Favorite Mass Builder

[SaiBoT]

It's an amazing experience going from a lousy, clunky bar to a quality olympic bar if you're doing cleans. You could equate it to getting out of a Volkswagen to take a Porsche for a spin.

Once I trashed my right wrist over this, to the point I quitted doing cleans for almost a year, it sucked.

Yeah, I know the feeling...done it myself.

When you've used a high quality bar there is no going back either.

POWERLIFTERS squat, bench, dead, in that order

WEIGHTLIFTERS snatch, clean and jerk, in that order

I'm talking about the clean and press or if you like the clean and push press, which does not require you to be a weightlifter or a powerlifter.

It is a compound move and it is an exercise that allows you to use a great amount of weight in a way that will effect everything.

Leg press lets you move a metric ton in some gyms but you won't see anyone saying it's great on here.

The clean and press also allows you to get injured fairly easily, especially if you're a newbie...wouldn't recommend it for anyone who is starting out.

I was making a point that not every gym has enough space for this exercise to be completed or done properly and not every gym allows you to do that.

I feel like I may have already posted this on this thread, but I honestly have EF posting dreams (I know, I'm ).

If you are doing Bench/Deads/Squats on a weekly basis, there is no real way of knowing which is the most effective mass builder now is there? IMO, they belong in your routine whether building mass, strength or getting cut.

Then it's not a real gym. A gym should not ban certain lifts thats just nuts.
