Hang Power Clean

Hang Power Clean from Mid-Thigh

BarbellPlate Free weightsFunctional

The hang power clean begins from a standing hang position at mid-thigh rather than the floor, then explosively pulls the bar to the front rack caught above parallel. Removing the floor pull emphasizes the second pull and hip drive while reinforcing fast triple extension. Hinge to the hang, keep the bar against the thighs, then snap the hips and shrug to elevate the bar before whipping the elbows under it.
