Quadriceps Exercises - Power Cleans


Exercise Advice: *It is highly recommended
that you employ the advice and supervision of a certified trainer
while learning how to properly perform this exercise. This is
a combination exercise that truly works your whole body. Be sure
to be in an area specifically designed for Power Cleans or somewhere
that has enough room to execute this exercise. Place a barbell on
the floor at your feet. Keeping your back straight, squat down and
grasp the barbell with both hands using an overhand grip just beyond
shoulder width apart. In one motion, lift the barbell by using your
legs so that you end up standing up straight. Be sure to keep your
arms hanging straight down so that the barbell ends up being just
about mid-thigh level. Next, in one motion, lift the barbell to
your chin by raising your elbows up toward the ceiling while one
of your legs drops back underneath you to give you additional support.
Just as the barbell nears your chin, you will drop your elbows which
will cause your wrists to tuck underneath the barbell. Finally,
bring your support leg back underneath you so that you are now standing
up straight with the barbell tucked under your chin. Return to the
start position and repeat.
