I've lost about 20lb of flabs since my "chubby" video...  in 8 months but I don't really give a shit, switched to light beer and do a little cardio

Enjoying life

Power cleans obviously grow big bodies which is evident in college and pro football.  Those guys put on mass faster than anyone I've ever seen.

I've seen maybe 3 people in my life doing power cleans and none of them were MMA.  Most of those guys stick to machine movements, Bench press and bicep curls.

I think the biggest problem with the C/J, Snatch, etc.... is that people, personal trainers, mainstream magazines, try to recast these exercises as general purpose exercises, and they don't truely understand them.

The Power Clean, C/J, etc..... are exercises that need to be trained with relatively heavy weight, in low rep ranges, to have the most effect.

That was my original point... every once in a while, there's a wave of "resurgence" of a given excercise and the skinny fats jump on it like it's a new discovery

Brutal re-inventing the wheel...

Definitely.  Anyone with an athletic background has done these at some time or another (HS, College, etc) and realize they are useful. 

I've found that underhand rows are the new favorite of the trainers at my gym.

exactly

the power clean (as the name implies ) is a power exercise, not endurance. it is meant to be performed expolosively and briefly.
