Power clean form

As someone who just attended an Olympic Weightlifting coaching clinic conducted by Coach Gale Hatch, Tommy Moffit's mentor, and former national champion and Olympian Matt Bruce, I will inform you that the image you posted is bullshite according to the USA Weightlifting federation.

Proper Power Clean Form

boxcar willie is indeed correct.

The primary stipulations for a true power clean are as follows:
1) The lifter must place a clean grip on the bar
2) The lifter must begin the pull from the floor
3) The lifter must finish the lift in the power position (vertical torso with slight leg extension) and the bar placed in the rack position
