Clean and Press (Barbell)
Also called Clean and Press, BB Clean and Press
How to do it
Take a shoulder-width stance with the knees inside the arms and the bar over mid-foot. Pull the bar from the floor and clean it to the front rack, reset the feet and brace, then press it overhead to a full lockout before returning it to the shoulders and the floor.
Setup
Start as a deadlift with the bar over mid-foot. Clean to the front rack, reset the feet and brace, then press overhead.
Where you should feel it
The whole body — legs and back to get it to the shoulders, shoulders and triceps to finish overhead.
When to use it
A full-body strength and conditioning lift. Keep reps low and technique sharp; it is a poor choice when fatigued.
