    Default Problem with Powercleans

    Today I was doing powercleans at 5x3x135, but after I racked the weight on my shoulders a couple times, my vision shook, I heard what I can only describe as a whirring sound accompanied with dizziness and ringing ears. I don't have a video to form check, but I was curious if you had any ideas of what is causing this?

    Its kind of freaking me out.

    There's already a thread on this somewhere--try the search function. As I remember it, the conclusion was that sometimes lifting heavy objects will get you close to passing out, and a lot of people had experienced this for different lifts.

    You might be jamming the bar into your neck instead of racking it.

    Which would probably be why this was put in the Repetitive inquiries forum . I had done some preliminary searching before I posted, but the keyword I was looking for was 'dizziness' which I had not searched. I found my answer; sorry about this post.
