Power Clean – Olympic Weight Lifting Guide
5 Mar
See www.workoutbox.com for more workouts and exercises. The power clean is a skill transfer exercise for the full clean, which means it assists with the development of a proper full clean, as well as contributing the continued improvement of an already developed full clean. Although it is done with the purpose of developing a better full clean, the power clean can serve as a great movement for building explosive power by itself. Its a core weight lifting exercise using the Olympic bar and is a very complex movement. Therefore its extremely important to ensure your power clean technique is correct else you could injure yourself.
well hes not tooo smart
vols is right, no power clean station in my gym. The floor is rubberised, yet there are signs up saying any dropping of weights or barbells will result in membership removal. Apparently they’ve replaced a lot of weights due to people dropping them. Still, this is just the kind of exercise I could use for rugby fitness, so I might have to ask if there’s no way of doing it.
Is the drop necessary fro the power clean?
u see the long rubber mats? they are put there so you can drop the bar on those
bench isn’t the easiest unless you just lie down on the bench and start benching without setting up your form like most people do.
my coach says the power clean is the hardest life to do and the bench is the easyest and the most dangerous thats how USCs running back got hurt he droped a the bar on his neck and smashed hisvoice box he couldnt play in the senior bowl
Probably a football player. Most gyms that I know of don’t mind it, but gyms that don’t like people using the equipment like that dont have a power clean station.
Dropping the bar like that would get you barred from my gym, anyway.
Useful vid, though.
