Power Clean

Power Clean demonstration

How to do it

  1. 1The power clean is a compound Olympic weightlifting movement that involves lifting a barbell from the floor to the shoulders in one explosive motion.

Coaching cues

  • Start with the barbell on the ground in front of you, with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  • Bend down and grip the barbell with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  • Keep your back straight and chest up as you lift the barbell off the ground, extending your hips and knees.
  • As the barbell reaches your mid-thigh, explosively pull it upwards, shrugging your shoulders and pulling your elbows high and to the sides.
  • As the barbell reaches its highest point, quickly drop underneath it, rotating your elbows around and catching the barbell on your shoulders in a front squat position.
  • Stand up with the barbell, fully extending your hips and knees.
  • Lower the barbell back down to the starting position, keeping control of the weight throughout the movement.
  • Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
