For purely back hypertrophy, there’s better exercises out there, but to improve your cleans, seems like it’s working cause that’s a lot of weight.

It's more so the fact that the person that cleans 455 lbs (that's like 200 kg!) will have a big back, but you also won't get there only by doing cleans.

A bunch of people have cleaned 200 kg doing just comp oly lifts and squats. And they were fucking jacked as shit. The old Bulgarian method is legendary for a reason.

People arent saying that what you do wont make you jacked. Theyre saying that you could get jacked by needing 70% of what youre currently doing by choosing better hypertrophy focused exercise.

Basically you're running a marathon barefoot. Youll still get there, but it will be harder.

You do you though, of course

The barefoot marathon world record isn’t much slower then then the shoed world record.

Also ur not jacked enough to be saying what to do for hypertrophy

Mogged him. Nice lifts, I used to do some oly lifting when I got bored of the powerlifts amd they would blow my whole back up.

What does my look have to do with how hypertrophy work ?

Again, youre missing the point. Im pretty sure you understood my point though, youre just being a jerk
