Are powerlifting exercies necessary for decent muscle growth?
Are powerlifting exercises such as clean and press and the squat necessary for muscle growth? If your main goal is just muscle growth and looking good , do you really need to do exercises that you would see a football lineman doing in workouts? I hear people say 'oh you must squat!"
Is that a bunch of rubbish?

To build muscle you can do bodyweight workouts, but to build mass you hit the gym with a few sets with the range of 8-12 repetitions. Also working your legs helps you gain muscle more not just below but upper part of your body too because, hormones.

squat yeah(kind of) but not clean and press
clean and press is mostly for power.
Squat is a great lowerbody mass builder but if you're unable to do them, there are alternatives.
and no, look up a ICF 5x5 weight lifting program and stay on that.
