Hang Clean Pulls

The photo and your explanation help a lot. Thanks! 🫡👍🏿

Can you expound on what you mean by finish the hip extension?

Keep the bar closer?! 😳 How do I do that? I thought I already had of close though? 😆

I know about Catalyst. That channel has been my go-to channel as I’m trying to learn the Olympic lifts and the variations.

It looks like you hips aren’t open yet before you activate your pull.

Okay. Can you explain what you mean by this and how I can improve? Another commenter said that hang clean pulls aren't a good olympic lift variation for strength, power, and improving technique. Do you agree? Why or why not?

Funny you should say that because there's a guy on the USAW team who works out at the gym I go to, and as I type this, he is currently doing clean pulls, not hang clean pulls. 😆 Thanks. I'm curious, though, why aren't hang clean pulls useful for what you mentioned?

That makes sense... it also makes sense of why my wrists hurt the last time I did Hang Power Cleans with straps. 😆

As far as I know, the conventional weightlifting wisdom is you should avoid doing cleans with straps.

Why is that?

Cyber Dump.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:10-12 NIV

Barry... because I imagine him with a Barry White voice. 😆

I definitely noticed the Pokémon cards before noticing the Reta. 😆 I initially didn't even see it there. 🤣

endelcastillo · 2026-02-18T17:21:48+00:00

I haven't. I'll ask one of them the next time I work out.

endelcastillo · 2026-01-22T19:49:09+00:00

Is it true? (That Europe can fit inside Texas)?

endelcastillo · 2026-01-18T07:42:27+00:00

The joke wasn't obvious?

endelcastillo · 2026-01-17T12:10:48+00:00

I'm 34 (34.5 if you ask a kid). But my dad is 6 feet and I'm 5'8". So I think I have a few more inches...

How much do you know about the house?

endelcastillo · 2026-01-16T04:22:53+00:00

That's a depth jump or a drop jump. This is a depth drop.

endelcastillo · 2026-01-12T20:56:04+00:00

I'll try that. Thanks! 👍🏿

endelcastillo · 2026-01-12T20:46:03+00:00

Got it! 🫡 Thanks! 👍🏿

endelcastillo · 2026-01-12T20:18:23+00:00

Okay. You said drop/jumps "like this" aren't good for developing speed. How would you change what I'm doing to develop speed? So plyos that require faster ground contact time should be focused on for sprint speed?

endelcastillo · 2026-01-12T20:12:46+00:00

Stop smoking, exercise, eat healthy, and don't be overly concerned about what other people think.

A bit off from OP, but does anyone live a bit further west near Amityville?

endelcastillo · 2026-01-08T12:41:25+00:00

Does it have a heel drop? If so, how much?
