  Power Clean Progressions

  A question I am often asked is, “how do you teach a client or athlete a Power Clean?”

  As we teach in the Advanced Strength Training course there are a series of progressions that you need to build upon to be able perform a Power Clean with the correct technique.

  The progressions are Deadlift –> Clean Pull –> Hang Clean –>  Power Clean

  Not only will these progressions enable your clients and athletes to perform these exercises correctly it gives you the coach/trainer the ability to break down a complex lift into easy teachable progressions. Also this approach will speed up the learning process, if you skip one of these steps (i.e. go from Deadlift straight to Power Clean) it often takes twice as long to master the lift.

  The video below will demonstrate each of the progressions, Rob is performing a few rep’s of each exercise.

  This brief video, illustrates the concept of the Power Clean progressions, similar progressions are used when teaching the Power Snatch, hope it helps you with your coaching.
