How to: Barbell Clean Pull
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and the barbell on the ground close to your shins.
- Bend at the hips and knees to grasp the barbell with an overhand grip.
- Engage your core and keep your back flat as you lift the barbell by extending your hips and knees.
- Pull the barbell up along your body, extending fully at the hips.
- Lower the barbell back down with control to the starting position.
