Guidelines for the Clean Press
With a barbell on the floor in front of you and your shoulders shoulder-width apart, start the clean and press.
Make sure the bar is over the tops of your feet at the halfway point (the space halfway between your toes and heel) after you’ve loaded the proper weight.
From here, stoop down and use an overhand hold to grab the bar.
When your thighs are parallel to the floor, lower your buttocks to the floor. When doing so, watch out that your knees do not track out over your toes.
Make sure your lower back does not have an arch by looking straight ahead and maintaining a straight posture. Now is the time to start the exercise.
Using your triceps and shoulders, push the weight straight above your head to complete the exercise.
Lower the weight to your chest and then, using the same technique, return it to the floor under strict control.
Continue until you reach the required number of reps.
Clean and Press Tips:
Your lower back should never arch! Any lower back arch is a recipe for harm.
If you feel like the clean and press is pulling you too far back, drop the weight.
