How to do Power Clean
Follow the numbered positions in the image and use each instruction as its matching cue.
- 1
Set the starting position
Stand over the bar with feet about hip-width, grip just outside the legs, brace the trunk, flatten the back, and keep the shoulders slightly in front of the bar.
Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.
- 2
Perform the effort phase
Drive through the floor, extend the hips and knees powerfully, keep the bar close, then pull under it rather than curling it with the arms.
Breathing: Exhale through the effort.

Control the end position
Receive the bar on the front shoulders with elbows forward, feet balanced, knees soft, and the torso upright.
Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

Return under control
Stand fully, then lower the bar to the thighs and return it to the floor with a controlled hinge and neutral spine.
Breathing: Exhale as you stand from the catch, then inhale as you lower the bar to the floor.
Setup and safety note: Use the declared Power Clean setup, maintain controlled joint alignment, and stop if the movement causes pain.
