Smith Machine Hang Power Clean
The Smith Machine Hang Power Clean is a strength movement that targets your hamstrings. Here's how to do it with clean form.
How to do the Smith Machine Hang Power Clean
- Start standing with the bar at mid-thigh, hips hinged, back flat, and knees slightly bent.
- Explosively extend your hips and shrug hard, then pull yourself under the bar.
- Catch the bar in a front rack position with elbows high and knees bent to absorb the load.
- Reset fully between reps — this is a power movement, not a grind.
