I was one of those people like I explained. I sucked at power cleans/could not do them

Since I started starting strength, and focused on the basic programme minus overcomplicated bullshit I have rapidly improved my ability to powerclean.

If someone has a disability which prevents them from racking, then it would be a consideration. But otherwise you can learn to rack and do proper power cleans.


And again I emphasise, power clean and rows are very different you would do them to achieve to vastly different goals.
