Clean High-Pull<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phase 1:<\/strong>
\nThis is the first pull. The first pull begins at the middle of the shin and ends at the top of the knee cap. Once again, posture must be correct, arms straight, heels flat, chest up, knees pushed out and eyes straight ahead. The grip for the power clean should be one to two hand grips outside the shoulder to allow for a proper rack (see photos below).
\nPhase 2:<\/strong>
\nThe second pull: begins at the top of the knee cap and ends at mid-thigh (just as with the snatch). This is the most explosive part of the lift. The arms are still straight and the bar is as close as possible to the body. The feet should begin to leave the floor while shrugging at the same time (again, as with the snatch).
\nPhase 3:<\/strong>
\nThis phase is called the high pull. It begins at mid-thigh and ends about chest level.
\nAt this point, you should again be fully extended, on the toes, elbows are bent and pointing upward (not back or down). Make sure that the arms remain straight until this phase is reached. If you bend the arms before this phase, you will lose leverage and speed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Phase 1: Grasp bar from proper position and execute first and second pull keeping motion going.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Phase 3: Passing through 2nd into 3rd pull so that bar is approximately at bottom of chest while on balls of feet – one continuous motion. Drop weights onto floor after lowering them back to extended arm position.<\/p>\n
