Reply With QuoteWell, it's easier to do direct serious damage by doing deadlifts than by doing power cleans, but power cleans are far more technical and should only be used if coached IMO. Deadlifts are easier on the form aspect (eventhough most people do them wrong or use too much weight).

Am I missing something?
Some very good friends were visiting over the Thanksgiving weekend. Their 16 year old son was with them and he and I started talking about routines. He in a weightlifting class at school. They workout four days a week, one hour per session. My routine was:
Monday & Thursday
Bench
Triceps extensions
Rows or Pulldowns
Barbell curls
Tuesday
Squats
Calf raises
Friday
Deadlifts
Calf raises
He told me his gym teacher wouldn't let them do deadlifts because he didn't want to take a chance on them getting hurt by doing such an explosive movement. But after further questioning I found out one of the movements they have to do to pass the class is Power Cleans. WHAT? Deads are too explosive but he's got them doing Power Cleans? What am I missing here?
Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

It could be that his teacher is a moron.
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

At least the gym teacher is trying here, mine always just sat on the bench struggling to breath from being so out of shape while having us play floor hockey or some crap.

No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

Did the kid say that had to clean body weight or just some low amount of weight that wouldn't cause damage if it was done with poor form?
