You're not wrong. It's mostly an ego lift in and of itself.

You don’t have to do it boyo.

It’s a classic, respected Olympic lift that if done correctly makes you extremely explosive. Think about the power your posterior chain, and honestly all of your body has to generate to perform this lift.

The CrossFit version is useless because 99.99% of those gyms don’t teach the lift properly, and they do end up in snap city. They probably don’t even get the full benefits since it’s such piss poor form.

It's a staple exercise (esp power clean) for pretty much every athlete that competes in power sports.

OP is meaning outside of sports you wouldn’t ever do it in day to day life to help with something.

Agree OP. Always seems like a liability. Try to keep it to only one axis movements myself.

It's one of the most functional movements and works out basically every muscle in your body... it also builds explosiveness and leg/hip power so it's great for athletes.

crossfitter detected, the lifting movement is a meme. everyone just says "hurrrr durrr it's useful for generating explosiveness for sports" and squats aren't?
