Personal Trainer Michael Behnken, MS, NASM-CPT-PES, CSCS

The high pull is the 2nd pull of the power clean. It is used to train that part of the power clean and snatch.

The hang high pull is not only for Olympic lifters or athletes.

Even if you aren't looking to increase explosive power, the explosive high pull is great for getting a great contraction for the traps.

The traps work you get from the high pull is different than most other exercises.

You should take a wider than shoulder overhand grip.

The shrug should be the first part of the high pull but you will do it automatically as you explode. Your energy should be transfered through your whole body from your feet.
