Clean Deadlift Guide

Main Muscle: Hamstrings

  1. Begin standing with a barbell close to your shins. Your feet should be directly under your hips with your feet turned out slightly. Grip the bar with a double overhand grip or hook grip, about shoulder width apart. Squat down to the bar. Your spine should be in full extension, with a back angle that places your shoulders in front of the bar and your back as vertical as possible.
  2. Begin by driving through the floor through the front of your heels. As the bar travels upward, maintain a constant back angle. Flare your knees out to the side to help keep them out of the bar's path.
  3. After the bar crosses the knees, complete the lift by driving the hips into the bar until your hips and knees are extended.

Mar 16, 2013 2:15 AM: for those not feeling it in the hams, wear flat shoes (running shoes slope to the toe and push weight forward)or take off shoes (I like to do them this way as can really focus on where your pushing from, but its a bit old school), focus on pushing through your heels . if you push more with the balls...+See More
