no, it's a nice lift, good for some variety or if you'd like to show off how good your technique is but not a mainstay.

^^^^^^^^


what other exercise can i use with that dumbell exercise ? So it can be a full body workout

[GoJu]

looked at the video, thought we were talking 1-arm barbell clean&jerks, DB clean&jerk or KB clean&Jerks with one hand are actually a pretty good cardio workout, they're really good for endurance training, but if you're looking for size and strength not what you want to be working with (though would still be a good cardio suplement).

but to complement the DB clean&jerks you might do DB front squats.

ok thanx repped

[Huss!]

if you jog while doing flexing double bi and lat spread you will work every muscle

Good point, there wasn't really a jerk in that video.

i too was expecting a one hand barbell clean & jerk, yet I got a dumbbell clean & press. Still an effective move, just was hoping for more. The song was good, I wouldn't mind finding it.

The clean & jerk or any variation of a clean and press, is a very good move for working many muscles in the body. If I had to choose just one exercise to ever perform, I'd be tossed between a deadlift and a clean & press variation. However, why would you want to limit yourself to just one move?

why not? it looks like it is the most natural move out there...

It looks like it works everything ,

Lets say the weight is 50 lbs , And u do 5 reps , 3 sets ...
look at ur position , U start out from a Deadlift position , than u can bring the weight up , THat jerk right there just worked ur Entire BACK and legs, And when u bring the weight up u worked ur upper body , It is the king exercise....

Im talking about really heavy weight ,

as I said, it is a great move, and if you had to choose just ONE exercise to only do, it would be in the running for what move I choose.

However, using a weight that you can press overhead, does not stress the legs, and back much. It also minimally stress the chest, while pretty much neglecting the biceps.

NICE ! THAT WAS THE ANSWER I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!

[mateostarks]

So i guess


my workout should consist

1)deadlift
2)overhead press (one handed military press)


and thats it . (maybe ill do bench SOMETIMES)


2 exercises to built a physique ... Agreed?

There is no point in restricting yourself to two exercises. You will be severely hampering your development.

A minimalist routine should center around squats, presses, deads, rows/cleans, and chins. That will cover the basics.

i agree with u , but i believe there is no point on doing squats , when heavy deadlifts work the legs.. Why would i do deadlifts that killed my legs than do squats right after? . That means i am putting alot of emphasis on my legs.

You should be putting a lot of emphasis on your lower body, as that is where the bulk of your muscle mass is located.

Deadlifts are not equivelant to squats... in either the degree to which they work the lower body, or in the systemic effects that they have as a whole. They are also much more difficult to recover from and cannot be trained with the same frequency or at the same intensity as squats.

And yes.... you shouldn't be deadlifting, and THEN squatting, that's just poor sequencing.

ok i understand thanx

[burningNun]

Deadlifts neglect the adductors aswell.

depends, I like deadlifts then front squats, little different when you're doing back squats though.

If you are looking for just one movement that will work just about all the muscles than my money is on a full squat snatch from the floor. Snatch will work just about everything if you do it right. Learn the technique well, start with snatch stance bar stretch, snatch rotation, snatch press, snatch power pull, snatch grip deadlift, overhead shrug, overhead squat, snatch pull, drop snatch, slow speed snatch, and then move on to a half squat snatch from the floor, and finally to the king the full squat snatch from the floor. There is no shortcut to good snatch technique, you will have to practice all these moves until they become your second nature. Learn the proper snatch technique and be patient with it. All these snatch supporting movements should be easy to google, they are important, and you will find them useful even after you master the full squat snatch from the floor. Learn their ins and outs well, and start with an empty bar or even a broomstick when learning the technique, it's not an easy lift, but nothing worth anything is easy in life, it maybe simple, but it won't be easy. I think this is the one movement you're looking for. Not only will the snatch develop your muscles and strength, but it will develop your flexibility and balance as well. Snatch is an "explosive" movement, and it will enhance your speed as well. Give it a try.
