Barbell Logic show

Summary: We talk about the Big 4 lifts all the time, but Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training 3rd Edition covers five lifts, the fifth being, of course, the Power Clean.

Power is essential to most sports and athletic endeavors, and thus is very important for the developing athlete.
