Barbell Clean and Press — shoulders compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Barbell Clean and Press

Compound · Weight × reps

Avoid rushing the transition or pressing with a backward lean. This combines two technical lifts, so use coaching, bumper plates, practiced bailouts, and a load limited by your weaker clean or press rather than your stronger phase.

HOW TO DO BARBELL CLEAN AND PRESS

  1. Start with a clean grip and braced floor setup, lift the bar close to your body, then extend forcefully and receive it on the shoulders.
  2. Stand and stabilize in the front rack before performing a strict overhead press; lower to the shoulders and return the bar to a clear platform.
  3. Keep the catch on the shoulders with elbows forward, not in the hands.
