Lowering the weight after a power clean
Hey Rip,
I workout in my house so I don't want to drop my bumpers and therefore lower and catch the weight around the thigh after each rep and lower it to the floor from there. Is there a weight at which this becomes dangerous? And is there any physical benefit to catching the weight in this manner (just curious)?
Thanks...

This is the way it was done for decades, before God made bumper plates, and is one reason the old guys were stronger. The negative work is the other half of the stimulus that we have given up for the convenience of dropping the bar. Lower away.
