Clean - PP1

1. Hook Grip (Thumbs under your fingers) and hand placement should normally be outside of your thigh. 2. Do an RDL into Power Position 1 (MEANS LOWER THE BAR TO ABOVE THE KNEE WHILE KEEPING SHINS VERTICAL). Keep Your Back Straight or Slightly Arched. Keep your eyes fixed on something about 30 degrees down. 3. Explode the bar up using your hips! Fast and Violent Hip movement (Dont swing your shoulders back). 4. Keep the arms loose and allow the bar to rise on its own and catch the bar on your shoulder with your thigh BELOW parallel to the ground (Low Front Squat Position). Make your your elbow stay high and your hands are loose. **Key Points** Keep the Bar Close to your body! The bar will brush off your thigh when you explode the bar up as long as you keep it CLOSE!
