Clean from Blocks

This clean variation is ideal for athletes tracking Olympic lifting performance in the FitnessTracker. It sharpens technique and allows focused overload in the explosive phase of the lift.

Instructions

1. Set the barbell on blocks at mid-shin or just below the knee. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grip the bar just outside your legs.
2. With a flat back and upright posture, drive through your heels to initiate the pull.
3. As the bar reaches your thighs, explosively extend through your hips and knees to launch the bar upward.
4. Shrug and pull yourself under the bar, catching it in a front squat position.
5. Stand up tall and return the bar to the blocks for the next rep.
