Thread: Cleans ?

Personally, I hate them. I dislike the feel of going from a lift to a push. It just feels unsafe.

Plus, because of the mechanics, you are limited in the weight that you can use. I gave them up and do Military Presses and Deadlifts. Individually, I can use more weight.

Cleans are great. I do them with or without the squat. With the squat before doing my normal squats on leg day. Without the squat on shoulder and trap day. I'm kinda weak in the shoulders and for me the clean has strengthen my shoulders so I have been able to increase my bench press. Cleans are a very good overall strengthening exercise.

Peace

i do em on leg day also.

ok cool, thanks for the input all. I think i am going to do them after my squats to start with, since i'll be useing much lighter weight to start and i will probably to 2-3 sets. My next leg workout is Friday so i am just gonna have to see how it goes.
thanks

Right now I'm currently doing them on my back day.

I don't do them at all. Cleans and Squats to make up for them on leg day.

So you're saying you don't do cleans at all, but you do Cleans and Squats on leg day to make up for not doing cleans?

Am I the only one that finds that confusing?

You must be, obviously they meant that..............um..........er..........

Hey KarlW what's up? Have you taken a look at my journal at all? Seems to be going pretty well. I am making slow progress on my back, there's some more definition there then before, well, I probably shouldn't go on as to hijack the thread
