Gregg Everett wrote an excellent article about “Improving the Clean through a Better Turnover”.
He likes his athletes to make the clean resemble the the front squat as much as possible.
…the lifter should attempt to secure the bar in the rack position in as high of a squat position as possible. This is the final element of making the clean resemble the front squat: the higher the bar is racked, the sooner the lifter can establish tension in the squat, and the more of an eccentric movement can occur before the recovery.
And he mentions some specific drills to improve the turnover, which “can be done as standalone technical work in other training sessions not involving cleans, or they can be used at the beginning of clean training sessions to help improve the subsequent clean work.”
