What are the best exercises for power?

What exercises are the best for developing strength, power, and that just recruit the most amount of muscle for a single exercise?

Squats and Deadlifts are a given, but what else makes the top of the list??

Re: What are the best exercises for power?

Clean and Jerk wins hands down.

It takes power, speed and strength and the weight comes from the ground and over your head.

You hit...

Lower Back
Traps
Lats
Delts
Triceps
Forearms
Quads
Glutes
Hams
Calves

Also some of the smaller muscles like serratus anterior and teres major.

Core exercises, without a strong core nothing will give you power.
