Power clean - please check technique

[Mario4717]

What do you think about my execution of power clean exercise?

I know the first mistake: in the first rep my hips are too low, I don't set it well. In the following reps doesn't happen.

Please tell me what you think about.

Thank you.

Hey Mario
This isn't a very good angle to tell you much except that if you don't have bumper plates, try and set up the bar so it's 8.5"/21cm from the ground and you can get set up properly. Use a more oblique angle from the front next time.

What do you think?

Thanks

Hi Mario,

Another perspective of video, with a more oblique angle (50 Kgs):

you have a very noticeable arm pull, which kills most of the speed of your movement.
Also, your feet are hardly leaving ground, which seems to indicate that you are not moving as fast as you should.
Sort out the arm pull first, then add speed; you'll get there.
Hope this helps,

IPB

When learning the Power Clean it will help to do the First Pull (ground to "Jump" point) more slowly. You are trying to explode this off of the floor and your technique and leverages are suffering. The bottom 1/3 of a clean is exactly like a deadlift, follow the progression outlined in Starting Strength for the deadlift. Where things change is when you hit your "Jump" Point which is about half way up your thigh. When the bar makes contact with this point is where the upward explosion occurs. When you explode up JUMP with toes pointed down and loooong straight elbows. With the clean we want to JUMP the bar to our shoulders in the rack position.

It appears you are aware of the JUMP part, but need to slow down the First Pull and work on keeping your elbows long and straight until AFTER you jump.
