Are Power Cleans Bad for your Knees

[userHWDADW3THAH]

Cutting to the chase. I know Power Cleans can be bad for you if you have improper form or doing more weight than you should. The question I want to know is if Power Cleans can be bad for your knees? I subscribe to ATG squats and Power Cleans feel almost like an incomplete squat. So wanted to know people's opinions on this.

Not inherently bad for your knees.

What do you mean by bad for your knees? Most weightlifting & sports activity is "bad" for your joints, from a wear, tear & aging perspective. There are benefits as well.

Not bad for my knees, Its a regular in my training.

You may want to look up something called "no foot" or "no jump" cleans. basically you do the movement smoothly with out your feet jumping or relocating much off the heels...flat foot. Its much easier on the joints for older lifters.

Not necessarily.

I prefer muscle cleans

Not necessarily.

I prefer muscle cleans

The 'bad' form and press out of a muscle clean is certainly a better builder than a clean 😂 clean

It's an addictive move.
