Clean

Olympic lifting

Lift the bar from the floor to the front rack in one fast pull.

How it’s done

  1. Set up like a deadlift.
  2. Pull the bar off the floor, then extend hips, knees and ankles hard.
  3. Pull yourself under the bar and catch it on your front shoulders.
  4. Stand up.

Coaching tips

The bar stays close. Jump, then pull under. Elbows around fast.

Scaling options

Hang clean, dumbbell clean, power clean.
