Barbell Power Clean from Blocks

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Set the barbell level on stable pulling blocks at the programmed height and take your clean grip with the feet in the pulling stance.
2. 02Match the posture you would have at that point of a clean from the floor, brace firmly, and balance over the whole foot before breaking the bar from the blocks.
3. 03Push vertically with the legs, keep the bar close, and extend the hips and knees forcefully to accelerate it after it passes the thighs.
4. 04Pull the elbows high and out as you move your feet to the receiving stance, then whip the elbows through and meet the bar securely on the shoulders above a parallel squat.
5. 05Brake the descent, stand to full extension with the front rack stable, and lower or drop the bar onto the center of the blocks only after the area is clear.
