Power Clean Form

[api]

Hello,

Looking for some advice in my Power Cleans. As the video says this is my second time doing cleans with any weight on



Pardon the mincing hands at the end haha, I felt very light-headed! With time I believe will be able to order the movement better in my mind before lifting. I will focus more on just pulling and shrugging next work out and then start to correct my elbows.

Advice is greatly appreciated, thanks

NB: Would a different angle be more beneficial?

Commit more to the jump - aim to get off the ground as that's what should bring the bar up to your shoulders. Slam your elbows forward harder. I'd like to see these from a 45 degree angle - I think your stance may be off.

Gaining weight will help you with these (and the rest of your lifts).

Thank you for looking and offering some advice.

Your mentioning of my stance definitely stuck with me, the stance felt awkward today. I used a slightly wider than deadlift width (about 6 inches between my feet when deadlifting, so very narrow) and it did not feel right when it came to jumping and balance, I'll widen it next time. Regarding my elbows, slamming the elbows forward is a useful way to describe it. From my first to last set I definitely brought them up more but I will use that to remind myself during my next workout

As for weight I'm 70kg (154 pounds) at 6 foot in height, so pretty slim but the weight will come with consistent eating I'm sure and thankfully it hasn't impacting my lifting yet. I reached a 137.5kg (303 pounds) deadlift at a similar weight last year quickly enough, so I'm hoping it won't limit how long I can run my LPs for? Time will tell! As long as I keep eating right and lifting I'm trusting the process.

Thanks again for the advice Jeff, I'll keep this updated as I progress.

Can you post a deadlift video as well? Your starting position isn't great, and it's probably similar in your deadlifts.

api, are those standard 18"/450mm plates?

how tall are you? or are you a giant?

[Fulcrum]

edit, saw you a 1.82 meters tall.

I think those a small plates, yes?

They are slightly smaller plates

They are slightly smaller plates

yeah, my point is the bar is very close to the ground,

this makes the set up very difficult, especially with the SS model.

I'd stack something under the plates.

It is definitely more awkward. I will consider it for my future workouts, although deficit or not if I add weight correctly (and sleep and eat of course!( it will still go up as per LPs no?
