The Continental Clean (and Press)

I pulled this from Rob Orlando's site, www.strongmanwod.com. If you stumble across my page here make sure you check out that site. It is growing and there is going to be a ton of information there regarding strongman movements. Below is Rob's description and a few videos.

Continental Clean
For the continental clean you will deadlift the bar with a mixed grip. Then hang clean it to the top of your belly. At this point you will need to lean back and stick out your gut as far as possible. While you’re leaning back you need to “pop” the bar up and switch your grip to a double over. From there you will “pop” the bar off your belly up to the rack position. There are several stages to this lift so you need to be patient. Practice light and slowly build up in weight.





Here is a video of Brad Ardrey with a 340 pound Continental Clean and Press.
