D-Ball Clean

The difference between just deadlifting a medicine ball up and actually doing a clean is explosive hip extension from the bottom. Don't just pull the ball up passively; explode from the bottom by rising up on your toes and fully extending your hips and knees hard. As you reach full extension at the top, drop quickly under the ball and catch it on your shoulders with your elbows high. The power comes from your whole body extending violently upward, not your arms muscling it. Get under the ball and land stable.
