    A quick question for the experts: Is it still a powerclean if I don't jump off the ground? I've found as the weight gets heavier, my stomp starts to degrade and rather than leave the ground with the bar in my hand, I'm just on my tiptoes. It looks a lot like the fella in the Dec 11th Report.

    You are still doing a power clean. At heavy weights, you will not really leave the ground. The attempt to do so propels the bar upward, however.
