Squat and Clean FC

[peter130]

I've been doing the SS program for 2 months, so far:

Squat: 40kg -> 100kg
Bench: 35kg -> 58.5kg
Overhead Press: 25kg -> 36kg
Deadlift: 50kg -> 130kg
Clean: 30kg -> 40kg (started these recently)

80kg Squat


40kg Clean


Main concerns are:
* potentially rounding the bottom of my back at the bottom of the squat (definitely doesn't feel like I am, but in the vid it looks a bit like it)
* arms aren't locked for long enough in the explosive part of the clean

I know the angle of the clean video sucks..

Cheers!

Squat: bar is too high, and some other things, but start with the bar placement cause that will likely change many other aspects of your form.

Power clean: Camera angle sucks, just see a silhouette/eclipse of a man. No setup per the SS pull model if that's what you're going for. However, I think you maybe easier to teach/learn from what I can tell, at least you rack it easier than most beginners

Thanks I'll try again with proper bar position and do a new video.

Assuming you have the book,

PC: Faster elbows. Vertical jump stance. Start with perfect deadlift setup every time (except grip width of course) from the book.
