Learn To Clean (A Beginner's Guide)

[@zacktelander]

I made this one with all of my powerlifter subscribers in mind (Anthony comes from a powerlifting background). Time to learn to clean and try it out!

[@craigstege6376]

Well you've succeeded. I'm going to finish this last eight week cycle of strength training and then work with a local weightlifting coach who is, at the very least decent from what I've seen. I've put off learning the actual weightlifting movements for years and I don't know why as I've liked them since high school 15 years ago.

[@MARKO-ls2kt]

is it possible to I learn this movments watching this videos? cause i scared its more serious when i add weight

[@gurudevi1]

Got a barbell when the pandemic started and have been struggling to get contact with the clean, seen a lot of KZbin but i didn't get what i was doing wrong. This one had all the cues for someone like me with no experience at all. Thank you! 👍

[@camiloariel6378]

you prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any tips you can give me!

Dude this content is still so good. You’re by far one of my all time favorite channels, wild to look at a vid from 5 years ago and see how far you’ve come. Information has always been top notch. Thanks for being the best.

[@Scott-zh5ip]

Finally, just what I was looking for. Powerlifter wanting to try the Oly movements here, but man, knowing where to even start is HARD! Always loved the athleticism of the sport though and ever since training for a few months in the corner of an Oly barbell club I've had an itch to try it! Thanks.

[@lorenzobenitezbarboza]

I was struggling to extend and get under the bar on the heavy weights today, so I came back to this video and it really clear my doubts, thanks a lot

[@jopatrik2602]

Did what he said today and made drastic improvement in my rack position. Those warm ups really made the difference.

[@marcstuart7478]

One of the best tutorials I’ve seen for the clean

[@clarity2115]

can't wait to practice this all day tomorrow, watched other videos but they only focused on triple extension & the bar was just crashing on my collar bone area, this is a WAY better tutorial

[@LittleCrowYT]

I love your "top down" approach to the clean. I must have watch more than a dozen videos on cleans and this is the first time it's all really clicking with me. I was ready to give up on the clean, but this and your most recent foot placement video have reinspired me to keep working at it

[@MichaelTerada]

Wow!!! I was struggling to do the clean for a long time but thanks to this video I was able to do my first clean today! 🙏

[@deo.strengthspan.project]

Awesome! I believe I’m going to get a barbell for my home soon and I’m going to give this progression a try! Very detailed, yet easy to follow and actionable. Great stuff and I’m excited to try

[@PhilippeCarphin]

Do it.

[@MrSpicyAlCi]

So glad I found your chan few weeks ago mate. You are doing an amazing work for novice like me. I'm still at the beginning of my journey into olympic lifting and mostly about strenght ( 120 and 100kgs at backsquat and front + 160kgs for deadlift). I don't know if you have a video showing what a backsquat session would be for you. From warm-up to accessories and rep/set itself. Or even snatch, C&J if you have. I'm doing a kind of crossfit base training but lifting and muscle up + handstand push up are the one I focus on since 3 weeks. Thanks for everything and keep making your videos, they are awesome!

[@mannyalexsalazar3022]

Bro your content is straight up solid. You def motivate me to keep improving my weightlifting technique

[@samdajellybeenie14]

How’s it going bro??

[@shaidanino1574]

NICE ZACK.CAN YOU DO THE SAME ON THE SNATCH

[@managerofkisses6103]

I am so happy I found your channel, thank you so much for sharing this, I recently just started olympic lifting and everything you put out is more than helpful. Thank you dude!!!!

[@Javelinou]

Really good video. I was hoping you'd get to that kind of video one day, and I'm glad this time has come :). I'm looking forward to see your next guides.

[@martinstepan9459]

Such a excellent guide. Trying to learn how to clean properly. Made it only to like 3rd drill in my first session. But it is eyeopening!

[@ohmytoshi]

I am going to use this vid for my routine. Thanks from Korea(South).

[@Fury1993]

My mom came to my room and asked me to clean the mess, so I took clothes from the floor and cleaned them as in the video and I gotta admit, that my mom was not impressed a single bit. Unsubscribed!

Literally about to search how to clean and this is the first video in my sub page... trippy

[@_That_Dude]

I came across your channel a week or so ago and have been consistently impressed. If you don't mind me asking, do you have a scholastic kinesiology background?

[@zacktelander]

Dave so I have my NSCA-CSCS, NCSF-CPT, USAW Level 1, CrossFit L1, and I have four years experience coaching athletes.

[@_That_Dude]

I appreciate the response. You seem to be a great coach from what I've seen. thanks for all the great videos

[@kyrie4451]

These knowledge do not require a kinesiology degree. Reading a few good coaching books (essentials of s&c, periodisation for sports) and lots of research would give you the background knowledge. But experience coaching is very important. I have a kin degree, you would be surprised by how many people I went to school with do Not even know how to run, jump, throw, or perform basic lifts like squat and bench properly.

[@demetriushyder6075]

oh shut up

[@Jerbins]

Very to the point, but also informative. Nice video man! Also, love that you say to grab the bar in the front rack hold. Gotta keep those lats activated.

[@xXAkitokunXx]

I only learnt about coach telander is from clarence, and I want to learn to clean and this is great.

