How to Squat Clean
Starting Position
1. Place the barbell in the center of your feet and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Hinge at the hips to lean your upper body forward, grab the barbell, and lift your chest.
Proper Form
1. Strongly rise from the floor and pull the barbell close to your body.
2. Receive the barbell in front of your shoulders (front rack) while simultaneously squatting deeply.
3. As you rise from the squat, straighten your upper body and stabilize the barbell.
Breathing Technique
Inhale while pulling from the floor, and exhale as you rise.
Precautions
1. Since the movement is complex, practice with light weights and low repetitions.
2. Keep your back straight and ensure the barbell does not move away from your body.
