Looks good.

Looks good dude.

Looks fine to me.

The weight looks light though. Does your form break down when the weight is heavier?

Exactly what I was gonna ask. I find that I start to round my back if I go too heavy.

Looked fine, use more weight though that looked too easy for you.

Thanks everyone, I haven't really used much more weight than that because i've never had anybody knowledgeable enough to tell me if I'm doing them right or wrong. I don't want to practice bad form. I'll bump the weight up every workout and once it starts to get real heavy i'll post another video. I have a problem with the stomping though. The feet are supposed to completely leave the ground and stomp in a power clean right?

that is a minor point in my opinion. i have seen some good power cleaners never stomp.

he doesn't stomp, thats for sure...

however in order to get that full extension in the learning process coaches might recommend the stomping/jumping so that the trainee makes sure he gets the full extension.

looks ok, and I don't think you need to stomp. I don't

Your just pulling the bar a bit too high so it crashes back on you. Learn to meet the bar perfectly

No doubt. I bet this corrects itself if he increases the weight, though.

Form wasn't bad. I enjoy jerking the last clean of each set. But anyways i'd say you have to do something about those shoes. Converse are dangerous to wear when cleaning man. Imagine that weight dropping on your shoes. Pick up some shocks or something. lol.

You need to whip your elbows quicker. Here is a perfect power clean. This is my coach, he is a 1996 olympian and won the 2001 Arnolds w/ a 210kilo C&J

Is this a joke that's flying over my head? How would nike shocks protect you more than chucks if a weight fell on your foot?
