Squat Rx #20: Thoughts on the Power Clean



In this Squat Rx, I share some thoughts on power cleans. For more instruction on olympic lifts, I recommend Dan John's 3-DVD set, Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength, Arthur Dreschler's Encyclopedia of Weightlifting and competition and instructional videos from ironmind.com.

    Kind of like enjoyed it Boris.
    Jump stretch band, I might incorporate it in various situations(including teaching).

    Music's kind of my favorite. Police Academy series "Blue Oyster Bar" dancing music it is.

    I started power clean training recently and this video was just the ticket. As a result, I have dropped way down in weight to get comfortable with the awkwardness of the elbows-up front squat position. I can see why many folks bag power clean training due to this difficult rack position but I intend on mastering it.

    Again thanks for great video!
