	2005/05/21, 06:44 AM it feels like you're working multiple muscles....is because it's almost a full body exercise...in fact if you do push&press or jerk it will be...lol You can do them instead of deadlifts on back days once in a while...

I usually do power clean + jerk on shoulder day, it's kind of like a military press so it works your shoulders some so that's where I put it. Try it if you want, see how it works.

If you do deadlifts, mil, bench, squats, rows and cleans all within 5 days, and only rest 2........your gonna need to take a week off every 6 weeks or so......cause thats alot of muti joint movemnets. You need a rest day in the middle of your week too. -------------- " The only true eye, is your minds eye"- plato
