agreed i use this as the main video to work on my power clean form. simply, short and also has slow mo which can be beneficial

Christian Craig it seems intimidating at first but just do it and keep doing ,and keep doing it again and you will get it

Its fucking impossible, almost killed myself 5 times in the gym

Kevin Zuniga What went wrong? Need tips?

@@KZ_MMA_ ur doing it wrong

@@bastiaanbogers4114 It's definitely the initial push off with the thighs/hips

paul mryglod rip

paul mryglod well take into consideration that this isn’t how you’re supposed to do it

I leave out that hip thrust it’s too dangerous.

Chxcolate THXNDA your so dumb that’s is how your supposed to do it

"tHiS iSnT hOw YoU aRe sUpPoSeD tO dO iT" It's not like he's won an Olympic gold medal or anything. ;)

Stani M Yes. Me too!!!

What?

Neural Tech how did it go?

Gremory DxD he died

Rip

Deading into a front rack position and squatting at the same time is harder than a son bitch.

The Marko Polo Program not really

What's not perfect about it?

The Marko Polo Program Everything is wrong with his form. In fact, it seems this is the first time he does that lift. I would even say that those are fake plates. Besides, who is he? An olympic gold medalist? So what? Is he supposed to know better than a keyboard warrior?

Jason Daniel you mad?

@@ziguy7883 no just pointing out that you sound like a tool

Jason Daniel ok thanks for the info and while you’re at it maybe try learning something about Olympic lifting.

@@ziguy7883 I already know something about it

thigh in c&j and crotch in snatch ... i think

Rafy Koby thank you.

TheOklahomaRider I'm pretty sure that guy was joking when he said that. In order for it to be a power CLEAN it must go from the ground to your shoulders with out touching any other part of the body

that is a lie stop spewing your noob bullshit. if you dont have a clue what you are talking about dont comment. it is very much supposed to hit your thighs. what makes it power clean is above parallel which it is

Mr Longshlong Where do you people learn this nonsense? Have you ever even watched Olympic weightlifting? The bar should definately hit your thighs.

Iqbal well he has clean and jerked like 235 kg, so his max power clean must be around 190-210

Sprinters have very explosive and powerful hips and legs, usually with good sense of leverage. Like that running back for Penn State who cleaned over 400lbs , which is what only top tier NFL defensive lineman (heavier guys) can do. Athletes like him and Aikenes are in the 1% though.

The squat depth

It does, that is exactly what defines a "power" clean, the fact that you don't receive in a full squat, unlike a (regular) clean. Both lifts require you to fully stand up to locked knees with the weight on the shoulders to be considered successful.

A clean has the full squat. The power clean only has a partial squat so that the lifter can drop and catch the bar

Catching the bar in a full squat would be a different lift - called the ‘clean.’ The ‘power clean’ catches the bar above parallel as shown in the video. Most people should be able to ‘clean’ more weight than they ‘power clean’.

johan riady in a hang clean you start off holding the bar at your waist and just flip it over. The power clean starts on the ground and includes more form

@@bobbygeorge9181 thank you

I’m simply going to copy and paste my response to someone else asking the same question: Catching the bar in a full squat would be a different lift - called the ‘clean.’ The ‘power clean’ catches the bar above parallel as shown in the video. Most people should be able to ‘clean’ more weight than they ‘power clean’.

Yahya Ali u use every muscle lol

Everybody is different, you will have to find the grip and stance that works for you.

@@outsider2k8 *best answer*

Power clean lifts from ground. Hang clean starts from thigh level

Or you can watch Shi Zhiyong who is two times (or even more) lighter than Bjornson powerclean 190 kg in competition, that I call impressive

I'm guessing he either went too heavy without proper warm up, or he lacked mobility in the bottom position (butt wink?).

@@zolboobatbold3792 that's not what butt wink is

Yeah. I'm gonna have to call bullshit on that one. There is pretty much almost no pressure on the back ..

@FoieGras lol idk. it was 3 years ago. though I will say, I threw my back out recently lifting an empty cardboard box. Wasn't any other issue than I was too tense and moved the wrong way too fast. That sucked

@@erakattack Interesting, I've been doing whole back-bends lighting fast (no throwing weights though). Never had a problem. This ISN'T about the exercise itself but a whole slew of other issues then ..

