Title: How much can you power clean and jerk?
Post by: oldtimer1 on November 09, 2009, 05:43:49 PM
How much can you power clean and jerk?  It's so rare to see a dynamic movement like this in any gym.  Everyone is benching and doing curls.  It seems this great display of true power is only popular with college football teams. 

Through the years I always did the typical bodybuilding and power lifts.  When I decided to include power cleans I immediately noticed more spring in my legs.  My sprinting speed and vertical leap increased.

On a good day, 245-255lbs. I'm way out of practice. If I remember correctly, C/J should be around 80% of your squat.

when i competed in high school, i did 290 pounds in the clean and jerk at 195 pounds with a pause bench press of 345.  I would have continued but most gyms wont allow you to clean and jerk and they dont have the right equipment to do it either.

Is there a difference between a clean and jerk and a clean and press?

Olympic lifts in sports is over rated. There are much safer and just as effective ways to train for power other than olympic lifts. When you see high school or even college athletes doing these lifts, they are often done wrong.

To Danimal;


Yes, with the c/j you rebend the knee, duck under the bar and use leg drive to jerk the bar up after the clean. With a c/p, your legs remain locked after the clean. The press must have no leg drive, it's pure upper body.

Haven't a clue - there ain't enough space in our gym to try it out.

Nothing worth bragging about. I only do them a few times a year, but doing some olympic lifts every now and again can be fun.
