Clean and Press

I have recently had to condense my workouts to three days a week and have started to incorporate the clean and press movement mainly as an “all body” strengthener, but also for shoulder development. Would you recommend this exercise for this purpose or would I be better off using the deadlift and maybe military press for shoulders and all body exercises?

The clean and press is a superior exercise, done with either a barbell or dumbbells. Whole-body musclebuilding and systemic qualities. Love it.

Take your time, establish correct form, practice and treat with respect, learn and grow.

Press on… Godspeed… DD
