MOVEMENT TIP: The Hang Power Clean
This week CrossFit Seminar Staff member Julie Foucher demonstrates the Hang Power Clean for us. By this stage you may be getting a little confused with all the different names and variations on the clean! But don't panic just yet - it's fairly straightforward when you break it down using the ideas of Hang and Power that we learnt in the previous weeks i.e.:
1. Hang - starting from above the ground (usually just above the knee)
2. Power - don't have to drop into a full squat position
3. Clean (differentiates it from the Snatch, the other Olympic Weightlifting movement)
