    Now lets work on this. First, your starting position. Watch your video, see how your shoulders are inline with the bar on the floor and your knee's are in front of your shoulders? You want your shoulders over the bar. Yes, I know it feels weird and almost wrong but to properly lift the weight and to get the most out of the first pull this is how you must set up. So next time drop the weight in half and lean forward a bit, getting your shoulders over the bar. Secondly, when you drive your legs down through the floor your hips dont go forward till the second pull, all the while your shoulders still remain over the bar. Thirdly, when you slow the video down you see your arms break (meaning they're not fully stretched) during th first pull. This takes your back out of it and utilizes your arms which cannot move nearly as much weight. You want to keep your arms straight throughout and shrug high and hard and jump. When the bar reaches your sternum your arms break to help you get under the bar but NOT to pull it up any further.

    Now let me say this. It takes ALOT of balls to clean a weight. Hell 99% of people don't do it b/c it's sooooo damn hard. It isn't like pulling a DB for bent over rows or some other easy exercise. This is DAMN hard and its an accomplishment to do it at all. You can do it better though by dropping the weight and remembering to stay over the bar (keep your shoulders over the bar), pull with long arms (keep them straight), and finishing your pull (shrug like a mofo).

    I know some ppl would like to see an example so I'm going to record myself to show everyone I practice what I preach.
    Yeah the session after that the weight dropped considerably. Still think the may have heavier than necessary to learning purposes. If you told me "Todd, for the next month you'll be working with nothing but a silly straw" I'd be cool with it since I'd much rather be proficient than crippled.
    Oly lifting has been one of those things that I've always wanted to be good at but honestly only until recently had the balls to try.

    A good way to work on your power clean is to work on your pulls separately. Separate the bar from the floor nice and slow and stand up perfectly straight with it. Then drop the bar slowly to your knees or just below while maintaining a perfectly tight back and long arms. Then explode at the knees using your legs and your traps. That should give the bar enough height for you to power clean it. Fast elbows!
    Got it! The whole elbows up is going to suck since I've broken both wrists. That's why they make finger tips I suppose

    The weight when racked is just on my fingertips. I can't get my whole hand on the bar. It's the same way for me when I front squat.

    I work form with 60kg which is 132lbs and start with 40kg which is nothing more than 88lbs. Once the form is good you can work on adding weight, but be sure to do it slowly. You can make one workout for technique and one where you lift heavier weight to get accustomed to handling heavier weight.

    When I did them this week I worked with 88lb. Super light as far as effort goes but more than enough to let you know of form breaks.
    Next week I'll get vids

    Thats the point. You don't need alot of weight on the bar. You're form needs to be "good" before you start packing on the weight. It doesn't have to be perfect but should be good.
