My dads been a competitive olympic lifter for 50 years (from age 9 in 1973, lifted in a masters meet in florida earlier this year). When i started casually doing powercleans he gave me some really good tips that made the whole exercise seem way simpler. Start as if youre deadlifting. However, at a certain point, stop extending your knees. Leave them slightly bent and taking load. To get upright, don't straighten your back, *swing your hips forward.* you're now fully upright with the bar against your thighs, knees bent. In one motion, drive hard with your legs, extending your knees and using your calves too, at the same time do a big shrug. You should drive hard enough that your feet come off the floor ever so slightly (your landing makes the big "clap" you often hear during oly lifts). Get under the bar and catch it on your delts. Not your chest or your collarbones. Delts. Throughout the whole process, he said "your arms are only ropes connecting the bar to the rest of your body. Using your biceps just turns the clean into a big reverse curl." All the strength comes from your back (mainly lower back and traps), core and legs. Your arms only come into play once the bar has come to a rest. Thats a super streamlined way that he taught me. I still had to train with him a few times to really get it. If anyones interested, a video or description will only get you so far. You really need a few training sessions

Love these slow motion tutorials. So helpful. Can’t wait to watch the other lifts, thank you 💪 ❤

And remember - switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading.

I've never seen anyone unload the bar before standing up fully. Since there's no jerk of the bar after the clean, I suppose it makes sense to consider the move finished at that point, then move the bar to the floor for the next power clean. Thanks for the video. I love them.

The most aha moment for me was watching his feet. He goes from shoulder alignment to way out in an open stance (check the tile lines) on the catch, then back in closer stance on the release but with a hop rather than a pull. Then he repositioned, or as I call it, screws his feet into the floor before repeating. Man I've been trying to hit the same mark on the catch for too long and didn't really realize it. Thank you!

Simple informative short no bs video. Great stuff 👍

I have a home gym and i have to learn to power clean in order to do barbell squats😭

You're like a machine with that perfect technique. Amazing dude 😎

These step by step tutorials are great. One for the snatch would be good that is also a hard lift to learn

This is the best step by step demonstration video. And in under 3 minutes 😱🦾🦿

what is your best power clean?

is there any good reason why you wouldn't incorporate a squat and press into this movement? Genuine question, because I see it a lot.

1:39 bar crash

Help. Watched tons of tutorials , to only find out I'm struggling with resting the bar on my shoulders. Any suggestions. I do work out and have decent shoulders , it's my arms that don't go all that far back ☹️

It hurts too much when I put the bar on my shoulder/upper chest. I don't have much meat there😅 Any suggestions?

you do them on leg day or back day?

Okay this might seem funny, but how do you avoid getting hit in your penis during phase when you slide the bar on your thighs?

Notice the bar isnt dropped either gotta finish the movement

Hello, sorry for bother, video looks great, but ive a little worried about when ure close to reach your max PR, cause here in catch position you dont go deep, at least some people go very deep and lock in perfect form the body with so heavy weights that u said if i do that im afraid that my knees explodes (sorry for my english) Hard to know how to do after the second pull, the catch on heavy weights or close to PR, how to manage that step before execute front squat. Ive injured my left leg doing clean closest to my PR, i have no coach, i read somewhere that u cant catch the bar in extension when the weight is too heavy for you, need to go depth, it is necessary to go so deep closest to PR or this can happen? or it is overtraining? cause i do it 2 or 3 days without no deload, trying weights closest to PR like 2x2, 2x1 with no annoying knee block, i cant walk now hehe. So Its necessary to execute that depth closest to PR or when you feel heavy? Thanks.

Алексей, а можно сделать видео с разбором рывка и рывковой тяги, но с видом сбоку и указанием ключевых углов накрытия и т.п., если можно в 60fps. Я хочу скачать и покадрово отсматривать и сверять с тем, что делаю я сам. Спасибо!

These How-to weightlifting videos on KZfaq have good intentions. Unfortunately they are creating "form police". Weightlifters vary in body leverages, some have long torso and short femurs like Naim Suleymanoglu, but most have awkward long femurs or some body disability like Gary Deal who (born 1940) at the age of ten had polio that left him with a shrunken and weak right arm, shoulder and leg. His accomplishments can be found using the Google machine, or so I've heard. I saw Yordan Mitkov (Bulgarian weightlifter) in 1975 Gettysburg, PA yank the bar from the platform and pull twisting his body like a cork screw in ways that the "form police" would wonder "why doesn't he have a spotter ?" hahah yeah right. David Rigert burned the house down with the most impressive lifting performance I've ever seen. End result Rigert set a world record 485lbs in the clean and jerk. We all stood in line to shake his hand. Yordan Mitkov went on to win a gold medal in the 1976 Olympic Games in the 75kg class. The KZfaq "form police" are clueless "experts" that swarm on anyone doing something that doesn't fit their understanding. Maybe weightlifting do's and don'ts are the problem. Or maybe people just suck no matter what you do. Nevermind. Peace.

Doesn't this hurt on collarbones?

i don't understand how i don't fuck up my wrists when pointing my elbows forward that much

Why do you stop compete ? You are not so old 😢

The impossible lift. This is why people just bench and curl.

😢😂

Imagine how your pelvis must be created to be able to stand as wide as that in the bottom position. I couln't do that even when I was 7 years old.

nice ty
