explain your dikkriding of the catch phase
the goal of a clean is explosiveness, which the initial pull takes care of. the rest is extra shyt.more than half the difficulty of a clean is the catch and press out
what does this prove? he wouldn't have had to dip so low if he concentrated more on the initial explosion, because he'd have gotten the weight higher up.
yeah. I also co-sign the high pull because it isn't as technical, therefore you can add weight sooner and thus eat off them sooner
so many people get fukked trying to clean, you really need a coach for that lift.

my traps reached new heights once I started high pulls. I feel like I'm walking on air after them also.
reaching down and picking something up is not functional strength? when will you have to press something overhead? if anything THAT is the non-functional aspect.
you can train your stabilizers and balance in other ways. that's why my title begins with "for pure explosiveness..."I see you kids have never done manual labor or worked in a warehouse..
Let me be more clear. You can get stronger technically doing high pulls no doubt. But I train to not only get stronger, but more athletic as well. You build balance, timing, and coordination in the catch and press, not just strength alone. Uncoordinated strength that does not involve other tendons and ligaments is kind of useless
Besides, who picks something up using the same technique done for high pulls? But you will get somewhat stronger doing em though, I can't front.
