Reception of the barbell on the shoulders

After the triple extension the athlete must now aggressively shift their feet and receive the bar on the shoulders in the same receiving position as a front squat

Faults – diving under the bar, not sifting the feet, jumping forward, bottoming out, not getting the elbows up, catching the bar too rigid

Comments – importance of hook grip, shift the feet aggressively, meet the bar (Pulling yourself under the bar, many times helpful to think catching the bar in the power position for those whom the bar crashes)

Corrective – top to bottom cleans to build confidence, cue athlete to rotate elbows as quickly and aggressively as possible, tall cleans
