Next time you bench ask a partner to touch your biceps, it will be completely flabby. As i said it's is physically impossible to use your biceps by doing benchpress because if you tighten them you can not extend your arms.
And i wouldnt recommand powerclean to someone who has no core strenght as it will lead to injuries.
What he's doing works, just trust in that.

Same with overhead press, your lats will not be involved, the lats are used to do the opposite movment.

Its impossible to retract your arm without using your bicep. You retract your arms to lower the bar in a bench press. To test this, hold your arm as if it was at the bottom of a bench and press against a wall and feel your bicep. If it is not flexed you probably have some nueromuscular issues you should have looked at.
As you lock out an overhead press, you should be using your lats/traps/back muscles to "stretch" the bar over head, which becomes more true the farther back you hold the bar.
There is a small % of men in the world i wouldn't trust to practice a 45 pound powerclean, especially if that person is on a plan like Starting Strength, like froadac is, he is perfectly fine.

What press? legs press? military press?
Also bench press doesnt train biceps at all and deadlift trains legs/lower back and who work his back by doing squats? What you wrote just doesnt make sense.
Muscles involved in the deadlift: Lower Back, Calves, Forearms, Glutes, Hamstrings, Lats, Middle Back, Quadriceps, Traps.
Squat: Quadriceps, Calves, Glutes, Hamstrings, Lower Back.
And if you say Power cleans only work the lower back I take it you haven't seen Decaf's back lol.
Keep up the good work Froadac

Thanks.
I'm going to the gym today to try and get them to lower their up front membership fee. It seems highly negotiable.
