Hey coaches.
I would really appreciate your input on my powercleans from today. I've just done a reset to work on form.
The video contains my last 2 sets of 3 cleans at 60kg

The main issue I can see is I'm jumping a little early. This is leading to me jumping slightly forward and the bar path on the second pull pushing away from my body.
Any other issues I've missed?
I've had some form issues with powercleans, and the technique forum have helped me out. Here are my originals before the deload.

The most obvious issues were
1. Donkey kicking - I watched the DVD and Simma also said the same, try to "touch my chest onto the ceiling on the second pull"
2. Slow elbows
3. Back too vertical on the setup.
I would really appreciate some advice on how to continue. Apart from the jump position, I think they look pretty good.
Thanks, Luke.
You need to finish your jump. You are still, at least subconsciously, thinking that what gets the feet off the floor is you picking them up. What gets the feet off the floor is the momentum from a finished jump (or 2nd pull, if you wish).
