You think too much at your current level. I used to be like that so it's hard to be "hard on you", but you should lower the weight you do squats with, do proper form squats and build from there. Once you get to a serious number in the squat (1.5+) then you could worry about doing more explosive stuff etc.

Did the competition allow regular cleans or you had to do power cleans and power snatches, cause you just won the competition using power versions of the lifts. If you would learn and you could use regular cleans  and regular snatches you would probably shatter national records.

That's absolutely correct.

Well there are many benefits.

For one, squats build core strength. Secondly, the power you get (whole body power) is still hip initiated in general, and core generated/managed. Thirdly, a good leg strength base is the foundation on which upperbody is based on in terms of good stability for good power generating. And quartedly, the more lean muscle in general you have the more irradiation effect you have.

Where I'm going here is sports. If you do pullups/chinups/pushups etc just for the sake of good looking, then all I said is pretty much nullified.

yeah but big upper body and tiny legs makes you look like a fucking idiot.

I thought Johnny Bravo was pretty cool. "Whatever", to quote him.

Like I said, the irradiation effect is really a core generated effect.

Sorry but what is the irradiation effect?

It's the overall body potentiation effect that contracting the abs, glutes and forearm muscles gives you.
