Power clean 135x3

Only was able to do the 1 set today due to time, but still feel that these need work, just not sure where to go from here.

Stepping through the video frame by frame it looks like your elbows are bending a touch early (you are trying to row the weight). I can't tell by the video but make sure you're engaging your lats (cue = bend the bar around your legs). This will reduce the tendency to row.

Is there a reason the platform is back under the rack? If you can't fix the platform then I'd lift facing the other direction so I could jump out of the rack (instead of into the wall) if I need to ditch.

it looks like your elbows are bending a touch early (you are trying to row the weight).

I agree on this.
Turning the elbows in could help.
Focusing on jumping up could help too.
Or even jumping with locked elbows, for a few times, just to see what it feels like.

Also, a bit more aggression on the stomp and elbow rotation, but that's peripheral to the main issue, which is the early(-ish) arm-bend.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, I suffered from the reverse curls/rowing pretty bad when I started, couldn't really tell until the weight started to get heavier, so at least it's improving.
