this is what personal training should look like, not putting someone on a machine and telling them to do reps

I literally did my first set of power cleans (after doing it with an empty barbell for a few weeks) and there was a personal trainer at the gym coaching 2 guys and had them doing tricep kickbacks. smh

nothing wrong with machine work for accessory movements, but i agree that a valuable trainer should be coaching free weight compounds as much as possible, given the client can actually perform them. (no injuries or severe mobility issues)

Alan is a fantastic trainer and I feel blessed to have taken some coaching sessions with him at the amazing Untamed Strength gym.

Thought I heard "Dad" at first and was convinced this was Alan's dad for a few seconds lol

I’m just glad he has a mic. Everytime I watch these videos I can’t even hear the person

I recorded this video in June 2017. My intention was to keep the video to myself so that I can see what I need to work on as a coach. After watching the video I realized Dag was jumping forward a bit on a couple of the reps. Admittedly, I didn't notice it during the session. This is why recording myself can be helpful. I talked to him about it and he has since corrected it. I am making this video public because it might be helpful for some of you. Stay tuned next week for some footage of me coaching the squat with a few clients.

Alan is such an excellent teacher.

Holy shit you are a very good teacher. Love how Dag is really trying and is correcting himself during the clean

That's some serious coaching. Very good. I just noticed how the trainee lightend up when you praised him. Very cool.

Realistic client selection. Glad it's not a 19 year old.

"Get off your heels Dag" lol. You're a good teacher bro.

Really helpful. As a beginner, this video breaks things down so clearly. Learning from the top down seems to be so much easier. I must try that next time. Thank you, Alan.

Alan is thicc

This is the best instructional video I have ever seen for power cleaning. I can't wait to fix my power cleans

Great tutorial Alan! That was the best so far i watched in youtube. It really gives a clear idea of the whole progression of the movement.

Best tutorial i have seen so far, i think i finally get it. Thanks!

Excellent teaching: realtime feedback, maximum/constant feedback, super simple effective cues, learn by doing. Wow. Bravo!

Allan you're the best. I just started school again and in weight training we do power cleans twice a week and I've never done them before. Perfect timing 👌

I thought you were calling him dad the whole time! lmao

Really nice, thanks for posting this!! I feel confident enough to give it a go next workout, with a nice low weight to focus on form!! Shoulders!! Mid foot!! Hips up!! Jump high!!! 😊

Thought about starting to put explosive movements in my routine when I see a power clean tutorial from Alan Thrall. Thanks Alan, you're reading my mind.

I wish I have a coach like u cuz everybody I've asked so far hasn't clarified 100% of my questions. Great video man

Alan "The Man" Thrall back again with another educational video with purpose

Love seeing family training together! Super cool!!

Love seeing a Marine doing what they do best bringing people along and showing them what they are capable of.

Hey Alan, this type of video is very helpful! We get to see another novice performing the movement, and get to pause and rewatch to spot if we can make out any mistakes that were made. This is different than watching a 'tutorial' video performed by someone who already knows what they're doing. Thanks a bunch!

Absolutely love all of your vids alan, incredibly informative. Thanks

A very helpful video "again", Alan. Cheers for this!

This is great. I learned a TON about this movement. Thanks Alan for posting it!

Thank you Alan. This is super helpful. Appreciate all the cues and breakdown. I want to bring power cleans back into my program and happy to to review form

The best power clean tutorial on youtube, hands down 👏

This is brilliant! Thank you Alan.

Thank you for this Alan. Been struggling with the jumping position, but this video made it clearer for me.

Alan, thanks for posting this. Your videos are great.

Well done! This is terrific instruction Alan. Thank you

The best informative beginners videos I’ve found 👍🏼

very good coach with clear instructions, impressive

Great video Alan! The guy seems really excited lol, you did a really good job teaching and correcting and making it easy for him to understand what you mean as well

I've been waiting for this one

Man. I feel this guy’s struggle. I’m approaching my two year mark in my journey. Is simple and maddeningly diffuse at the same time. And it changes every attempt. This guy has more thoughts than I do before swinging a club! 😂

now is the content im lookin for. well done sir

About hip position, it seems like the distinction about clean first pull and deadlift is just an American think, from what I was taught in Vietnam and from what we can see in russians school lifter like Klokov or Torokhtyi's clean tutorial video: they don't mention the hip position at all, they just care about keep a tight flat back, weight over whole foot and shoulder cover the bar, the should position get special attention, usually. The hip position will depend on lifters, it just so happens that a lot of elite lifters have long torsos and short legs, so it appear that their hip position is low, and their torso angles more vertical.

@MrBeardest

The only time I really see them mention the hip position is when the trainee is already in the proper position over the bar, but they then for some reason instinctively lower or raise their hips (probably to get into a slightly more comfortable position). If the lifter has their shins touching the bar, flat back, and the bar is currently over mid-foot, any hip movement will either move the bar towards toes (if the hips drop -> shins go forward -> bar moves towards toes) or towards the heels (if the hips raise -> shins go back -> lifter pulls bar to touch shins and therefore pulls it towards the heels). Just my observations and understanding from reading and performing the power clean. I agree that hip position is technically irrelevant, as it will be different with every lifter. Shoulder position, bar over mid-foot and flat back are the most important aspects. Just easier to point at a trainee's hips rather than telling them to position over mid foot again. Telling them to move their hips higher or lower will naturally cause the rest of their body to position the bar properly again over mid-foot. Easier cue.

