Olympic lifting is usually categorized as a ballistic exercise, along with bench press throws and jump squats.

6– 10 This inconsistency may derive from factors such as differences in the training stage of the subjects’ yearly schedule and their strength levels. 4, 5 The reported optimal load for HPC varies among studies, ranging from 65% to 80% of 1-repetition maximum (1RM). 2, 3 Many studies have shown the effectiveness of the use of optimal load to generate the highest power output. 1 Among weight-lifting exercises, the hang power clean (HPC) is a widely used exercise in strength and conditioning settings. Olympic weight-lifting exercises are among the most powerful movements in sport and are often used by athletes for power enhancement along with other primary power exercises like plyometrics and jump squats. However, when the success criterion was defined as the quarter-squat position, the optimal load became the 1RM load. Conclusions: Submaximal loads were indeed optimal for maximal power output for HPC when the success criterion was set above the parallel-squat position. The knee joint angle at the receiving position fell below the quarter-squat position above 70% 1RM. Peak force, force at peak power, and relative values tended to increase with heavier loads ( P .90, P < .01). Results: Both peak power and relative peak power were maximized at 80% 1RM (3975.7 W, 50.4 W/kg, respectively). The success criterion during HPC was set above parallel squat at the receiving position. Methods: Eight competitive Olympic weight lifters performed HPCs at 40%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, and 100% of their 1RM while the ground-reaction force and bar/body kinematics were simultaneously recorded. The present study thus aimed to investigate the underlying factors that determine optimal load during HPCs. If you believe you have an injury, the safest course of action is to consult a professional.Purpose: The optimal load for maximal power output during hang power cleans (HPCs) from a mechanical perspective is the 1-repetition-maximum (1RM) load however, previous research has reported otherwise.
