Hang Clean
Explosive Hip DriveWHAT IS IT
The Hang Clean starts from the thigh rather than the floor, which removes the first pull and isolates the hip extension. It is the version most often written on a whiteboard for conditioning blocks because it is quicker to cycle.
HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY
- 1Stand tall holding the bar at the hip with a hook grip.
- 2Push the hips back and slide the bar down to just above the knee.
- 3Drive the hips forward hard and shrug the bar upward.
- 4Drop under and catch it on the front delts, elbows high.
- 5Stand, then lower back to the hang for the next rep.
