Do you really need to power clean to be strong and explosive? For most lifters training for longevity, hypertrophy, and health—not competition—the answer might surprise you.

In this episode of Beast Over Burden, part of the Rethinking the Big Lifts series, coaches Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson break down the real purpose of the power clean, who it's actually for, and why there are better options for developing explosive strength without the technical headaches or injury risks. If you’re lifting for life—not for sport—this one’s for you.

✅ What You’ll Learn

Why the power clean is often overprescribed
Who actually benefits from doing power cleans (and who doesn’t)
What to do instead of cleans for explosive strength
How to rethink power training as you age
Smarter programming for lifters who value longevity and health
Why you don’t have to power clean to be strong
