I can tell you why coaches have them do hang cleans. Because Boyd Epley preferred them. I saw him at my first Glazier clinic over a decade ago, and he made a compelling case for it. I can’t remember what it was other than something about the muscles of the lower back already being in tension at the “bottom” in a hang clean, which makes heavier weights possible. All I knew was the Pope had spoken, so I never coached the power clean until I came across SS.
