The Dangers of Power Cleans

Power cleans are extraordinarily dangerous or anybody, especially an unprepared person off the street. All it takes is one explosive movement, or one party of your body that's not strong enough to withstand the excessive load and you are in danger of being injured. Our nerves are sensitive, especially when you overload them. If they are overloaded they can stop firing, they shut down. It's kind of like the numbness you feel after you've been punched in the arm. There is little to be gained with a power clean. The negatives far outweigh the positives.

Ouch...

I have crushed my left big toe AND wrenched my right thumb in two different power clean incidents. All from trying to go too heavy. I wouldn't touch a power clean on a bet.
