Power Clean Request - Round 2

[EmersonLynn]

Hello coaches - I am back with another Power Clean video;

Untitled on Vimeo

Wasn't pretty - I have this thing where I back out half-way through, like the bar won't rack (or I'm being a pussy)

Then other times I jump backwards

any help would be

Bar is in front of your midfoot resulting in too low of a position at the start. You bend your arms a little early. The weight is light. You can practically power curl it. You are doing too many reps.

Do the setup steps from the sticky to the letter. Keep your arms straight until the jump has completed, then let the bar float up to the shoulders. Catch it on the delts, not the hands, with your elbows high. Stick to triples.

I may be training at Lift on Monday, May 16th. That is the tentative plan, anyway.

Ok thanks Tom I'll work on these tips.

I train MWF so should be there on that monday - I guess you know what I look like now after all these videos.

Also did I hear correctly that you are a photographer?

From whom did you hear this vicious rumor?

[EmersonLynn]

well I didn't hear it but was looking at the SS instagram and read it somewhere there

then I had a look at your instagram page and really liked some of your shots.

there was a great one of someone low-bar squatting when you were promoting your Australian tour.

from what you've told me about my low-bar squat that photo really helped me visualise what a good low-bar squat looks like.

just interested, that's all

I am just being an idiot and giving you a hard time. Indeed, I am also a photographer with a specialization in the barbell sports. Thanks for the kind words.
