| Position your feet slightly inside shoulder width. Place your hands on the bar with a grip that is just outside the width of your hips. Keep your back flat and your shoulders over the bar in the bottom position. Your back should be approximately 40 - 45 degrees to the ground. Lift the bar smoothly until your body is in a full upright position. This exercise will help you to learn the starting position and initial pull phase of the power clean. |
