| Our Clean variation this cycle will be the Hang Squat Clean. Similar to the Hang Squat Snatch, our purpose of focusing on Hang Cleans this cycle is to develop better force production in the triple extension and to be more aggressive in pulling ourselves under the bar. |
Execution: With a clean grip, lift the bar to the standing position. Lower the bar under control to the chosen hang position (most often mid-thigh, knee or right below the knee). Once reaching the hang position, initiate the clean by pushing against the floor with the legs first. Drive the legs against the floor and extend the hips aggressively, keeping the bar in close proximity to the body and bringing it into contact with the upper thigh as you reach complete extension. After extending, pick up and move your feet into your squat stance while pulling your elbows high and to the sides to move yourself down into a squat under the bar while keeping the bar and your body as close to each other as possible. Turn the elbows around and up into the clean rack position as you sit into the squat, stabilize, and recover to a standing position.
