Olympic lifting is the stupidest type of lifting you could do. Very little hypertrophy, risk for injury goes up about 50x greater, and 3/4 of the lift is done with momentum and body mechanics, not real muscle fibers doing real work
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions so here is mine:
This is the stupidest post in this thread. Olympic lifting isn't about sarcoplasmic hypertrophy it is about power and mechanics. Try doing a 150kg snatch or 220kg clean and press then come back and re-evaluate your stance on 3/4 is done with momentum. The force output in a 300kg clean is more than double that of a 600lb deadlift.
Olympic lifting is about performance not aesthetics. BB, your sport and many others' as well, to me is stupid in a sense. You're all show and no go. It's like a Pontiac Fiero that has a Lambo kit on the body but has the stock 2.8L engine in it.

You've clearly never been around and environment with athletes who competes in actual sports before.
Go tell that to any respectable athletics coach and report back with how hard they laughed.
Edit: no disrespect meant my man, and I'm sorry if you take it that way, but what you said was just silly.

If you cannot tell that reverse grip power cleans are idiotic, then you deserve to make idiotic statements. LOL obviously the intent of this thread is to joke. Too bad there isn't a steroid that makes you smarter. Hahaha

I think olypic lift build explosiveness. Speed and power improve greatly. These guys are athletes that push their bodies to the limit. But no no revese grip power cleans. If you dont slow the weight on the way down the force of the weight could strain shoulder/elbows .

Power cleans and hang cleans are great exercises IMO. I think they are beneficial for bodybuilding as well. I do hang cleans or power cleans sometimes when I work my back but I also clean and press. I can lift more on the OHP when I clean the weight and I am standing compared to when I'm sitting and and lift it out of my power rack. I like to lift heavy and go for personal records on my major lifts. Having strength is good for many reasons, for bodybuilding increasing your major lifts will help you add more weight on all your exercises, at least for me it does. Kick ass Doc nice work, that 8 pack is awesome.

That's not me in those pics. That's Dmitry Klokov, a Russian Oly lifter in the 105kg weight class.

Oh well he looks like a bad mofo.
He is. Google him or look him up on youtube. He has a lot of training videos out there. If you want to see intensity in the gym like you've never seen before, this is the man to watch.
