Above-the-Knee Hang Power Clean October 1, 2026 Start with your clean grip — the same grip you would use for a front squat or jerk. For me, that’s about a thumb’s width outside the thighs. Start standing with the bar just above mid thigh. Lower the bar until it is just above the knee. The key here is foot pressure. Stay balanced through the middle of the foot. From there, drive through the legs and extend the knees and hips together. Then quickly change direction and pull yourself under the bar. Receive it in about a quarter front squat and stand. Do: 2–4 sets 1–3 reps Stay balanced. Finish the drive. Change direction fast. Train what carries over. Bluegrass Barbell Move Better. Lift Better.