So in another video, the person doing the power clean/deadlift had their hips low. Once they started the lift, the hips went up - they could have just started in the “hip-up” position. It is a good cue to follow if you have this problem. More efficient.

Hey, don't know if you will see this, but where did you learn weightlifting in Vietnam? I'm looking for a coach!

As a soon to be PT this video is Gold! Thanks Alan

Nice job Alan! Thanks for sharing.

You are a great teacher Alan, thx for the lesson :)

Wow youre a really good trainer

I trained hundreds of clients for many years and observed many other trainers in the gym I worked at and other gyms. I myself would have trained with maybe 5 % or less of these many trainers. This example is of a competent trainer having proper instruction, pace in moving a technique along, and positive reinforcement. The client done a great job of listening and adjusting to instructions also. 👍👍

Wow I wish I could get a coach like this (small northern city...). Watching his progression throughout this vid was awesome. Elbows nice and high by the end even though he was reluctant to do so at the beginning. Not judging at all just noticing good cues and improvement! Thanks

Excellent tutorial. Thank you for this.

Great tutorial and an awesome student

Great lesson and teaching style. Learnt lots of points to improve mine

This is awesome!! Great coaching bro

Looks easy with Alan in the place. Great coaching.

Excellent lesson on the power clean for us beginners Alan!

DAmn, that dad is talented. He has really good form for just one training session.

AWESOME !!!! I need this in my life

Please make more videos like this, it is very informative and helps understand my own mistakes :)

Wish you could be my teacher bro. For just a couple of sessions, I'd sure as hell learn a lot and increase my lifts with some of your pro tips. Stay beasty! Peace from the Netherlands!

You're a great coach.

that brand new Rippetoe smell

Thank you Alan you got me straightened out!

solid video this is a good vibe

Great video. This is the last exercise of my routine and I have a hard time pulling it off

Such convenient timing, you read my mind Alan.

I always thought it just raw power but these weightlifting exercises are pretty technical. Just started olympic weightlifting and damn I suck at it. These video's help a lot ! Thanks for the upload.

This is fantastic

excellent video and coaching AT

Great work Dag!

Best video for teaching the clean.

Amazing videos. Keep it up.

Also, shout out Dag for allowing you to do this.

Excellent thanks Alan👍

Thanks for sharing video Alan, like seeing a variety of ways teaching the power clean. Always nice to review your own basics, etc, and for my wife who is new to weightlifting in general, maybe this will help stop the clean from being a dramatic curl?!? :P

Thought Alan was gonna slap him when he said “crossfit”.

Damn! I lived in Sacrament for 2 years, and used to go to fitness first and see all those "Bros" doing everything wrong and copying each other. I wish, I knew of Alan's gym. I would have learned so much from him. To this day, I am not sure if my deadlift is good, but I am going to improve watching his video over and over again.

Masterful coached

awsome video looks like you are having fun coaching Dag :D

My god, Alan's such a drill sergeant.

this is gold

Exactly the kind of video I've needed!! Also, Alan do you suffer with slight APT/lordosis? I suffer from it and you seem to have a similar posture to me (i.e. slightly downwards tilted hips). Although this could your god-like glutes and the clothing you're wearing?

This is an excellent excellent video

Wish I had a trainer like you. I'll have to figure out my technique solo. Will take some time before I got it down I think.

Really good instruction. Dag did well!

Excellent!

Thanks for sharing this video... At what point do you push off your heels or stay on your heels, if you do, during the dead lift and the power clean?

Amazing !!! How much time would you say you edited out of the video? IE how long did it take to teach

Holy shit I just noticed that Alan has a mic braided in his beard. What a savage : D

This is gold

Yaaaaaasss finally new SS PC tutorial

nice coaching!

Hi Alan, I wish I had a coach like you where I live..

Thank you. Suggestion, in addition to talking the movements, demonstrate them. In education this is called, "I do, we do, you do." In more technical terms you would be building an image of the movement in Dag's brain that he could recall.

Thanks to Always helpful video to learn how to workout. Many Koreans watch your video with translation. I wish I might have your autograph when I visit Sacramento :)

Any advice here.. I struggle to get into the correct rack position with my elbows up. Even without pressing just holding the bar at the top with my elbows up is difficult

Alan, how do you teach the jumping position? Im not sure im asking correctly but im not 100% sure im at the correct position when I initiate my jump and catch. Essentially how do I know when the bar is resting in the correct thigh position. My clean has improved significantly just from squatting but I wonder if im getting everything I can from my training. Im self taught and Im sure I am making many mistakes. Thanks so much in advance and thanks so much for your service to our country. Wes

Outstanding video. Wish I lived in the area. If there is a coach in the Hampton roads va area training in this straight forward easy to understand way someone shout them out.

good job dag!
