'silly muscle-bound clod deleted list of further' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'options' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'options' could be 'menu' (I've seen this before) and 'menu' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'sub' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
