    After messing around with power cleans for a while now I am not able to rack them properly. Until I get a coach I don't think it is wise for me to continue them but I'm wondering if clean high pulls to the sternum would offer the same power benefits as an alternative?

    Assuming your assessment about the clean is correct, the next thing to do would be power snatch.

    Without a coach, the power snatch is gonna pretty difficult as well

    Many people have been able to learn to do a passable or better power snatch without a coach. If his problem is inability to rack, as he says, then he should be able to learn the power snatch from the book and the platform video.
