I agree with you beneboy. I coach HS football in MS and our most important lift is the Power Clean. It has helped our players over the past 5 seasons tremendously. I am truly sorry mbecka, I do not have any research paper to show you how much it helped our team, but we went from 8 losing seasons in a row to 5-5 the first year I was there and 36-4 over the next 4 regular seasons. Also, I just got home from a coaching clinic in Biloxi, MS where Alabama's strength coach spoke Thursday night. (It was from 7pm til 7:55pm, thats as specific as I can be). Guess what he said the most important lift HS coaches should focus on????? XXXXXX wrong mbecka! It was the........POwer clean. According to him, this lift is essential. This lift is paramount, according to him, to alabama football. Now, I am just a dumb HS football coach that only has a masters in Health and PE, but please feel free to call and set up a time to tell the very large man how dumb he is and how you can make the team that he works with better. He told everyone at the clinic that they could call or come by and he would talk to them any time that they wanted. Please post when you are going to Tuscaloosa because I am taking a personal day from school and heading to Tuscalossa to see you put this dumb, uneducated man in his proper place. Hell, Saban will probably hire you so he might get over the hump and win a NC. I want to be there to remind him that I was the one that got you there, so maybe he could come off of some of the money that he slides recruits under the table for me, since I, in a way helped him by getting you to go see him. Just dont tell my 2 ex-wives that I got some money because they would want their %14 percent of it. Back to the real world, beneboy, I am sure that you have seen the results from power cleans like me, so, we should write a paper and mbecka could use it like it was all his idea.
