Learn how to power clean from Olympic weightlifter Darren Barnes.
Join us as we dive into how to power clean, a compound exercise that engages multiple muscle groups, enhances power, and builds overall strength. We’ll demonstrate each phase of the lift, including the setup, first pull, transition, second pull, catch, and recovery.
With detailed instructions and visual cues, we’ll help you understand the key components of a successful power clean, such as proper grip, hip extension, triple extension, and efficient bar path. We’ll also provide tips to address common errors and ensure optimal safety during the exercise.

Key points:
1) Keep your arms long and your elbows turned out to the side (shoulder internal rotation). This will keep the bar close to you during the initial pull.
2) Keep your bodyweight spread evenly across your entire foot. Often athletes will shift onto their toes or back onto their heels during the pull of a clean. This leads to an off balance lift and subsequent jumping forward or back in order to save the lift.
3) Extend! Don’t cut your pull short. At the top of the lift you will see extension of the trunk, hips and ankles.
