Exercise Description

The power clean exercise builds explosive power and strength throughout your entire body. It trains your muscles to work together fast and efficiently.

How To

1. Start with the barbell on the floor, feet hip-width apart, hands slightly wider than shoulders 2. Pull the bar up explosively, keeping it close to your body as you extend your hips and knees 3. As the bar reaches your chest, drop into a partial squat and catch it on your shoulders 4. Stand up tall with the power clean weight resting on your front shoulders 5. Lower the bar back to the starting position with control

Form Tips

• Keep the bar close to your body throughout the entire power clean movement • Use your hips to drive the bar up, not just your arms • Catch the bar with your elbows high and pointing forward • Land softly in the catching position during your power clean

Common Mistakes

• Letting the bar drift away from your body during the power clean pull • Using only your arms instead of your whole body to lift the weight • Catching the power clean bar too low on your chest instead of your shoulders
