What is the difference between hang, power, and squat cleans?

Hang Cleans: are  started from above the knee. When starting you need to make sure your starting position is knees bent, strong lumbar curve, arms are straight and you have the hook grip. 

Power Cleans: Are started from the floor. There are two different styles of pull. The first is the european which the bar starts over the base of the toe. You have a more erect position. The bar path is swept in and creating reverse S motion. Where as the american pull starts over the based of the foot. The bar path is pulled in a straight line.

Squat Cleans or Full Cleans: Are started from the floor and is pulled then you drop under the bar recieving at the height when it begins to drop. Once the bar is racked at the height it stops you then perform a front squat and then stand tall with the weight.

Each of these lifts are very ballistic. Alot of high schools, colleges and professional athletes use the lifts to help recruit Type 2 muscle fibers. ( Fast twitch) Whether you now it or not every one will use these movements in every day living. How would someone move a heavy object “safely” from the floor to a shelf?
