i do agree with candy that it is extremely unusual to see pro bodybuilders preforming this movement.

Dizzle,you know two things about training..........jack and shit!!

Power cleans aren`t used as much by bodybuilders these days but they can and will put some serious slabs of muscle on your traps,back,lats,erectors as well as forearms and hams.

Old school movement used by tons of guys back in the day to build muscle as well as overall power.

compared to who? Wes has never claimed to be IFBB pro material or a super huge guy by any means, the man does pack some serious size and cuts on that body especially for being in his 50's, the dude looks damn good.

do you understand, like really understand, why your posts used to get bombarded with that picture of you fat and the one of you in a sweater? it's not because you were fat or skinny, but because you are easily amongst the most rockheaded and irritating posters on the site. even when you're caught dead to rights, proven 100% wrong, you act like a little cockbag about it.

admit it. you dedicated a thread practically to arguing with me and others that smith deadlifts were great because you use them, now you're claiming to rely on rack pulls. not to mention you're making the assertion that rack pulls don't use just as many muscles as regular deads, and you're completely wrong.

just act like an adult for once, bud. it'll go a long way.

see what i mean? Pure childish temper tantrum. Just act like a man for once, quit lashing out like a baby. Guaranteed within 6, maybe 8 months you'd get twice the respect you do now.

lord help you if you act like this off the boards, too.

I figure not encouraging them would be a good idea lol. 

I am back to heavy weights (for me, lol) and cleans are always in the rotation.  Heavy cleans and one arm snatches are in the rotation.  I am doing them for strength but they are doing wonders for size.  As JPM, Wes and Coach have said...they do wonders for body size.  Upper body is thick as ever and they hit the biceps too so I don't do any curls.  I focus on strength right now but I run 25 miles a week and have lost no size or weight so I'm good.  Snatches are a great exercise too.

Still big as hell?   ;D

Yeah, I have to do it but I've learned to love it.

Yeah, hang cleans, full cleans, rack cleans, box cleans, etc are all fucking awesome.  Oliva, Schwarzenegger, and Coleman all loved these and used them as a foundation for mass so they are def BBing applicable.  The only thing BBers might worry about is thicker hips throwing off their balance but IMO that can be corrected.  I look at all the athletes I train with and they could step onstage before any of the "BBers" I see in the gym.  Some don't like them, some think they are worthless but they do work.

Trust me Candi, I've trained with chaos...he is a big dude and strong too.
