Hang Power Clean vs Power Clean: What is the difference between Hang Power Clean vs Power Clean?Ī very common question, that is often asked is ‘What is the difference between a Hang Power Clean and a Power Clean?’, well, to be honest, I think the most common question is even ‘ What is the difference between a Power Clean and a Hang Clean?’, which I have covered in the Ultimate Guide to PowerĬoming back to the question ‘What is the difference between a Hang Power Clean and a Power Clean?’ The start positions I am using for the Hang Power Clean (top-down)Ĭheck out this short tutorial with double Olympian and World Champion Twan van Gendt demonstrating the different positions of the Hang Power Clean, and myself explaining it. A higher start position makes the movement more knee dominant, even though it’s a very short movement, the lower start position, allows you to use your hips more or allows a stronger hip extension. ![]() The second example looks at the position of the body and the resulting movement. ![]() The first one is focused on force production, and if you look at a higher start position requires you to apply force much more quickly, focus on a quick drop and decelerate the weight quickly, whilst a lower start position, gives you a bit more time to develop force and you can focus on a stronger triple extension. However, I prefer to use more start positions, for the reason, that each start position has either a specific purpose in learning the Hang Power Clean technique or Power Clean technique and/or a specific application to sports performance. The start position of the Hang Power Clean can vary between different heights.
