How To Warm Up For The Clean | Olympic Weightlifting Basics

I've been all over the place with trying different warm ups, and at the end of the day I've found that practicing the movement you are going to perform tends to work more often than not.

This is a general warm up for the clean that includes some skill development. This does not include specific drills based on your specific technical weaknesses however, so feel free to add tall cleans, power cleans, muscle cleans etc. as needed.

Perform 5 reps with an empty barbell of each

  1. Strict Clean High Pull

  2. Clean Turnover

  3. Front Squat

  4. Hip Clean

  5. Hang Clean

  6. Clean

Check out the video below for a demonstration with points of performance.
