• Set up with the barbell, foot, and shoulder in one vertical line to ensure you always grab the bar in the same spot.
• Perform clean pulls to the knee to build confidence and consistency in your start position and initial pull.
• Keep your heels down and make sure your knees move back into a vertical shin position as the bar passes them.
• Use clean from hang below the knee to isolate and practice the transition around the knees.
• Keep an active upper body by pulling your elbows high and turning your wrists around quickly during the turnover.
• Ensure a great front rack by wrapping your hand completely around the barbell, keeping elbows high, and feeling the bar rest on your midsection rather than high on the chest.
