The cleaner press is a full body lift that will yield much more muscle and strength and has a great carryover effect on daily life, activities, and exercise with much history. Back in the day, it was known as the Olympic Press. However, after 1972 we were broken down into two exercises, the snatch, and the clean and jerk. Now because this exercise is in 2 stages, let's break it down.
By starting with the Glee so you start by getting into a position like you would do on a deadlift keep your knees slightly above your hips.
Drive through the leg's power, cleaning the barbell up to where it is above knee level. The next step is also known as the triple Extension Push, Flex, and Drive.
Push your hips forward, flexing the glutes. Drive the barbell up above the shoulders and go under the bar, catching it with your posterior delts.
When the board was passed the forehead, actively push your head to the front, press up overhead, and lock out the triceps to complete the exercise. Reverse the movement, slow and controlled to press overhead again or just lowering it to the floor. Beginners should not rush this stage and take the time to prepare themselves before going into the pressing part of this exercise. Things you want to avoid during the exercise are using relaxed. This will create momentum and it's better known as the push press which is an exercise.
Or a whole different article swinging your back or leaning too far into the movement so that the exercise is looking like a standing incline press. Not really what this exercise is all about and potentially harmful for the lower back, the cleaner press. A truly forgotten exercise, but great for building raw strength and muscle mass.
