jake mckenzie 310 power clean barron collier football no straps

[kooijker1]

Was this recorded using a spoon?

Good squat clean. But I bet his power clean is lighter.

[445kmac]

its a squat clean not powerclean

[Phlipman96761]

what if that bounces on his toe?

[omghaxzorzz]

I love our weightroom.

[vlgagic]

not a power clean b'c it was caught at the bottom of the front squat. thighs were below parallel at the catch

[samauripizzacats101]

i remember in high school the only record i ever had a shot at was powerclean. Took four years but i got that bastard. Great form though

[ChsPlayer91]

strong work man. I hit 355 the other day I probably weigh quite a bit more than you though

[aryde6]

good form, these other ppl are just jealous

[TheGrammerNazi]

oh cool, yet ANOTHER video by someone who doesn't know what a power clean is. I swear, there's more of these videos circulating around the bowels of youtube hell than there are "how to squat properly" videos by morbidly obese people, scrap high schoolers with horrifying technique, or straight-up guidos.

[edj2010]

no shit this is a squat clean, and it says no straps in the info, wtf who uses straps for power cleans, using straps means u cant bend your wrists making it impossible to get your elbows up

[bower4311]

@TheGrammerNazi Haha, I know, why does everybody think that a powerclean you go down into a full squat? I just say clean, that way you can't go wrong, too low or too high.

[acdcad328]

um. what the FUCK are you talking about? this kid has one of the best if not the best form on youtube. seriously. are you FUCKING retarted?

[bchs824]

Our football team is beast

[birdy44olb]

To the people sayin its a "squat clean" All that means is that this dude can power clean even more than what he just did. Squat cleans are harder and better for football cuz its all about quickness.

[matthewCURBSTOMP]

Squat cleans are considerably easier than power cleans... You don't have to move the bar nearly as far. Only way someone should be able to power clean more than they can squat clean is when they're legs are proportionally weak compared to the rest of their body.

[joecandito]

no your way off

squat cleans are alot easier when maxing out

when repping out, its harder

and power cleans are more about quickness

[jgrimsl1]

No. In a squat clean the bar does not have to travel as high as it does in a power clean. Thats why you must execute a full squat to get under it. Power cleans are easier with regard to technique because they don't require as much coordination but you can't do more weight power cleaning than squat cleaning.

[sharkybait]

I actually doubt this guy can power clean more than this. Its really simply physics that allows you to squat clean more than you can power clean. And if you approach a squat clean with the same amount of explosiveness than a power clean, you well no doubt be able to do more weight.

Power cleans are used more in football because the squat clean is harder. If football programs would add the C&J to their program they would then develop some real explosiveness.

[arnoud57]

they would use just as much explosion with a normal power clean, actually, the sole purpose of a power clean in weightlifting is to focus on finishing the pull, aka exploding...

[sharkybait]

Very true and I agree, but don't you think a proper trained athlete could squat clean more than power clean using the same explosiveness for both. I guess it really depends on your goals.

[LayEmOut60]

I've been wondering this for a while, and you seem too know your stuff. Is the Jerk really a beneficial addition if all I do now are cleans?

[montanabarnes42]

see you at Webber

[kmanshuffler]

sweet my name is jake mckenzie :) wish i was tht strong

[PatTheStalker]

That is impressive, kudos to you dude.

[corruptkilla7]

JAKE YOU ARE STRONG

Clean form too, ignore the arrogant dick

[raysist]

It is not technically a power clean because power describes where the bar is caught because in a true power clean the bar is caught in a half to quarter squat aka the power position. This is a squat clean aka full clean aka clean.

[acdcad328]

it technically is a power clean

shut the fuck up

[timmydabandit]

man he needs to be careful the weight all most landed on his foot

[Starr08984078]

hell yeah that would have made the video

[drdan117]

GO BCHS!!!!!! Woooo!! hah we guna destroy sth ft meyers tonight :D 8/29/08

[DropD3adGorg3ous]

that is by deffinition not a power clean, but still a lot of weight. i'm power cleaning 250 right now entering my junior year and will hopefully set a school record with 305 by senior year.

[Jake7Mac]

how is this not a powerclean??

[TxWtlifter]

it is a full clean, not technically a power clean.

In a power clean your legs do not go below parallel.

[chadcite]

Sorry bro its not. I notice alot of people are confused about what is a power clean. A power clean is when the bar is caught in a high position. Above Parallel front squat position. What you did there is a squat clean, where you came all the way down in order to catch the weight on the shoulders.

[Rock4Christ14]

@Jake7Mac He catches low. This is considered a full olympic clean. If he were to catch without squating then it would be a power clean.

[Wendeeznutz360]

@Jake7Mac

theres no explosion and power cleans are not meant to front squated. 

[zodawg0079]

@Jake7Mac He caught it in a full squat.

[karnw36]

yea we dont give a fuck dropdead, your a faggot you blow cock get the hell out

[mailboy22]

@DropD3adGorg3ous Are you retarded? If this isn't a power clean by definition, then what is your opinion of a "power clean"?

[mike51herrera]

yeeee, tite work
