doing clean and jerks

[wordan45]

Are clean and jerks still something guys do these days? my gym has a thick mat and there is a spot to do them where you can 'drop that shit' down without any problems. my concern though is how safe are these to do without a spotter and are they worth it with all the pressure they put on our spine?

guys don't do them very often in a gym setting. more at crossfit

i used to do them a lot back in the day, use rubber weights

You take a risk getting out of bed. Just ensure you get a good coach to show you them properly

Not something I do but they can be beneficial if done properly.

A spotter!? You don’t spot Olympic lifts dude.

The movement has a high risk of injury and offers little to no benefit for hypertrophy so I dont do them personally
