Power Clean from Blocks
The Power Clean from Blocks is a olympic weightlifting movement that targets your hamstrings. Here's how to do it with clean form.
How to do the Power Clean from Blocks
- Set the blocks so the bar starts just below knee height, then take your power clean grip and establish a flat back.
- Initiate by pushing the floor away, then drive your hips through aggressively as the bar passes mid-thigh.
- Shrug, pull, and catch the bar in a front rack at a quarter-squat depth.
- Reset your starting position completely between reps — don't rush the setup from blocks.
