I'm not a weight lifter: Clean and Hang Clean workout

[SergeInho]

im really suffering for your wrists brah...i was seriously scared at the end! watch some video from mike burgener and learn how to do it the proper way.....the weight should end up on your shoulders not on your wrists!

[MrChargerfan21]

1. you wanna start out with ur ass down and looking up at the ceiling

2. deadlift the bar till its about at ur knees or above it

3. do a shoulder shrug and squat down and throw ur elbows under it and then squat up

[tempac91]

Your form is horrible. This is the way clueless, roided highschool jocks clean.

1. The point of a power clean is to lift as much weight as you can using a normal clean stance but without dropping your hips too low (i.e. don't go below parallel).

2. Your elbows must be pointing forward, not towards the floor because the bar does not rest on your wrists but on your chest and shoulders.

3. When you land, you should land on your heels, not your toes.

yeah bro if you ask for tips on youtube community and expect to get a good answer. your mistaken, youtube community is just trolls..

[shishodiadhaval]

Tip: put the clips on so the weights don't fall off and you can avoid injuries

On your power clean I'd work on your bar speed throughout the pull. From the floor into your hang position it should be slow and controlled. Once you get to the hang position you need to explode up with those hips and traps after so you can get your elbows through . Hang clean I'd think about getting a bit more knee bend in your start position so you can get more power into it. A lot of throwers advocate the high catch, not squat, so you have a nice long pull in regard to other squat suggestions

[madaozeki]

Showing excellent power and great potential if you can improve your form. You're doing a lot of things well: nice flat back, good pop at the top, great speed. And several things poorly: VERY early arm bend (wait until you've finished extending fully before the arms bend - they should only bend to reposition to get under the weight, NOT to ever pull actively on the bar), awkward receiving position (receive upright with feet in a squat stance, not splayed out wide) are the 2 biggies...

straps on the low of weight =O

[jmm121884]

maybe for you not for me.. Look at the title smart ass.

[VidiDeus1]

im not saying your weak im saying if your grips that weak you got a problem.

[jmm121884]

nah no grip problem at all. More of a sweat problem. Slippery Grip. thats the only reason I have straps.

[VidiDeus1]

ooo okay i see.

[planbthrasher]

Your not even doing them right. Your Jerking and you dont even dip you elbows under the bar.

[jmm121884]

you only watched the first 20 seconds lol.. They never look but I do them lol

[mezzanodalaghetto]

planbthrasher is right!

[jmm121884]

and your not very helpful. read the title idiot. Doesnt matter because This is old before I knew how to do it.

[mezzanodalaghetto]

Have i been offensive? i said that planbthrasher is right you can start from this toget better!

[mezzanodalaghetto]

By the way this video is not surely a tutorial your form sucks! and maybe your mum too!

[ravetranceaddict2]

squat so your knees are just above your toes keep your butt down look straight foward. then use your legs to lift and explode keeping the bar close to your body. s'how my coach taught me. but your technique isnt as bad as these guys are saying.

[EndlersaurusRex]

You could try dropping lower. It essentially puts you in the front squat position. It hurt a lot to come back up from it, but it'll allow to do a lot more weight if you can get decent at it. Also, I'd suggest swinging your elbows all the way through. . . they shouldn't be pointing down at the ground, but rather out in front of you.

[jmm121884]

Yeah I pull with my arms too much. I've worked on it and now I an get my elbows all the way through it.

[Sierra688]

They should've taught you how to do these lifts in jr. high football. Get your ass down.

[jmm121884]

My school didnt have a weight room or Jr High Football. you arent very helpful.

[vmpfilms]

use explosivness...put all force into it! and release it, start w. lower numbers!

also, work a little on your form, since i cannot explain how to, work w. a friend or something, otherwise, nice try

[Barbwell]

nice butt.... joke joke. i wish I could lift that much..lol nice!

[cbouts519]

Damn good numbers for TERRIBLE form lol Keep up the good work

[jmm121884]

I know, pretty damn bad. but right now I'm working on doing good form with lower numbers.. work my way back up to that weight with good form hopefully.

[delmole85]

advice aye..... EXPLODE DAMMIT!!! Make some noise too... Oh and put some clips on the bar lol

[jmm121884]

ahah this was at a shitty ymca. I'm not htere anymore.
