Hang Cleans

[Shovel]

Anybody do em? I just started them and wondering what (muscle/s) they really work.?

[RJH8541]

the work just about everything. You just take away the pull from the floor, which is IMO the most technical aspect of the movement.

They work the fuck outta you thats for sure. They are great in certain MetCons.

You should know what muscles they work based on what muscles are the sorest.

They directly work the traps, rhomboids and front delts bigtime. If you busted ass on them, you will feel it the next day in the traps & upper/inner back muscles.

Last night was the first time I did em, I added it to my deads. I mean I went from the deadlift position to hang clean and all the way to the floor again with the bar(variation of them). I had 205 on for 3 sets and I was sucking wind! I'm not too sore yet, but I'm getting stiff now. Haha

They are pretty rough on the joints. I did them years ago. Great overall exercise.

This right here!!!

I used to love them years ago and I would be in a sweat after the first set. Great excercise. Preferred when I was younger no doubt

Would love to see that done with a staggered grip!

I would just do the hanging-cleans solo bro. I mean obviously one can deadlift a shitload more than they can clean, so whats the point of even doing the dead part of it?

Right, but I was taking it all the way to the ground. Just cause... Lol

I think you're right. It was more cardio than anything... Gonna do em regular this week.

so evidently this would def be considered a compound movement then right? what about the clean and jerk,isn't that from deadlift to almost an upright row to a straight military press?i think that would annihilate the shoulders,traps and upper back more than anything...

Yeah the clean jerk is good, but it messes up my routine since I don't do shoulders on back day. Wonder if that matters..?

Genetic Freak who mods with me at WCBB does them!

if i had the room in either of my gyms i might try them.just started my 5/3/1 routine and that seems like something that would take care of 50% of my upper body work.hmmmm....

I have been wanting to try these for years. I had heard it is hard on the joints as pointed out above and it is an explosion speed training. Not much of a muscle builder. Used a lot in explosion sports like football. I decided against it since I don't have a need for that too much. Would be nice but just not worth any joint or injuries for me.
