“The king of all exercise - the clean”

“The king of all exercise - the clean”

“The ‘king of all exercises’ contains two classic exercises, the deadlift and the squat, and is itself a component of another classic, the clean and jerk. .
This classic of strength and power demands as much speed, flexibility, coordination, balance, accuracy, as any sport and at higher reps is a better cardiovascular stimulus than bicycling.

The clean, both an end and a means, marks the point where weight training becomes sport. As hard to master as the violin, every minute of practicing and training for this move is a minute well spent.”
