Power Clean Demo

[paulockleford]

I only have standard cast iron plates, Im guessing they could smash if I dropped the bar like that in my garage?

I dont want to risk it to find out as they are so expensive!

[gogeta486]

@paulockleford If you have iron weights go out to the side of your lawn and do your power cleans, its safe to drop it in the grass as long as its thick or the dirt is moist, the weights will sink in about an inch every time though.

One of the best moves for overall body strenght.... I did this a lot back in the day when I still played hockey. I could powerclean as much as I benched which was 300lbs.

It's basicly an easy move but takes some time to master properly.

[CorpseGrinder18]

Thanks for the demo dude. About healed from my shoulder injuries & ready to learn these for rippe's program

[jonshultz]

@CorpseGrinder18 what did u do to recover?

[CorpseGrinder18]

rest haha. Doctor prescribed me medicine to help with inflammation but it's really a lot of rest, not lifting with my left arm, definetly take it easy. I bought a new bottle of Super Cissus RX to help, look into that if you'd like.

[mtsoccer35]

is there a reason he is throwing it after hes done?

[Cruks]

I'm just dropping it, those are bumper plates on the bar

[mtsoccer35]

oo ok i wasnt sure y u were doing tht lol

[GriNGoLocoTe]

Doesn't the complete exercise involve lowering it down as well instead of dropping it? Or is it normal to drop it?

[Cruks]

It's normal to drop it. There really isn't much of an eccentric component to the classical lifts.

[GriNGoLocoTe]

How would you do it without dropping it? I have a sensitive floor, dropping would shatter it. And I also think my weights aren't drop proof.

[jusesaro]

dont dropping it, quite simple

[GriNGoLocoTe]

it's not quite simple if your a beginner...

[MidnighWolf]

Simply lower it back down, go through the motions of the clean- deadlift-upright row--switch-squat, in reverse- switch your wrists back round and lower it to the floor :)

[GriNGoLocoTe]

Thanks for the reply dude, I'll try and do it.

[IonicGell200]

then youre shit.

[xskillsx101]

@GriNGoLocoTe And if you have heavy weights with no chalk, dropping it to the hang position can be killer on your palms and fingers. Better just to drop and guide it to the floor.

[GriNGoLocoTe]

Thanks for the tip man!

[crazy805er]

uhm im sorta new to weight lifting can u tell me y some ppl hold it on the way baq down and some pple dont like in this vid they jus drop it wut would u reccomend???

[snoopyofdoomxx]

It's been 3 months, but incase you haven't figured out...Some gyms don't have bumper plates, and they can mess up the floor if you just drop them, I think. And, if there are bumper plates, they jump around a lot and if you don't catch them bad things will happen.

[cmnall]

I'd recommend a spell checker.

[crazy805er]

i'd recommend u get a life and dont leave dumbass comments that dont relate to the video u fag.

[xplund]

Notice he keeps his feet hip width apart.  In my ignorance I keep mine closer to shoulder width apart. Glad I saw the video.

[raccoonstarsmember]

that's bad ass, thx for sharing

[xxxrangeridxxx]

dude totally awesome lift, u got the best form i seen. how much r u lifting in vid and wats your max?

[maxymyllyon]

wow lotsa people posting here that dont know wtf they're talking about.

good form, bumper plates are working nice. thanks for the video.

[xplund]

Not very many people know how to do a good power clean.  you just watch and learn and hope the guy youre watching and learning from knows what he's doing.

[Joseph267]

Wear wrist wraps or do forearm workouts, they tend to strengthen my wrists.

[mac2k2020]

I am having trouble learning.. you're doing very well ..good job

my biggest problem is my wrists , can't seem to flex them enough without hurting them

[Cruks]

It's a 'POWER' clean, not a squat clean.

What separates a power clean from a clean is that you catch the bar above parallel in a power clean - the above parallel catch is what defines a power clean.

Thanks for watching

[epirvsflavivs]

One of the best replies I've seen on youtube.

[sr19]

nice intelligence

[policeman1313]

I'd say throwing weights like that on the ground is not recommended.

[Cruks]

LOL - The weights are bumper plates which are made to be dropped (I'm not throwing them).

[butterknife25]

good form

[Olylift]

Nice pcleans
