Cleans

Does anybody do them? And do they have any benefits for hypertrophy? I haven't done them since football but am thinking they may shock my delts and traps a bit.

I was 180 my senior year and 195 my freshman year of college ball.

I was a 1st team all-state safety my senior in Illinois Class 4A for the 2007-2008 school year. Look it up you fat worthless unathletic redneck.

Personally I have always liked all the olympic lifts.

That being said, idk how much they benefit hypertrophy

 

[juggernaut]

They're actually quite good at adding hamstring, delts and trap hypertrophy aside from the many smaller muscle areas being hit indirectly.
I would imagine putting them as your first compound would be a very wise thing to do, starting with 3 to 5x3-5 reps and just continue to better the weight. I also add these as a precursor to deads.

I don't care for them to be honest.

And other reasons why the clean is great...

Cleans are a waste of time.

Cleans are a waste of time.

Why is that? Explain the rationale behind that statement.
