Hang Squat Cleans

2. With the bar in the hang position, above the knee, the athlete will perform a hang squat clean.

The athlete will then fully extend the hips and knees, the bar in the press position with the arms fully extended and the athlete’s head through the window and the athlete’s feet on the same plane. Once these points have been accomplished, the athlete can bring the bar down to the front rack position to begin the next rep.
