You can get away with cleaning/snatching barefoot (although not recommended) but the fact that you are moving your feet forward/backward (at least in a split jerk) means they are pretty necessary. The clean will feel even better when you use oly shoes. Fucking a: response from calstr: :D | ||

I started with 95 and it was comfortable for me. Something not heavy (i.e. very low risk of injuries) but heavy enough for me to get a feel of what clean's all about. Welcome to one of the most rewarding and challenging exercises there is. | ||

I am by no means a clean expert and my own form is horrible in the clean, but it seems like he should focus on getting elbows up and under the bar faster. The videos on californiastrength describes it pretty well. | ||

In the second video he teaches "sweeping" the bar, this is not what is taught in the californiastrength videos (atleast I am pretty sure it is not). Is this another thing where you just go by feel? | ||

But my clean is bothering me to hell and back. Once i get to my second pull it swings away from me and despite the fact I'm getting it in the slot, it's crashing on me much more than I used to even though i'm pulling better and it causing me to lose my bounce out of the catch and raping my collar bone. as can be seen here: I'm not sure what to do to keep myself from pulling so much and swing back away from the bar as opposed to pulling myself under it. Considering completely resetting my clean for a while and replacing strength training with heavy squats/rack jerks/snatches. I hope I can get to my coaches gym for a day or two this week and getting something more helpful than "relax" and "more feet" high block or high hang cleans! These would force you to pull quicker and get under the bar faster. These always helped me to minimize swinging of the bar. Which reminds me I need to do this a lot more. | ||

Having a go at some snatches just with the bar and I think my shoulder flexibility is really really poor for this  Also my elbows don't lock out at all (stuck at about 5 degrees flexion). I am doing pec stretches a lot but I cannot get into position for an overhead squat at all it seems. | ||

@dimsum - ever thought about changing your jerk to look more like this instead of popping out your feet super wide? | ||

Also I have been trying to fix my swinging too. My coach putting in more high pulls which helps.Also check out this program: http://assets.teamusa.org/assets/documents/attached_file/filename1/52336/Zygmunt_training_upload.pdf I copied it and sent it to some of the guys I coach. I like it a lot since you can work on different areas of the lift. | ||
