Thread: Barbell Hang Clean and Press

I love this exercise. The version that I do is called a power press. I saw it on the gaspari nutrition site. It is the actual hang clean movement, then do 2 overhead press reps. All that equals one repetition. I usually start my delt workout with these. 3 sets of 5 total reps per set. I also learned to swallow my pride and start off with light weight to get the proper form down. It makes a huge difference.

Link please.

The press part sometimes annoys my right shoulder impingement, but I do powercleans from a hang a few times a week. Love 'em.

I do these and it's nice to find someone else who does, I couldn't find the movement anywhere and started to think I was doing something completely made up or wrong. With good form, one hell of a fun excersize!

I like the double press movement pretty much an all-in-one shoulder/traps WO. Throw in some delt raises and you'd be done.

I know the feeling, after breaking my clavicle and some tendons I was a bit hesitant on this exercise but its been good so far. Can't believe how good a feedback I am getting.

Same here.

Its funny, but while I was searching the net for the proper way to do them there were various different videos with different forms.....

You might be seeing some folks doing jerks, and some doing presses.

I was going to say clean and jerk's are fun too, more of a lower body exercise but there are so many different variations you can do, like split jerks for example.

What's really bad is that other forums and body building sites are posting the wrong exercises... YouTube being the worst offender.

I like them too.

Form A.


Form B.


Form C.

a

None of those are close to what I would consider proper form.

skip about 1/3 of the way through to get to the clean portion.

All three of those looked like muscle cleans. The form was way off, these need to be as explosive as possible.

Here's a friend of mine doing a 172kg C&J with good form:
