Power Clean Form ???

[ffknight84]

Our coach has us doing power cleans and i just wanted to clarify something.

A power clean is a combination of a deadlift and hang clean, in that it is two seperate pulls?

Or is it one big explosion from the floor?

Just wondering, the former is what i am under the impression is correct.

the portinon of the clean that comes from the floor to the knee is the first phase and it is like a deadlift in that it is slow but unlike a dl in that the hips should be kept back

so essentially ur just using your legs and no back

from the floor to the knee there should be no change in back angle
