Light Clean Barbell Cycling

Become a master with the barbell.

Technical Breakdown
of how to Barbell Cycling Light Cleans.

Main takeaways:

• Jump as high as you can at the start.

• Use your legs to help generate momentum on the way up the rope. You should be swinging the leg on the same side as the arm that you are moving.

• When pulling with your arms try to take the biggest pulls that you can.

• You should be able to perform a swing and a pop to help you get up the rope.

• Slide down the rope on the way down. I recommend the Spanish wrap (however, it requires long tights or trousers).
