trying new things, questions

Tried cleans and front squats today.

with the front squats, the bar hurts my front shoulder area whenever I squat down, just when i squat down. I have to rerack and try again before the pain were to get too bad. and no it's not that I have to get used to the bar lying on the muscles..it's only in my right shoulder and it's a tiny pain inside of the shoulder, like it's a rotator cuff problem, but i'm really not sure. Anybody ever have this?

Okay with Cleans...I think I'm doing them right. I'm not totally coordinated with it so sometimes it might be too far away from my body or too close to my body (bounces off of my belly or my thighs because I kind of slam it into them to make sure i keep the bar close..) on the way up. I also don't have any coaches to help me and I don't trust school coaches because they encourage half squats. Is my best bet to just keep doing them over and over until I get them pretty down and then when i stall out look for what is wrong with my form and try to better it?
 
better your form now, why risk injury with bad form on heavier weights? get it set now, with proper form you will get stronger, and stay injury free. Search youtube, or the internet for videos of olympic lifters and study their form. GL
 
front squat pain inside shoulder seems like a posture and flexibitly problem... you'll get used to it... just strech and do alot of warm ups... practice with light weights too if you want.

Cleans... check out Coach Hatch... aceathlete.com
