Hi everybody,
I wanted to ask the more experienced olympic lifters here if they could please help me out figuring which lifts these are:
If someone would know a good page, where one can check them out with a video, this would be great.
Thanks,
matrick
Here’s a good link to start:
www.exrx.net/Lists/PowerExercises.html
Note that both pull variations they show are ‘high pulls’. Doing the exercises from the hang can mean from power position (slightly below waist), high block (mid thigh), above the knees, or below the knees. You can probably find a lot of real world videos on youtube if you search, although searching ‘hang clean’ will come up with a lot of interesting and entertaining results.
Try the following link
I guess that is a good resource!

Thanks, I found that page already, but it seems confusing to me, that two exercises I am looking for are not even listed there or are not listed with the same name.
I was thinking, that the hang clean and the hang clean pull are essentially the same thing and that this video www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/OlympicLifts/HangPull.html would be the best example for the clean pull and hang clean pull, would you agree?
I would agree. I think its just a question of semantics. Far be it for me to be the authority. Someone will come along with more knowledge than I.
Effectively all those lifts are variations on the same movement, varied in where you start the lift or where you finish.
So, a hang clean is basically a full clean minus the first part of the pull, i.e. it’s started from the hang. A full clean is started from the floor and received in the squat position.
A hang power clean is a clean started from the hang and received in the power position (i.e. above parallel, not in the squat position). A power clean is started from the floor and received in the power position.
A hang clean pull is a clean pull started from the hang, and a clean pull is basically a clean from the floor without the receiving portion of the lift.
If you know what the clean is, the clean pull is the first part of the clean, as far as the extension of the hips and shrugging of the shoulders, but without the catch, just letting it fall back to the start position.
the hang just means that you start from just above the knees as opposed to starting from the floor
