Hang Power Clean and Iso Holds

Regarding the matter of intensity, often an athlete can lift more weight from the hang than they can from the floor. One reason is that the bar is already positioned at a favorable leverage position, whereas pulling from the floor to hit that same position requires considerable skill. Another reason is that many athletes who use the hang style place the bar in the crease between the upper leg and hips. This enables the athlete to add a kick from the legs to help increase the force applied to the bar. Performing the lift from the hang position has several advantages. First, it is easier to learn because there are fewer phases within the lift. In fact, the lift is usually taught from the hang first because of this fact. Second, it requires the athlete to strengthen his/her grip and back muscles in order to become accustomed to supporting the weight. Third, it actually results in a higher power output than other variations of the lift
