Lol

>b-but look at this anecdote

hes a genetic freak and is also like 5% bf

Which one do you think translates more to sports performance ?

You don't know how to read

Also the cleans and jerk is a full body, full kinetic chain movement that uses maximal power output. The bench is a isolation movement that exemplifies power in the upper extremities.

You’re seriously going to sit here and tell me weightlifting has no use other than for weightlifters.

You're fucking completely retarded dude. You better be blazing it up like your stupid reddit frog there because if this is your normal behavior you must have a bushman IQ. At no point in any of my exactly 2 posts did I say the bench press was more functional than the clean and jerk or that weightlifting has no usages outside weightlifting. You've made 7 posts in your own 15 post thread, and at least 5 of them were strawmans

K

Also the only way to denounce a strawman is to tear it apart.

I LITERALLY said in that post that the clean and jerk was more functional and you fail to understand that both here and here

My response to you is the clean and jerk is more functional than the bench press

X being more functional than x in no way makes it functional.

You need to write more coherently.

Lmao b, you dont lift. Catch ya l8tr, little man

>implying weightlifters build their body with the classics rather than traditional exercises

>implying weightlifters do zercher squat thrust planks

There's a different between normal hypertrophy exercises and meme "odd" lifts like OP said, go back to your crossfit gym faggot.

>functional strength, try doing a 400lb clean and jerk.
exactly how does that help your every day life? what actions through your day are made significantly easy by a being able to do a 400lb clean and jerk.
functional strength refers to usable strength

Sports performance

and what sport do you that it improves?

Literally all sports will benifit from the classic lifts.

Odd lift guys are weirdos within a sub community of weirdos who also have a superiority complex and since they've realised they be close to the best in something mainstream retreat into obscure lifts to validate themselves.

Lol

What sport benefits from an athlete getting a 300lbs clean and jerk to 400lbs?

Remember that that will take a lot of specialised training, many years, much high injury risk because the weight is so much more and the training more voluminous and possibly not doing their actual sport.
