Power Clean

The Power Clean is a dynamic, full-body exercise that targets the glutes, hamstrings, quads, back, shoulders, and core by explosively lifting a barbell from the floor to the shoulders in one motion. This movement builds power, strength, and coordination, making it a staple in athletic and performance-based training. It’s highly effective for developing explosive strength and improving overall athleticism.
