squats have any benefit for powercleans?

Does an improved squat help you improve in power cleans or would upper back pulls be more ideal for training?

[PrivateBaldrick]

Both. Power cleans involve a lot of leg drive as well as back pulling power. Or at least they do when they are done right.

Think about what you are working.

You've been on the boards for a year and a half and have to ask this question?

I've been squatting for less than a month and olympic lifting for less than a month. Before that, I was a machine-whore at the gym and boxing.

So I still am new to real lifting.
