Technique

  1. From a full hang pull as fast as you can, as if launching yourself over the bar.
  2. Elbows down and back, bar at the stomach at the top.
  3. The descent is calm, down to a full hang.

Common mistakes

  • Bending the knees and swinging: the power should come from the back and a fast start.
  • Too many reps per set at full speed, do 3 to 5 clean ones.
