[@aidanschaferschafer9121]

Anthony Ah-mu Bill William is right. He’s using his upper body. To activate the legs you have to squat down lower. I’m not hating this guy’s a beast

[@FlippersTF2]

mate the first part of a power clean is a deadlift, which activates your hamstrings.

[@footba11fan41ife]

No he's definitely using his legs he just generates so much force so quickly there is no need for him to catch the bar in a full squat position

[@mursemumu93]

He literally had perfect form for a power clean the first rep. Initiated from the hips then knees for a nice triple extension and clean catch.

[@andrewsiuFB]

“If you keep slamming the weights I’ll have to ask you to leave sir”

[@pillmill8987]

Not sure if its 380 though. The plates say 10. Im thinking kg. So maybe 250, that's what the bar bend looks like to me

[@dctPL]

Exactly my thought. It's not even 250. There are 3 maybe 4 10kg plates on each side. They're all green so it gives either 176 or 220 lbs with the bar included. Nothing special...

[@benchgoblin]

the plates don’t say 10, anywhere, and we don’t use kilogram plates here in the US. The plates *do* say 45lbs, which is close to 20kgs. The bar weight is 315lbs, whoever wrote the caption of 380lbs is clueless

Saka if you pause at :16 you can very clearly see the “45lbs” mark on the nearest plate.

There are 4 plates on each side bro. Pause it near the beginning before he lifts the bar and look at the plates closest to the screen, you can see 4 rings. its actually 405 lbs

for a lot of people they lift more with a power clean than a full clean due to lack of technique. Its actually much easier to learn and execute a power clean than it is to clean the weight due to the mobility demand of a front squat.
