Generating power

11 Aug 09

The power clean is the single most complete exercise for generating overall power. The transferable values are well documented. Was a fair session for me today, slowly getting back into my technique after a three month layoff. The session consisted of:
Power clean & press
Split presses
Squat shoulder presses
Squatting


The Power Clean

  • Toes under the bar
  • Slight lumber curve of the spine
  • Chest out
  • Head up
  • Good grip
  • Take the strain
  • Dead lift
  • Drive up through the hips
  • Through the shrug to complete the clean
