Power cleans are new to me and I'm struggling with the form. It's possible I started too heavy (100lbs). Also, left shoulder is acting up since Sunday, or maybe last week after an audible pop during squats. No pain at the time. Really don't want to take any more prolonged breaks...maybe i should drop the PC weight to something really low and work on form for a few sessions.

Power Cleans were much better today. Mainly, took a wider grip, which made a huge difference in racking properly. Also, remembering to keep straight elbows. Will record a few sets next time.
Rewatched this video on the press and remembered to add the "hip bounce" which just felt right. I didn't learn it the SS way originally, and I'm glad I did it right now.

Power Cleans were terrible. I dropped the bar on my forearms twice. Everything just felt wrong. Dropping the weight considerably for next set and working up from there.

Had to eeek out nearly every press and long breaks between sets. This matches my PR from nearly 6 years ago when I stopped lifting for shoulder surgery.
Cleans still feel weird, but at least i didn't drop the bar on myself this time. took a couple videos and will post form checks.
