HALTING CLEAN DEADLIFT TO POWER POSITION Learn the Halting Clean Deadlift To Power Position from coach Bob Takano, USA weightlifting Hall-of-Famer and National team coach, This movement is initially performed exactly as the halting clean deadlift to knees but instead of halting at the knees, the bar continues upward until the athlete is in power position. At that point, the athlete should halt for two seconds to reinforce the feeling of the position. The center of pressure on the foot moves from the ball of the foot to the heels as the bar is lifted to the knees and then returns to the ball of the foot as the athlete achieves power position
