The Lift Every Athlete Needs In Their Program

Hello Friends,

If you want to train like an athlete — not just look like one — you need to be using the Clean.

The Clean isn’t just about lifting heavy.

It’s about teaching your body how to apply force fast, efficiently, and in rhythm — just like sprinting or jumping.

Every great athlete I’ve worked with benefits from this lift because it builds all the qualities that matter for performance:

✅ Explosive power — driving force into the ground, transferring it through the hips, and finishing with full extension.

✅ Coordination — connecting the lower and upper body to move as one system.

✅ Timing — learning when to apply maximal effort and when to relax.

✅ Speed-Strength — producing force rapidly, not just grinding under load.

It’s the ultimate expression of athletic movement.

Here’s how I teach and program it 👇

• Start simple: Clean from the hip → hang → below the knee → full clean.
• Work heavy, but fast: 4–6 sets of 1–3 reps.
• Focus on rhythm & timing: Each rep should feel crisp, not forced.

It’s not about chasing a max — it’s about developing power that carries over to the field.

If you’re ready to train like an athlete again — with programming that blends sprints, jumps, and total-body lifts like this — I’ll build it for you.

God Bless You All
