Power Cleans vs. Squat Cleans

I have no patience for Power Cleans -- a hip pop and a reverse curl. If you are going to train movement rather than muscles then you need to move through a full range of motion. Power cleans all too often become lazy and can teach sloppy technique. If a person has any interest in moving on to handling Clean and Jerk with any real weight they should first practice squat cleans.

Hang Squat Cleans are a great way to crank out reps. That builds work capacity, while reinforcing good form.



Flush the Power Cleans.
