I really don't see much info on heavy cleans around here, which is strange because I actually find them quite a lot harder than high swings with the same weight.
I'm curious as to what the communis take is on heavy single cleans as a strength and power exercise. I myself always thought heavy swings were the epitome of a manly exercise, but when I was finally able to clean the same weight I realized they seem like quite an understated exercise - lots of power, full body strength and stability muscles activated. My chest hair grew about two inches the day I cleaned the 64kg.
What are your takes on the heavy clean? Is it worth implementing into a routine if I am already doing heavy swings? (Training for no other reason than fun/fitness/strength)
