What it concludes

• Turning elbows out slightly in the setup internally rotates the arms to turn on the lat muscles and keep the barbell close to the body.
• Foot pressure should be spread evenly across the entire foot, rather than shifting entirely into the heels or toes.
• The power clean catch position requires thighs to be above 90 degrees.
