“Bigger back for bigger bench”. What’s your opinion on adding the power clean/hanging clean into a program? Should this have its own day or can you effectively use it to supplement on deadlift day?

Brian Carroll

Brian is a world-class powerlifter with over two decades of elite and pro-level powerlifting under his belt. Coming back from a devastating back injury in 2012 that broke multiple bones and that most experts said he would never recover from, he has returned to the pinnacle of world-class lifting (while 100% pain and symptom-free) and is now dedicated to helping others avoid the same mistakes that he made in the past through private and group coaching in Jacksonville, FL. Brian’s impressive recovery has given him the opportunity to teach and deliver talks to physical therapists, chiropractors, medical doctors, professional strength & conditioning coaches and experts from all facets of sport, on how to avoid injury, while building anti-fragile strength and resilience in athletes.

I think cleans have their place like Allison states. If you are specifically training for powerlifting there are much more beneficial movements and accessories you can do to improve your bench. The clean is a highly technical movement that if not done right can cause more harm than damage. So in short, if not needed for strongman or crossfit training it would not be my first choice as an accessory movement.
