Contra-indications

It is best to perform the exercise under guidance, especially for beginners. Also, if one has back, shoulders, or lower body joint niggles, avoid doing the power clean. During movement, if there is any pain or discomfort, it is best to discontinue and do basic stretches.

While Kohli can be seen easily lifting 60-70 kgs, it is advised to first start small and with proper posture to avoid injury.
