The two explosion lifts I will be going over are called hang cleans and clean and presses. I will start off with hang cleans. Hang cleans are very similar to power cleans. First you get a regular straight bar and just add some lift weight first. Then grab the bar stand up with it while your back is straight and then make the bar go back down below your knees and explode up and throw the weight on your chest just like power cleans.
The next lift is called clean and presses. First get a regular bar just like hang cleans. Then clean it up the same way i explained it in the power cleans blog but the only thing different is when you have the bar on your chest explode up and press the bar above your head. This is a very good lift to increase your explosion and this will definatly make you better at a lot of sports.
I remember you talking to me about this and telling me the difference. Now that its in words I think I get it a little more!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe clean and press is one of the hardest lifts ever. you know a lift is hard when the two lifts that make it up are extremly hard by themselves
ReplyDeleteDo you need to use a spotter for this lift? It sounds like it would be really hard on your back. Can it be dangerous at all?
