Remember...the power clean consists of 2 pulls.
1st Pull...Pull the barbell from the floor to your knees. The 1st pull is similar to a Deadlift and is a slow movement.
2nd Pull... Pull the barbell from your mid-thighs to your shoulders by extending your hips. The 2nd pull is an explosive movement
Benefits of a power clean...
Power Development- You achieve higher speeds faster. More power and more speed means more strength.
Muscle Development- Power Cleans work your posterior chain hard: calves, hamstrings, glutes & lower back but also upper-back & traps.
