Try really hard to learn how to clean. They're pretty fun. If you can't do them without hurting your wrists or elbows and/or the weights are a quarter of your deadlift and won't go above that, maybe do something else.

Post up a form check video. The feedback should give you a clear idea as to whether or not PCs are worth developing.
Thanks. It is higher than quarter of my DL. Thanks again for the motivation will try to work on it.
So is your bicep curl. If you said it was over half your DL, we'd have something to talk about. At 40, you really have to contemplate whether there's enough reward to compensate you for the time spent learning the power clean. I tend to gravitate towards the side of "no," unless you just really like doing them. How many chin-ups can you do in an unbroken set?
adam, can you tell me what information his chinup numbers give you about wether or not cleans are worthwhile to him?
i'm not challenging you or anything, I'd just really like to know. Are chins limited by power at all? do they indicate anything about a trainees genetically-determined potential for explosive force production?
I’d say it’s more to gauge if chins would be a useful lighter pulling movement to alternate with deadlifts than in any relation to power production.
