Barbell Power Clean And Press Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out, and the barbell on the floor in front of you.
  2. Bend your knees, hinge at the hips, and grip the barbell with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  3. Keep your back straight, chest up, and engage your core as you lift the barbell off the floor, extending your hips and knees explosively.
  4. As the barbell reaches your chest, quickly drop under it by bending your knees and elbows, catching it on your shoulders in a front squat position.
  5. From the front squat position, drive through your heels, extend your hips and knees, and press the barbell overhead until your arms are fully extended.
