Hi everyone,
So I just started doing power-cleans today, and my form looks egregious. I would like some feedback please. There are too many things wrong with this. From what I can see: I am not jumping high enough; I am yanking the bar with my hands as the bar comes in contact with my mid thigh; my arms are bending and they shouldn't; I am doing something weird in the rack position at the top; my balance is all over the place; the bar is swinging around and then coming to the rack position instead of coming up in a straight line.
I didn't think it would be this awful. Btw, the weight was not an issue. I started light as I don't know how to perform the move yet. I worked on it for 45 mins today, doing 5s x 6r. And it's so ugly. When I first did my deadlift and squat, they were no where as awful as my power-cleans. Any help is appreciated.
