Power clean

Reviewer Best technical breakdown here - precise and complete.

Moderator Full phase-by-phase breakdown - first pull, transition, second pull, catch - and explicitly distinguishes power clean from full clean by hip/knee angle.

Reviewer The 'throw and catch, not a lift' framing alone makes this worth the watch.

Moderator Same core teaching progression as the other clean video -- hang position, rack position -- taught live in a seminar. Squarely on topic despite the 'in depth' title actually being about fundamentals.

Reviewer Explains not just what to do but why -- that's what makes it stick.

Moderator This is literally the foundational teaching progression for the power clean -- hang, rack, jumping position. Couldn't be more squarely on topic.

Reviewer The best of this whole batch — explains the why behind every cue, not just the what.

Moderator A full, sustained power clean lesson — starting position and why, hang position, the pull, turnover, catch, plus the pull from the floor and the power-vs-full-clean distinction. Entirely on-topic.

Reviewer Explains the why behind every cue - this is how you actually teach the lift.

Moderator A complete, structured teaching progression - stance, hook grip with the reason for it, rack position mechanics, drop-and-catch drilling, jump position, straight-arm cueing, the arm-pull mistake and its fix. Entirely about executing the lift.

Reviewer About the best 'watch someone actually learn it' footage you'll find.

Moderator This is a live first-lesson coaching session, start to finish - grip, hang, rack, jump position, building up through mid-thigh/below-knee/mid-shin, catching the common arm-pull mistake in real time. Nothing else going on.

Reviewer Clear terminology, correct cues, real teaching progression -- genuinely well done.

Moderator Full power clean lesson from terminology through setup, rack position, and a real teaching progression (phase one jump-and-catch drill). About as squarely on-topic as it gets.

Reviewer A drill for every fault — this is real coaching, not a listicle.

Moderator Entirely clean technique, five tips deep, no digression into other lifts or topics.

Reviewer Best kind of teaching video — breaks it into pieces you can actually drill.

Moderator Full step-by-step teaching progression for the power clean, nothing else covered.

Reviewer A genuinely excellent, step-by-step progression -- worth rewatching.

Moderator Glenn Pendlay at California Strength -- about as credible a source as you'll find for how to teach the clean. Straight progression from rack position to catching in the squat. Exactly the subject.

Reviewer The 'no man's land' cue alone is gold.

Moderator Elite lifter demo, full pull mechanics, catch position - squarely power clean technique.

Reviewer Sharp, specific refinement tips with a genuinely useful drill included.

Moderator Entirely power clean technique refinement — bar contact, hook grip, rack position, all specific to improving the lift. On-topic throughout.

Moderator This is a genuine full-technique breakdown -- start position, first pull mechanics, common start-position errors -- squarely the mechanics of the clean/power clean.

Reviewer The kind of clear, checkable cues that actually fix your setup.

Moderator Thorough, well-organized walkthrough of the clean's four key positions -- start, pickup, extension, catch -- directly on the power clean's technical foundation.

Reviewer Explains the why behind each position -- genuinely useful teaching.

Reviewer Precise, well-explained technical breakdown you can actually apply.

Moderator Directly on the two most important checkpoints of the power clean pull (balance at the knee, power position at the thigh), with a specific drill to groove it.

Reviewer Says exactly what goes wrong and why, no wasted words.

Moderator Clean four-phase breakdown of the power clean specifically, sport-conditioning framing aside.

Reviewer Best kind of clean tutorial - built in stages.

Moderator This is a genuine power clean teaching progression - hook grip, hip muscle cleans, shin cleans, then adding the jump. Textbook coaching build-up for the actual lift.

Reviewer A clean five-step finish that actually ties the series together.

Moderator The capstone of the teaching series - stitches hang, jump-and-catch, below-knee, and floor positions into the complete power clean. Entirely about executing the lift.

Reviewer Explains the physics, not just the cue - that's what makes it stick.

Moderator Focused entirely on one piece of the lift - the jump position and the straight-elbow requirement - explaining the physics of why bent elbows leak power. Still squarely about executing the power clean, just a narrower slice of it.

Reviewer Correct, well-drilled coaching on the catch -- assumes you know the earlier positions already.

Moderator Entirely focused on one phase of the power clean -- the jump-and-catch into the rack -- with repeated emphasis on the exact fault (elbows bending early, a 'power leak') that kills this position for most lifters.

Reviewer Clear technique plus a genuinely useful mistakes list — does what it says on the tin.

Moderator A ground-up power clean tutorial — stance, hand position, pull mechanics, triple extension, catch — plus a dedicated common-mistakes list. Entirely on-topic.

Reviewer Builds it block by block - good method.

Moderator Straight progression drill for the power clean, floor cues included.

Reviewer This is how you actually teach the leg drive, not just describe it.

