    Your camera angle is pretty terrible. This is from the sticky:
    POWER CLEAN
    1) From the front quarter is almost always best because we need to see set-up, but the side is good too as long as the camera is far enough back. See rule #1 on the deadlift.

    2) Make sure you show the end of the bar for the entire bar path or we will have you killed.

    It's like $5-$10 to buy a shitty phone tripod on amazon, I bought one and its definitely worth it.

    Hi there,

    Also, there is usually no need to film warm-ups.

    As for the lift, I think you might actually be a little too close to the bar. Also, I think you should try to remain with the shoulders over the bar for a little longer; having said that, you seem to extend quite vertically. The angle makes it hard to say whether you arm-pull or not, so I won't comment on that.
    You also might want to try a slightly wider grip, you seem to use the DL one.

    Your first pull is quite slow and deliberate, which is not a problem in itself; unfortunately this carries through the second pull too. You could almost count to three aloud in the time your elbows take to complete the rotation; you are effectively catching the bar with elbows pointing to the floor, before leisurely completing the lift.
    That part of the lift needs to be waaaaay faster; you can get there with practive, but start thinking about moving much, much faster from now, and do it on every lift.

    Hope this helps,

    IPB

    are those are small plates?

    Looks like you are having to bend down far too just get down to bar.
    Your lower back isn't in extension and you look awkward (understandably).

    Space them up to where the center of the bar is 9" off the ground (normal plate diameter is 18"/450 mm).
    Use plates as spacer or wood blocks or something.

    oh crap, I see the plates stacked up now.
    yeah, you need to set your low back better.

    How are those? I focused on setting the lower back better and increased the bar speed too. In addition i focoused hard on streight elbows into the jump so i wont arm pull the bar.
