Skill
1 slow pull power clean + 1 power clean
This barbell complex pairs one slow pull power clean with one standard power clean to reinforce proper positioning and explosive power. For the first rep, deliberately control the bar from the floor to just above your knee before accelerating into the catch, then immediately follow it with a regular power clean at normal speed. Keep the bar close to your body and maintain a flat back on both lifts. If you’re new to the lifts do two reps starting in the hang.
