    Morning coaches and users,
    Here we go again,another form check post,but now is Power Cleans instead of Squats
    I'm 16 yo,1.75 cm short and 83 kg.
    My squat is 140 kg 3x5,BP 100 kg 3x5,Press 60 kg 3x5,and everything keeps going up,with the exception of PCs,and that bothers the hell out of me,because I know I should be able to pull my BW at least,but I struggle with 60 stupid kg.Please help.
    P.S.
    Squatting 3 plates because of you,Jeff.

    Hi there,

    from what I can see, you seem to start your shrug too early, way before you have completed your extension.
    You also have the tendency to extend back, rather than up.
    Be patient and finish your extension properly.
    Oh, and those elbows need to move faster.

    Hope this helps,

    IPB

    Thanks a lot IPB,do you think I should lower the weight?Cause I've already done that like two times.And what cues would you use to fix those issues?
    Again,thanks

    I know they are not popular around here, but IMHO you might benefit from doing a few (a few, not two months in a row's worth) clean pulls.
