Coaching: Medicine Ball Clean

This is the progression I use for all my athletes learning the clean. I use this movement as a skill transfer exercise but sometimes I will also program into a workout for skill acquisition. Progression is as follows:

Deadlift
Front Squat
"Shrug and Drop" (from the hang position)
Put it together


The biggest mistake I see when teaching this movement is full/complete hip extension. Use the cue I show in the video. It works every time.
