Combining the Hang Power Clean with a Lunge creates a "super-exercise" for runners. While the standard clean builds raw power, adding the lunge introduces unilateral stability—which is exactly what running is: a series of thousands of single-leg jumps.
Why it works: It mimics the "offset" nature of a running stride but at high velocity.
The Runner Benefit: It trains dynamic balance. It teaches your body how to absorb force on one leg while maintaining a rigid core, which is the secret to staying injury-free during technical trail descents or sprinting for the finish line.
