power clean technique

[@sigururjonbjorgvinsson391]

Why is the 3rd guy wearing a parachute?? :)

So glad to see someone mention that you don't have to actually shrug your shoulders. It just happens automatically if you're exploding at the hips. Thanks a bunch for the great vid.

Getting good form definitely helped me move up alot in how much weight i cpuld do

[@bashag5477]

this was helpful for my athletic training course!

[@AltitudeAthletics]

try cleans from the high hang position

[@TobinsMountains]

The gym I goto does not have a platform or bumper plates. Is it safe to lower the bar back down to the floor gently OR is that unsafe for joints and connective tissue???

Best instructional power clean video on KZbin! Thanks heaps

[@AltitudeAthletics]

Not necessarily. Hard telling without watching you. But if that's the case you may be over-pulling with those muscles. Just note that a long pull with the upper body generally slows the athlete down while jumping under the weight. Usually at this point the bar is decelerating in the upward direction, and therefore accelerating in the downward direction. This means you need to be real fast under that bar.

[@AltitudeAthletics]

Pinoy, it should be the hips getting vertical - or basically the "jump" that propels the barbell upward. The arms only bend to pull your body underneath the bar.

[@jimmyvalzone]

Do you literally want to push the bar with your hips in order to push it away???? I understand it also allows you to open your hips in an obvious manner, but am wondering if I need to exaggerate the hip hitting the bar.

[@FluffyMeowington]

This was really detailed for the easy part of the exercise, the bit I came here to learn was the upwards explosion, arm movement, school of thought, etc. Too bad, thanks anyway.

Thank you, my power clean technique is horrible, this helped a lot.

great video, I'm trying to get the technique down before I start adding weight - I can't seem to get the second pull correct though. Gonna keep practicing! Also like devin said, do you guys sell that shirt because it's awesome

[@gregorymassery0150]

Awesome video, this totally helps me break down the important elements to my clients.

[@samanmm]

So am i doing the wrong technique because my traps are always sore after power cleans

[@sunpreetsingh1160]

I have trouble doing the jump it seems very unnatural, I think im doing reverse curls. What would you suggest to get comfortable squatting under the weight and only using hips and legs?

[@TobinsMountains]

Thanks for your professional opinion! I was able to find a new gym. Time to make some clean gains :)

[@2prelude4now]

Excellent tutorial guys!

[@jeremyheck8519]

Are there any shirts left? What would it take to get one? Thank you for great vid and feedback!

[@TheGeneralDerp]

i play football and when i powerclean i can't seem to do more than 25ibs on each side. The thing coach always tells me is i need to use my legs and hips more what does he mean by this?

[@irmarod04]

Great video. Thanks guys.

[@devindosher6296]

i want the second guy talkings shirt anway i can get it??

[@AltitudeAthletics]

I would be careful if you are not comfortable lowering heavy weights. Practice with light stuff... or better yet - find a new gym.

[@laszloanda1282]

I need that shirt.

[@stefansavic3313]

can u send me one of that t-shirts? :D

[@RMILLSMMA]

Cool, thanks for the info, ignore the comments box 'experts' :)

[@Karlhumphreys1988]

no hope for me then :(

[@AltitudeAthletics]

Devin- message me your size and address and I'll send you one

[@wolandthemagician]

This is thoughtful, well-explained, and accurate. This has no business being on KZbin! I'm going to flag you until you start putting up obnoxious, showy videos with lame PowerPoint special effects.
