Power Cleans vs. Strongman For Football

If you think that Olympic lifting and power cleans are the only way to get athletes faster and more explosive, then you haven’t looked outside the box.

Consider that a power clean is basically a “loaded jump”, your moving massive amounts of weight with an explosive triple extension.

Well, here are a list of other exercises performed with an explosive triple extension but are way more fun, safe and affordable than barbell Olympic lifting.

1. Tire Flips

2. Keg Loading

3. Stone Loading

4. Sandbag Loading

5. Medicine Ball Backwards Toss

Watch this video of Drayton performing a heavy sand bag load:

I’m pretty sure many of you have experimented with and have discovered other non traditional ways to get bigger, faster and stronger. -

I’d love to learn about them… post your best non-traditional exercises below.
