Explosiveness
The number one benefit of implementing Power Cleans into your workout is increased athleticism and explosiveness. Better explosiveness is the reason why this exercise is used so commonly among athletes, especially those who play football, basketball, hockey and lacrosse.
Flexibility
Another benefit of Power Cleans is their ability to increase flexibility in the wrists, hips, and ankles. Increased flexibility will lower injury risk while also allowing the muscles to stretch, resulting in better muscle gain.
Calorie-Burning
The Power Clean is a full-body explosion that requires a lot of effort, so the ability to burn calories comes naturally with the exercise. If you include this exercise in your workout and are not sweating afterward, you are not trying hard enough.
Grip Strength
Due to the speed of the Power Clean movement, it requires great grip strength to hold onto the bar while you rip it off the ground. Introducing the Power Clean into your workout regimen can slowly improve your grip strength, which will help in other exercises like barbell rows and deadlifts.
Better Form
An overlooked benefit of the Power Clean is its ability to force perfect form by the lifter. Without good form, the lifter will have a hard time completing the movement, so in order to effectively execute the Power Clean correct form is required.
Supplemental to Other Exercises
Finally, the Power Clean can greatly benefit your totals in other lifts. The explosive power gained from the Power Clean exercise will greatly increase bar speed for both the Deadlift and Squat, which will directly correlate to increased strength in those lifts.
