When it comes to building raw strength, explosive power, and overall athleticism, there are only a few exercises that can rival the effectiveness of power cleans. Power cleans are a dynamic, full-body movement that engages multiple muscle groups, making them a staple in the training routines of athletes, weightlifters, and fitness enthusiasts alike.

Currently, a video of a footballer is going viral on the internet where he can be seen lifting 315lbs while doing power cleans. What was even more shocking was the fact that the athlete could be seen wearing Jordan 1s which are not really designed for lifting purposes. The viewers could not believe what they witnessed and expressed their shocking comments about the same in the comment sections. 

A crazy stunt?

Power cleans are a weightlifting excercise that falls under the category of Olympic lifts. They involve lifting a barbell from the floor to the shoulders in one smooth, explosive motion. The exercise primarily targets the lower body, including the hamstrings, glutes, quadriceps, and calves. Additionally, it engages the upper body, including the back, shoulders, and forearms, making it a true full-body exercise.
