Alternating Hang Clean
A dynamic exercise that targets multiple muscle groups, improving power and coordination.
Instructions
- Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with an overhand grip.
- Slightly bend at the knees, keeping your back straight and core engaged.
- Explosively extend your hips and pull the dumbbells up to shoulder height, alternating hands with each rep.
- Quickly rotate your elbow under the dumbbell to catch it on your shoulder while dipping your knees slightly.
- Return to the starting position and repeat with the opposite hand.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using too much weight, which can compromise form.
- Failing to engage the core, leading to poor movement efficiency.
- Not fully extending the hips, reducing power output.
