Hang Power Clean
Description:


Stance & Grip - Begin with feet hip width apart and flat on the floor.  The knees are slightly bent and the chest and shoulders are over the bar.  Your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder width apart, wrist curled, and arms straight.  The back is straight, abs are tight, and chest is inflated with air.  Your shoulder blades should be pinched together with your eyes focused straight ahead.

 
Explosion (Second Pull) - Jump straight up fully extending the hips, knees, and ankles while violently shrugging the bar.


Rack Position & Finish - Continue pulling on the bar and quickly shift feet to shoulder width, dropping into 1/4 squat position with a straight back and feet flat.  As you shift your feet and lower your body position the elbows are thrown under the bar and pushed high in front.  Catch the bar on top of the shoulders next to the collarbone.  Stand upright with the bar remaining in the rack position.  Exhale and safely return the bar to the start and reset for the next repetition.
