John, great video! The progression you went through will be really helpful for both our coaches and clients on squat clean and all the exercises that comprise it.

So many people (including myself) struggle with this lift. Jon, great job breaking down and providing insight into a truly athletic lift. Your eye for detail, and ability to explain technique is truly excellent. Nice job!

Brilliant! Simply spot on - loved the basic and pertinent coaching and movement points!

Looking foward to watching the rest!!

I just did a weightlifting course and enjoyed it a lot. This video however is clearing up a lot of questions. By watching the video i understand and see a lot more off the technique. And its great to see how you do the instructions. As a personal trainer its always good to see how someone else does it. Thank you
