Clean and Press

Barbell Shoulders

The Clean and Press is a strength movement that targets your shoulders. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Clean and Press

  1. Clean the bar to front rack, feet hip-width, core braced.
  2. Press the bar straight overhead to full lockout.
  3. Keep your glutes and abs tight — don't hyperextend your lower back.
  4. Lower the bar back to front rack under control before repeating.
