You guys have me motivated...since i love deadlifts and squats....i will try to start power cleans.
But question from a complete novice. It is a combo lift working what...glutes, hamstrings, quads, lower back, traps, some shoulders? So should i space this out from my deadlift and legs day? or should i combine it with either?
Posterior chain mostly. (Glutes, Hams, Quads) The shoulder/trap part of it is a reflexive movement. You shouldnt be thinking about shrugging the bar. It just happens naturally.
Seriously though, start off with the hand version. The initial pull from the floor is where most problems originate, and if theres a problem with that part of the movement it cascades into the rest, screwing the whole exercise up.
Do you deadlift and squat on the same day? I typically have a day of plymoetric, explosive movements and do them on that day. You can do them before squats or before deadlifts, just dont do them after.
Thanks man repped.
I normally do deadlifts on their own day. Deadlifts, box jumps, and some calves to finish it out. But legs day il do Squats, calves, lunges, stiff leg DL. So i will throw them in before deadlifts see how it goes.
