You don’t need Power Cleans to become explosive
I took them out years ago and our program only got better
Here's a free guide on why and how to train power without Cleans
To get it:

But then how do we explain Nordic curls increasing hamstring flexibility when they only load them in the mid zone?

How strong is strong enough?
Here are my standards
Strength is the low hanging fruit until they can hit the Minimums
The Goal numbers are the point of diminishing returns for strength alone (likely sooner)
The Great are just for fun. We don't actually care to hit those at all
