What is the Cleans From Blocks?

The Cleans From Blocks is an advanced weightlifting exercise that develops explosive strength and improves Olympic lifting technique. It is used by athletes to build power in the hips, legs, and back.

How to properly perform the Cleans From Blocks

  1. Position the blocks at a height that allows you to start with the bar just below your knees.
  2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and toes pointing forward.
  3. Grasp the barbell with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  4. Keep your back straight, chest up, and core engaged as you lift the barbell off the blocks by extending your hips and knees.
  5. As the barbell reaches hip level, explosively extend your ankles, knees, and hips, and shrug your shoulders to generate upward momentum.
  6. Pull your body under the bar and catch it on your shoulders in a front rack position.
  7. Stand up straight, fully extending your hips and knees, and return the barbell to the starting position by lowering it back down to the blocks.
  8. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
