In a recent discussion on the Sportscience Forum contributors agreed that power cleans and power pulls are effective ways to develop power. They also agreed that the stages involved in each lift need to be taught progressively, through a full range of motion; and with due regard to the training experience of the athlete. Some trainers preferred the power pull or the other components of the power clean (hang clean and dead lift) on the grounds of sport specificity or ease of teaching.