[@theminion8665]

Thanks Zack! I love your channel. I started crossfit a few months ago and your videos are very helpfull.

[@liftingafterdark3241]

This was an awesome video! Could you do one that adds more movements to improve front rack? I’m sure you’ve already done this, but I’m sure there are others like me who cannot keep our hands on the bar.

[@luketheproudsayainwarrior706]

Doing these in gym tomorrow at school and I want to know what I’m doing and thank you for this video

[@bradaen]

Hey Zack. Cool and very insightful video. Thanks for putting it up. I tried to go through all the progressions today. Worked out pretty well. Was just curious if u could tell me (us) a bit more about figuring out what the best width for the clean grip would be. ( Maybe you have some good video suggestions?). Thanks in advance. Best.

[@aquarianbeauty80]

Thanks this was awesome, I'm going to try this when I get to the gym tomorrow. Very informative 👍🏽

good video! i believe you have more knowledge about the snatch and clean&jerk that this short video, it would be great to see you do a breakdown of each part of the movement, maybe make it into a mini series!

[@deadassbogan5071]

incredibly helpful, thankyou 👍

[@matthewneufeld8153]

Phenomenal. Thanks Zack

[@lydiavanderhout2061]

the cut off of the extension I noticed happening only by people that only low bar squat so far. because the low bar does not extend fully like a high bar squat. Not sure if this is the main cause but its a thing that I noticed with my trainees that prefer low bar squat over high bar.

Hi Zack! Love your videos, this question I have is not related to this video, but maybe you could still help me out. When peaking for a max strength/PR attempt, is it necessary to continue doing accessory movements or, should I just stick to the main lifts?

What if when i do the clean i barely have my fingertips on the bar? I've been working on mobility and flexibility been gettibg better but i still dont have a full grip after working on the clean for 2 months.

Awesome video! Any good tips on preventing a pre-bend in the elbows prior to hip extension? I generated some bad habits while lifting lighter and now its holding me back.

[@zacktelander]

Rev. Rodge the 2 inch clean really helps with that

[@MTNHobbies]

Zack Telander Okay, thank you. I'll commit some more time to them. Thanks for the reply! I'm a pretty tall guy and have found your videos really helpful compared to some of the other stuff I've seen.

[@mbag012]

That was awesome

[@hmtaylor7]

So helpful - but watching his jump I don’t see extension and he’s barely jumping. I thought we were supposed to explode - jump on our toes and up and out some?

[@michaelns9887]

Hey, Zack! Love your content! I have a question: I would like to learn oly later in my life, but for now my training is more strength-oriented. Should I learn clean or power clean firstly? I think that power clean requires more row strength and, more importantly, more upper-body strength (which is what I'm up to)

[@derfranky9640]

Hey Michael! I know I'm not Zack but let my try to answer your question. I think it depends on what you are trying to accomplish with your clean. If you ONLY want to implement it to build strength, power and explosivness, you are better off with the power clean. If you actually want to clean for the sake of lifting a lot of weight and getting specifically better at olympic weightlifting, I would learn the "full" clean from early on. In my own coaching experience I have found that learning the squat clean after being used to power clean is a LOT harder than starting directly with the squat/full clean!

[@michaelns9887]

Thanks for commenting!

[@MTNHobbies]

I second what JafraCraft has mentioned. I think its much easier to transition to power clean after learning the squat clean, then the reverse. Many of the people I see doing power cleans have not learned how to utilize the hip extension, and just pull the weight off their thighs.

[@PhilipKestell]

Hey Zach! Can you do a how to Power Clean video?

[@jeremy1724]

How the hell did he get to that front rack catch position so easily!? I have such trouble with that! Is the bar behind the neck press really that effective of a stretch?

[@brotesser6485]

Boy I heard that Intro melody a thousand times. But one particular time it was in the background of a story. It kicked in at the exact moment as this guys wife got stabed in the heart by the cultists as he was held down. And this relationship and the characters were so fleshed out that I felt that way too much. That helplessness and shock just fucking got me real bad. And now every time I hear that tune I get this same feeling like some weird PTSD fuckin shit bro.

[@jesslane4363]

How do u prevent the bar from hitting your pubic bone on the way up because that shit kills. Should I stand wider or have my arms wider so the bar gets kicked up at a different spot

Zack which book would be the your first choice to learn periodization and programming as much as possible science and practice of strength training or periodization training for sports? bcs i dont have enough time it would be great to read your opinions

[@Cin9999]

Rasim Zeytunlu If you dont have time just pick a popular program by a good coach ...like texas methode, sheiko etc. Most programming is only losely based on science anyway because there isnt that much research about specific programming-patterns...you will learn about it by doing it As long as you try to progress over time in volume and intensity/weight it really doesnt matter if you do cowboy methode, sheiko, smolov, texas, cube etc.

[@esjonne953]

Try "Practical Programming" for starters.

[@rasimzeytunlu2936]

That was one of the best and most sincere advices i have ever taken because no one wants to admit these truths and talks very confident thanks again buddy

[@rasimzeytunlu2936]

no i have read that book and i dont think that book gives really great information about programming principles

[@kyrie4451]

Periodisation for training, literally...the author was the first person to systematiccally study periodisation. Essentials of strength and conditioning is a good one too.