Thats a clean, not a power clean

Tacarmato wait do you mean the leg contact? You’re supposed to do that for cleans. Not sure which videos you’ve been watching but all pro weightlifters essentially aim do that

Because thats how you get the bar up once the weight gets heavy enough. You cant muscle it up with your arms. In fact your arms arent supposed to do really any lifting in this movement.

125

@@jjwp-ql5rv Those metal collars are 2.5kg each.

Edward Elric that’s where you’re supposed to make contact for maximum vertical velocity.

ziguy 7 cheat the bar high enough then

Edward Elric you’re supposed to make contact at the upper thighs that’s how it’s supposed to be done and that’s how you lift maximal weight. If you don’t like that then don’t Olympic lift.

@@edwardelric8354 do a muscle clean you heathen and shut the fuck up

Yeah wtf

You have to get under the bar quick and plant your feet that’s why his feet came up

its to help prime and engage your calves and hips to explode the weight up. Allows for better start and decreases your likelihood using more arms and shoulders, which you don't want to be the dominant agonist..

*he doesn't*

I was taught by a coach that once it hit the thighs, i can kinda use my hips to move it up. That was probably to correct me pulling with my arms. But then i hear so many different things from people.

Naisin Geng seriously?

Why would you need a belt for this? In fact, you do not NEED a belt for any excercises

Omg you’re so right

Yo Mamma you are so wrong on this one the whole point is to involve your hips, because hip explosiveness are very important for running and jumping.

he's referring to the bounce, not the explosive hip opening

they say tapping the bar on the hips helps prime the hips, quads, and calves for the explosion during much heavier sets. have you ever tried to go super heavy on this? the tapping feels natural and really helps with your ability to get on your toes as well.. it only appears as bouncing bc the weight is like 265lbs.. but if he was doing just the bar, the bounce would really be a light tap. This movement is about the maximal production of force/power and engaging your hips this way allows for more power that you just wouldn't get without it.. hence "power" clean... if you can do wit without it, you're also probably not going heavy enough to have to sink down into it either, which would make it just a clean then...

You will make contact with your thigh or hip if you keep the bar close to your body. If you look at Olympic weight lifting, all lifters make contact when them do clean or snatch. I think some trainer/coach against the contact as beginner end up "hit" the bar which end up bump the bar away from the body. (Lifter either need to pull the bar back or they will ail the catch.) In Klokov's video he always say contact instead the hit as they are 2 different thing. When you do clean or snatch you should move the bar to the body make the contact, the problem is some people did hip thrust to meet the bar. (Klokov said the best, hip thrust is for sex not for weight lifting.) Both Torokhtiy and Klokov teach the drill that you move the bar to the body to make the contact and than clean pull or snatch pull. If you watch Mark Rippetoe's video he make contact with the bar as well. BTW.. Aleksey TOROKHTIY is gold medalist of 2012 London game.

No, the point of the power clean is to be able to pull the bar high enough so that you can catch it above parallel.

those plates are in kg. he did 275 lbs for a demonstration video and is a world class lifter

so i hope you are joking

pretty sure those are 25 kilo plates so it would be around 265 lb

Jules Saint-Martin ohh I'm I'm stupid lmao thanks

Danny bruh it's an animation

First off it's not an animation. Secondly, the weight is 125 kilograms which equals about 275 pounds. The dude knows what he's doing.

.... It's 25 kg for the bar. That's how you get to 125 kg.

don't know if troll or noob

Its 120 kilos, or around 265lbs

1411rammstein you’re right, and even if it was pounds it’s just a demonstration video lol.

What would make it a power clean?

Kirosana Perkunos Don't go below parallel when catching the barbell.

Your comment is unnecessary and incorrect.Congrats bud !!

he didn't.

power clean is when you don't drop under parallel (regular) clean is when you drop ass to grass

Wendy Clark im 12 and i can rep 315 easy

Majestic 12 I'm a fetus and I can replay 1000 pounds

the6ixs headhoncho 😂😂😂😂😂😂

he can do over 400 lbs

Tyler Durden shit you not there are seniors at my school that do 385

yes it is

No, it's a half squat clean. A Power Clean is a quarter squat.

courrierdebois there is literally no olympic move called a half squat clean. There is, however, a power clean. Which this clearly is.

I know there's nothing called a half squat clean! :) Check out any of the 10 billion power clean tutorials or videos and you'll see the the bar is caught in a 1/4 squat position. Check out Rippetoe and Thrall.

However, because hes not going into a full squat clean, its still a power clean. Yes, he may be squatting down a bit, but that still doesnt make it a full clean. Therefore, still a power clean
