Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 11 | I think that they should be done occasionally. I read somewhere that it isn't true that olympic lifts are more explosive...because you can make any lift explosive. And I personally don't do them always because I know for sure my form isn't 100% perfect because I was never taught them and I know if I go heavy, I'm going to most likely injure myself. |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 7 | Olympic lifts are great at increasing strength and power, but on the downside they are extremely difficult to do even with proper form also they are extremely dnagerous. Personally I stay away from Olympic lifts but incorporate strength training in other various ways.

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 160 | If you don't do olympic lifts (specifically the big three), you're not really lifting weights  Cleans and the likes are debatable. I think there is a point when the movement becomes ''too compound''.

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 3 | I don't, but would like to use them. There are no coaches around to check my form and I would like to know if I'm doing them right. I think for sports training that they would be ideal for explosiveness. |