Moderator Whole video is leg mechanics through the pull — foot stance, knee extension/flexion sequencing, the reciprocation point below the knee. That's a core piece of clean technique, not a tangent, even though it's one component (legs) rather than the whole lift.

Reviewer Correct and well-organized, but it's a checklist — it assumes you already know the vocabulary.

Moderator A clean six-phase breakdown of the power clean — start position, first pull, second pull, turnover, catch, recovery. Nothing else in the video.

Reviewer Smart progression, but it's coach-to-coach narration more than a direct lesson to you.

Moderator Entirely about how this program teaches the clean to brand-new athletes, bottom-up: approach, grip, start position, then a floor-to-knee-to-deadlift-to-clean progression. No digression.

Reviewer Clear drill from a genuinely elite lifter, addresses a real sticking point.

Moderator A specific warm-up drill isolating the jump-and-turnover portion of the power clean for coordination and timing -- squarely on-skill.

Moderator Same solid warm-up progression as its companion clip, extended into a catch-position variant that directly addresses foot width on the reception.

Reviewer The catch-width fix alone is worth the watch.

Reviewer Specific, correct cue that actually changes how the pull feels.

Moderator Squarely about power clean pull mechanics -- specifically correcting an explosive-start habit in favor of a controlled first pull.

Reviewer Three real fixes, each with the 'why' attached — no filler tips here.

Moderator Hang power clean specifically, but the three faults it fixes (low hang position, leg drive vs. hip-only extension, fast full turnover) are core power-clean mechanics that transfer directly, not hang-specific quirks.

Reviewer Good diagnosis of WHY arms bend, not just telling you to stop doing it — minus a quick plug for their own program.

Moderator Whole video is arm/upper-back mechanics during the clean pull and turnover — wrist flexion, lat activation, avoiding arm bend. That's squarely a clean-technique topic, just narrowed to one component.

Reviewer Accurate and credible, but it tells you what happens more than how to get there.

Moderator Covers the entire lift cycle for the power clean start to finish — setup, first pull, second pull, turnover, power-position catch versus a squat clean. Nothing else in the clip. Squarely on-topic.

Reviewer Clear, repeatable bar-path cue that actually builds toward the full lift.

Moderator A genuine teaching progression for the hang variant aimed explicitly at people new to the movement, focused on the bar path that directly transfers to the full power clean's pull.

Moderator Squarely power clean, from a genuinely credible Olympic-weightlifting coaching source, with a specific technical distinction called out.

Reviewer The squat-position cue is a real, specific fix, not generic advice.

Reviewer Nails the setup fundamentals that everything else in the lift depends on.

Moderator Squarely power clean setup and technique, wrapped in a strength-for-jumping context.

Reviewer Good drills, just dig through the chatter a bit.

Moderator Runs through front rack opening, turnover drill, contact position and catch - all power clean specific, explicitly billed as accessible variations for new lifters.

Reviewer Solid technical detail if you already know the lifts.

Moderator Direct, correct technique comparison -- stance, grip width, hip position, and specifically what separates a power clean's catch (above parallel) from a full clean. Exactly the subject.

Reviewer Great context for why you're doing this lift, not a how-to on its own.

Moderator This is entirely about the power clean - the pull phases, why a power clean instead of a squat clean fits this program's goals (front-squat carryover, range of motion, weight moved). It's theory/rationale rather than form cues, but it's squarely about the lift itself, not a tangent.

Reviewer Good drill (the timing rock), just leans on watching the rep more than being told what to do.

Moderator Live coaching session on the clean's explosion and catch — contact point timing drill, hook grip, front-rack position. All clean-relevant despite the 'clean & jerk' title; no jerk content actually appears in this excerpt.

Reviewer Correct, useful, but it's a quick clarification, not a full technique lesson.

Moderator Directly defines what makes a power clean a power clean -- catch height above 90 degrees versus catching in the hole for a full clean -- exactly the distinction lifters get confused about.

Reviewer Helpful definitions, not a how-to.

Moderator Directly defines what a power clean is versus a full clean and a hang clean - squarely on topic, even though it's vocabulary rather than a movement walkthrough.

Reviewer Good fundamentals, just adjust the catch in your head.

Moderator Most of this - grip, first pull, leg drive, keeping the bar close, the common mistake of not finishing the pull - applies directly to power clean, but the catch he demonstrates is a full squat receive.

Reviewer Fun trivia, but I can't teach someone to lift with this part.

Moderator The whole video is framed around the power clean - its history, whether to program it - so it's on-topic as a subject, just not a movement tutorial in the part I can read.

Reviewer Correct shorthand cues, but assumes you already roughly know the movement.

Moderator On-topic and it makes a genuinely useful distinction — 'power' means catching in a partial squat rather than a full squat/full clean — but it's a very short demo, and the back half wanders into recommending specific barbell brands for 'spin and whip' rather than staying on technique.
