power clean form check
0hi everybody,
here's my last set of 62.5 kg from today's workout, after i failed doing this weight at my last workout, sorry the video is a bit to forward my gym finally got another rack and they moved the platform next to this giant window so they can put the rack instead of it.
not sure if i bend my arms or if i just bend them immediatly after i jump, but because of my back pain/injury (will sum it short i have pain when i load my spine and when i move it from flexion to extension, luckily for the most part doing the 5 base excercises isn't painful, but i will fill pain on certain actions like getting up from a bench, or jumping in the power clean warmup, this is also why i struggle to jump hard).
other then that id like to hear your opinions on my technique and on what can i do better.
thanks!

Reminds me of my former gym. Shit platforms, with just concrete underneath. Aftermath from dropping jerks and pulling heavy:Originally Posted by Mark Rippetoe

It's unfortunate all these commercial gyms buy platforms and bumper plates but are oblivious to their intended purpose.

Thanks mark!
The funny thing is, my whole gym has rubber flooring to be able to drop weights.
After the neighbours downstairs complained for the noise of people dropping weights they got this shitty already bent platform with an attachment for bands which isn’t usable due it been too far apart, and since then they also did a double layer of foam and another rubber flooring instead of just bringing some decent equipment.
But what can you expect from a commercial gym at least I’m lucky to have a Texas bar there (which of course no one has a clue how good it is and they treat it like shit)

I think you over-emphasize the slowness of the 1st pull.
I don't see your legs/knees fully extend in any of those three cleans.
The triple extensions is cut off short; you just kind of hop with bent knees.
You are too worried about "jumping" and banging off your thighs, launching the bar forward, then you hop forward to catch it.
Just do a fast deadlift and rack the bar.
