Another top mass producer exercise that BB'ers seldom do. It can become a true full body movement when you include the SQUAT clean and jerk. It is a learning exercise so a little patience will be required at first. Just take a empty bar and do a lot of rep work the first week or so to get the proper form/style of this lift. You also need flexibility, timing and quickness with the C&J. I would think that doing push or jerk presses would stimulate more actual shoulder development that a true jerk off the shoulders. But suit yourself. Do regular BB'ing reps if that is your goal.
BB'ers want to get massive, but quite a few do not want to invest the extra hard effort on the Big Boy exercises. Like C&J's, squats, DL's, power cleans, jerk presses, etc, etc, etc. Too bad, these can offer some excellent and fast muscle gains when done with serious intent.
C&J's (and like exercises) can give exceptional stamina (endurance plus strength) to even the average trainee. A very good cardio workout in it's self. Even a very good movement for most women. Good Luck.
