Used as an "exercise" the c&p is a poor choice
No reason to clean & press unless you like doing it or compete in an event that requires you to C&P
No.
I'm assuming the op is asking from a bodybuilding/powerlifting perspective.
There is no doubt that an Olympic lifter must practice the skills of the sport, using a barbell in a quick explosive manner, if the lifter expects to perform these movements well in competition.
However, the constant, jerky movements, regardless of form or technique, expose the soft tissue structures to a great deal of force and potential injury.
I don't believe it is incorrect form that contributes to injury, as much as the speed of movement it self.
I. Do think one can certainly get strong doing Olympic movements, but at what cost?
A small injury equates to some missed training time
A major injury contributes to all of the above.
Or unless you want to get strong.
if executed correctly it's an awsome exercise.
unfortunately most don't execute the clean anywhere near properly
Why hinder your squat and deadlift progress with cleaning the weight you press when you could just take it out the power rack and press it?
