I want to learn power cleans.

[Debaser]

These are pretty technical. Where are the best resources to learn how to clean properly?

zzzzzzz

I have posted so many links so many times, I'm about to shoot myself!

front squat with a clean grip first, if you can't do this, then you can't power clean

 

[Debaser]

I'm sure you have, but non-platinum searching is almost impossible.

Although I've never spent any prolonged amount of time power cleaning, the one thing that helped the most is doing lots of the component oly lifts like high pulls, hang pulls, hang cleans and front squats.

Godd advice, it is much easier for a coach to make corrections on you, rather then making them yourself.

The main thing to remeber is, no ulling with the arms! The hips, legs, calves and traps do all the work. The arms are just like hooks, keep em loose like ropes. It's basicly a jumping shrug.
In fact do jump shrugs helps you learn how to do em properly

power clean is like this without the deep squat under, just a quarter squat
