[wbailey201]

If anybody know could u please tell me what power clean does for a football player....cause i dont see it doing nothing.

Strengthens the back, hips shoulders, upperback, thighs. Teaches explosiveness if performed correctly. Helps with balance, coorination, and over all body control. And can aide in hip flexability and speed. It is a great athletic exercise.

The power clean and the squat are the best two movements for a football player. When a player does a power clean, he starts in a stance that can be seen all over the field. Linebackers, DE's, OL/DL, runningbacks, etc. all have a stance with their legs bent, hips low and ready to explode upward.

The power clean is an EXPLOSIVE movement upward. The players hips come forward, legs extend, and they come up on their calves. Now if you take that same scenario and put it on an angle forward, you've just completed a good block or a good hit.

It really is a good lift.

Helps increase explosion through your hips. Strengthens legs and upper back. Cleans have always been empahsized at MBA by Coach Redmond and have to be a major part of their success as of late.

But it has to be done right...Make sure your not bent over to pick up the weight...Make sure you squat down and pick it up instead of bending over...if you bend over you could seriously injure your back...

The power clean is the closest you can come to actually playing football! Every great player I've coached was good at power cleans !!

Power clean is so helpful because it replicates the exact same body movements on the field. No matter what position, when you hit someone you always get low and shoot your hands and hips into the person. You're basically making the same movements when you hit somebody (correctly) and you power clean. I'm mean what better lift is there to create more explosion and give you power out of you stance?

[Fuggly63]

None. Power clean is hard, but it helps you on the field the most.

Isnt power clean one of if not the most important lift for football players? Because cant you be really strong but lack the explosiveness and not be very good at powercleaning?

I believe it aids in building the "I'm better than you", muscle.

 

You can do squats, bench press, military press, etc...all things that guys do while working out anyway...and get better results.

 

You power clean fanatics...how often do you see guys grab a 300 lb lineman and lift them over their heads...stop sputtering and just answer the question...

 

Replicates football...OMG!!!!
