What do \"Hang\" and \"Power\" mean?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Hello, this is Tatsuro again!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In my last article, I explained the difference between the clean and snatch.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

If you haven't already, please read this article<\/a><\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

    \r\n\t
  1. Hang<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    The \"hang\" is derived from \"hang position\" and indicates a starting position of a clean or snatch.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    The hang position basically means that the bar is above your knees as shown below the picture.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n

    \"\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n

    If it says hang before clean or snatch e.g. \"hang snatch\", begin by setting up with the barbell above your knees and start the lift that position.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n

    The clean or snatch from the hang position are less difficult than starting from the floor, and this is often where we start practicing when people begin doing cleans and snatches.<\/span><\/p>\r\n


    \r\nIn addition, when starting from the floor, your bar will always pass through this \"hang position,\" so it is good for practicing form.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

     <\/p>\r\n

      \r\n\t
    1. Power<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

      \"Power\" indicates the position in which you receive the bar.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

      The clean and snatch are divided into two categories depending on the position in which you receive the bar.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

       <\/p>\r\n

      (1) Power clean and power snatch<\/span><\/p>\r\n

      Lift the bar high and receive it with the hips and knees slightly flexed (hip joint not lower than knee).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

       <\/p>\r\n

      (2) Squat clean and squat snatch<\/span><\/p>\r\n

      The action of lowering down to a squat where the hip joint is lower than the knee and receiving the bar in this position.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

      When the word \"clean\" or \"snatch\" is used without any prefix, it refers to this squat clean and squat snatch.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

       <\/p>\r\n

      Many people may not understand a written explanation of the difference between the two, so let's check it out in the video below.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
