Re: Powercleans for muscle building?

[Guest guest]

---Eugene, Powercleans will help you develop your physique, but not

necessarily in the way you intend. It probably won't give you a

bodybuilder like physique, unless you include other lifts. But it

will develop a well balanced physique, as it will force your body to

work in a coordinated effort to achieve a powerful extension of the

body in order to seperate the barbell from the floor. You may not get

as big as a bodybuilder, but you will function better.
