NO. Three different types. Hang Cleans are the same as full cleans except they start at the hang position. You drop down to a full front squat just like a full clean which starts off the floor. The Power Clean starts off the floor but there is no full squat, i.e. thights stay above parallel.
That's the difference but whichever way you choose to do it I agree it's pretty cool
. I have the same problem on the bending the wrists back. It's definitely easier just to try to do the Power version from the hang position. Also, starting with high pulls makes perfect sense. There is supposed to be a long a drawn out step by step method of building up to learning these exercises, but you and I both no that neither one of us is going to do that
