WHAT IS IT

The Power Clean moves a barbell from the floor to the shoulders in one explosive pull, caught above parallel. It trains the hip extension that every jump, sled start and sandbag pick-up in HYROX depends on.

HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY

  1. 1Set up with the bar over mid-foot, shins close, back flat and arms straight.
  2. 2Push the floor away and keep the bar tight to the legs as it rises.
  3. 3Extend the hips and knees violently once the bar passes the thigh.
  4. 4Pull yourself under and catch the bar on the front delts in a quarter squat.
  5. 5Stand fully, then return the bar to the floor under control.
