To start doing cleans, focus on proper setup and technique.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Setup:
- Crouch down.
- Grip the bar with a clean grip (slightly wider than your deadlift grip).
- Chest over the bar.
- Arms straight.
- Wrists down.
- Keep your spine neutral – avoid hyperextending or sticking your butt out.
-
First Pull: Initiate the pull from the floor to your knees.
