She is also concentrating on keeping her elbows high with the dowel kept close to the body. The dowel should move in a straight upward path. Notice her eyes are focused up which is good but she should try to keep her feet straight; not pointed out.&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG>THE FOURTH STEP:</STRONG> With the dowels, land in an <U>Athletic Stance</U> as shown in photos #4 and #5. The knees must bend as you land. Many students will want to land with their knees locked which is very wrong. Have a student jump off a chair and have everyone look at his knees. They will naturally bend to break the fall. The Power Clean is no different: You jump straight up as high as you can, then when you land you bend your knees to break the fall.&nbsp;</P> <P>The Athletic Stance is wider than a jump stance and the toes are pointed out slightly for balance. Therefore, the feet will pop out slightly when you land. The Athletic Stance is a "ready position" used in many sports. Think of a shortstop, a line-backer, a defensive basketball player or a tennis player. I want an athlete to practice landing and balancing himself with a weight from this athletic stance. Both Matt and Danelle have landed in a perfect Athletic Stance.&nbsp;</P> <P>Photo #6 shows a happy Coach Kirkman with Matt in a perfect jump position and Danelle racking the dowel perfectly from an Athletic Stance.&nbsp;</P> <P><STRONG>THE FIFTH STEP:</STRONG> Using the bar from the floor, teach the starting position. Look at Danelle in Photo #7. She is in a Jump Stance with hips down, elbows locked and wrists slightly rolled forward. Danelle is using the Aluma-Lite Bar with the BFS 10-pound Bumper Plates. Photo #8 shows Matt trying to Power Clean from an Athletic Stance. This is wrong. Just look at his knees. This is weak and dangerous. Also, this could be a photo of Matt setting the weight down after a Power Clean which would also be bad. You must pick up a weight <U>or</U> set down a weight from a Jump Stance!&nbsp;</P> <P>Practice picking up the weight from the floor in a controlled motion as pictured in Photo #9. Matt has his chest spread so that his lower back really looks good. His elbows are locked and ball and basketball teams, Mears is anked in the top 15th percentile of his class academically.  Andre epitomizes what an Eleven should be, says Lloyd.  He s a leader in the weight room, and he is always willing to help teach and motivate new athletes in the program. He s also a hard worker, and this year improved his 40 time by 2/10ths, and added 65 pounds to his Hex bar max and 95 pounds to his parallel squat. <br>Another standout is Justin Ritter, a junior who increased his bench press 60 pounds this past year to break an APAWPA world record for his age group (255 pounds at 165 pounds bodyweight). Another junior, Thomas Wright, increased his power clean by 60 pounds and his squat by 75 pounds last year.  After a discussion with clinician Bobby Poss, I began holding a fitness competition in May that tests athlees on the bench press, parallel squat, NFL shuttle, 40-yard sprint, and the Smyrna shuttle [a 300-yard shuttle, broken down into 30-yard sprints]. The athletes received points for the weights lifted and fastest running
