Power Clean
The power clean is an Olympic lifting derivative that builds explosive power and total-body coordination. Pull the bar from the floor to your shoulders in one powerful movement.
How to Perform
Start in a deadlift position with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width.
Pull the bar to knee height, then explosively extend your hips, knees, and ankles (triple extension).
Shrug and pull yourself under the bar as it reaches chest height.
Catch the bar on your front delts in a quarter-squat position.
Stand up to complete the lift.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Pulling with the arms too early instead of using hip extension.
Not getting full triple extension before pulling under.
Catching the bar too far forward, causing it to drop.
Not learning the movement progression before going heavy.
