All I am going to say is you can go ask ANY Division 1 strength training coach and they will tell you the explosive movement of the hips are what drive the lift. That is why it is a great lift.

The Power Clean Movement. The Power Clean consists of 2 pulls. You’ll spend most time working on the technique of the 2nd pull which is trickiest to learn.

* 1st Pull. Pull the barbell from the floor to your knees. The 1st pull is similar to a Deadlift and is a slow movement.
* 2nd Pull. Pull the barbell from your mid-thighs to your shoulders by extending your hips. The 2nd pull is an explosive movement.

Here is a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SioqtZK4kt4

Notice the hip extension is what allows the movement of the heavy weight.
