How to Power Clean (Olympic Weightlifting 101)

How to Power Clean (Olympic Weightlifting 101)

Description

Need help perfecting the power clean? Dr. Aaron Horschig and elite weightlifter Darren Barnes walk you through a step-by-step process to learning and performing this lift. 

Key points: 
1) Keep your arms long and your elbows turned out to the side (shoulder internal rotation). This will keep the bar close to you during the initial pull. 
2) Keep your bodyweight spread evenly across your entire foot. Often athletes will shift onto their toes or back onto their heels during the pull of a clean. This leads to an off balance lift and subsequent jumping forward or back in order to save the lift. 
3) Extend! Don't cut your pull short. At the top of the lift you will see extension of the trunk, hips and ankles.

Hello, my fit babes! Raise your hand if you're ready to learn how to deadlift like a boss! P.S.

HOW TO USE GYM EQUIPMENT: https://youtu.be/3irVy7zN47w Deadlift Warmup: - 10-15 minutes of full-body foam rolling - Dynamic stretches - Warm-Up Sets: 1-2 sets at ~50% of your working set weight, 1 set at ~75% of your working set weight, move into working sets after (Please note that this is just a very GENERAL method of warming up & depending on the amount of sets/reps/load you plan on doing for your working sets, your warm up sets will look different. Your working sets are the "real" sets of exercises you will do after completing the warm up sets.) Equipment Mentioned: - Inzer Forever Lever Belt (I use a 10mm size Small: https://bit.ly/31QWcpQ) - SBD 13mm Lever Belt (I prefer this one to the Inzer one bc it's much more comfortable and easier to adjust. 100% worth the $$ if you're serious about lifting long-term: https://bit.ly/2N8Dcju) - Versa Gripps (https://amzn.to/2FvT4Gr) - Etra Liquid Chalk (All colors work well.
