The Power Clean & Push Jerk

The Olympic lifts and their variations are well known for increasing power, strength, and speed. This classic movement is traditionally an excellent test of overall strength. Performed at higher reps, it becomes an extraordinary metabolic challenge, as evidenced by max heart and respiratory rates. Every major muscle and joint in the body must work in a coordinated effort to make the lift successful.
