We did max cleans today, below is a brief description of the different type of cleans.

What’s a Power Clean? The Clean starts in a position similar as for the Deadlift. Clean the floor from the barbell by pulling it on your shoulders. Catch the bar in the Front squat starting position. Variations of the Clean:

• Squat Clean. You Squat under the weight. Hips go below parallel. You can lift more weight as you don’t have to pull the bar as high.
• Split Clean. Cleans done with a split, like Lunges. Popular before 1960. Improves single-leg strength & stability and hip mobility.
• Hang Clean. Cleans with the bar starting around knee level instead of on the floor. The bar “hangs”. Powerful movement.
• Power Clean. Hips don’t come lower than parallel. You need to pull the bar higher & accelerate as much as you can.
