This module teaches the Clean through a clear, three-phase progression that puts technique before load. Each phase runs four weeks with two sessions per week, and every session follows a consistent structure—foam roll → mobility → band activation → Olympic development → strength block—to build safe, repeatable motor patterns. Learners begin with bar-only developmental drills (RDL → clean pull, front squat, high pull, scarecrow clean) from the hip/power position to groove bar path, timing, and the sequence triple extension → shrug → fast elbows to rack. The emphasis is on low sets, low reps, and full recoveries to engrain quality movement before adding load. Progressions then move the start point down the thigh (hang clean from mid-thigh/above knee) to develop bar proximity and receiving mechanics, before advancing from the floor: partial clean to knee (first-pull mechanics), clean pulls (first pull → transition → extension), and finally the squat clean (catch and stand). Coaching cues throughout reinforce a close bar path, standardized setup, and a confident front-rack receive. Outcome: By the end of Module 2, you’ll be able to teach and perform the Clean from phased starts (hip → mid-thigh → floor), apply consistent setup and timing, and use targeted assistance work to build the front rack, receiving position, and total-body power—without compromising technique.

This module teaches the snatch through a phased, technique-first progression that builds confidence from simple positions to the full lift. Training runs two sessions per week for four weeks per phase, with about 72 hours between sessions for recovery. Each session follows a consistent flow — foam roll → mobility → band activation → developmental drills → Olympic work — so lifters engrain sound mechanics before adding load. Phase 1 establishes fundamentals from the hip (“crease”) position using the bar only in a circuit style: RDL → snatch pull, muscle snatch, overhead squat, and snatch balance. These drills teach a tight bar path, violent triple extension, stable overhead positioning, and confident receiving mechanics, before introducing light-loaded Olympic work (e.g., hang snatch) and foundational strength (e.g., back squat, behind-neck snatch press). Phase 2 lowers the start point to mid-thigh/above knee, reinforcing bar proximity, timing, and overhead stability with progressions like hang snatch (mid-thigh), power jerk, and snatch balance — all performed with the same session order and continued emphasis on technique over load. Phase 3 integrates the full movement from the floor: first-pull skill via the partial snatch to knee, power development with the snatch pull from the ground, and finally the complete squat snatch — combining all prior elements into a fast, stable catch and stand. Field and court athletes may still prioritize power-position starts depending on sport demands, but this phase equips lifters to execute the full lift when appropriate. Outcome: By the end of this module, learners can teach and perform the snatch from hip → mid-thigh → floor, using standardized setups, close bar paths, explosive triple extension, and confident overhead receives — without compromising technique quality.
