The Power Clean Quotes
The Soviets did a study about the correlation between maximum Olympic lifts and assistance exercises. The first four lifts with “highest correlation” for helping on the competition platform were:
Power Clean
Power Snatch
Clean
Overhead Squat
An article on one of America’s lifting superstars once summarized his secret with this wonderful line: “through extensive work on the powerclean had laid the foundation for John Terpak’s versatile athletic success.”
The Russians noted in the 1970′s that, simply, “A lifter must do many power cleans and squats to succeed.”
I’m also convinced that power cleans are one of the “secrets” to gaining muscle weight.

I don’t give a stuff if people think the Squat is the “King of Lifts”- the Power Clean is the Daddy of them all! Show me someone who can squat their bodyweight- plenty in many gyms. Show me someone who can squat 2xBWt- quite a few around too. Now show me how many regular gym trainers that can PC their Bodyweight? Even better show me how many can PC twice their BWt?
