Hands aren't too wide. His feet are slightly too far apart for his grip. Notice how his knees are caving inward even before he starts the lift, due to his stance.

Power cleans are a horrible excercise.
It places tremendous forces on the involved muscles, connective tissues, and joints.
Furthermore, this excercise involve to much momentum to be effective muscle builders.
When you do an excercise, it shouldn't have to injure you. If it does, you're obviously doing a wrong excercise that's not giving you muscle tone, but just damaging your muscles.
@MasakoXer what are you talking about you gimp? you just said it places tremendous forces on the muscles then you say it has too much momentum to build muscle. which is it? and if its done right it doesnt injure you otherwise it wouldnt be an olympic sport. and its not even meant to be used for hypertrophy its to improve overall strength and speed strength or power. TWAT!!!
That clean was just fine. Don't listen to these backseat drivers trying to criticize your form when they probably couldn't clean the dam floor with a mop.

uhh.. if ya want some leg development your gonna want to squat right after throwing your elbows under the bar. If you do the full clean with the squat, you work upper and lower body, the way your doing is just upper.
umm...no. how is that more of a snatch when a snatch is lifting the weight up overhead in one fluid motion? he is CATCHING the bar in the clean. also, a power clean MAY include a squat, but a very slight one. where did you get your info from?
Good stuff :) One small point is that you're kicking the bar out front a bit, which is why you're jumping slightly forward and don't receive it perfectly balanced. When the weight gets much heavier that'll cause you to miss an otherwise-makeable weight
@ajwazhere Actually it's the opposite. The heavier the weight, the harder it is to rein the bar back in towards the body once you've kicked it forward. The leverages all change and you'll end up simply losing everything in front.
@madaozeki Honestly, both of our points are correct, but when you look at them both in unison, logically it should work out. Sure you will have a difficult time back towards you, but then again you wont have to pull it back as far as done in this video because the transfer of momentum from your legs making contact will create less kinetic energy since weight is increased.
@ajwazhere You're right that there will be less bumping of the weight, with less energy transfer. However, when the weight is light, as soon as the bump occurs, you're already pulling the bar back in towards the body to counteract the outward bump. As the weight increases, the combined center of gravity of your body plus the bar gets lower and lower, meaning it's more and more difficult to counteract any forward bumping. That means the bar actually gets bumped further forward than light weight.
@ajwazhere Kind of fun to pick up a thread on a comment I made 3 years ago :) The important issue is combined center of gravity. The leverages change dramatically from when the barbell is less than or around bodyweight, to when you're at 1.5x bodyweight and above. With the heavier weights, the lifter must be more patient and ensure the 2nd pull is completely finished, but if the bad habit of bumping forward is already present at light weights, it'll be a lost cause once things get heavy.
theres a small flaw in his form. the wider the feet stance at the catching moment of the bar, the crappier form it is. duck stance squat after a power clean is the first MAJOR sign of bad form in power cleaning or even just the clean itself.
@prodigy1324 No they are NOT. Perfectly spaced as said before. When ur going the scarecrow you will need that wide grip. Otherwise you cant do it right and get problems laying it on your shoulders. But i assume you allready knew that
man i suck at these, its crazy how many little things you need to get right for good form, same goes for the snatch

@madaozeki You also are overlooking the fact that higher weights will be much more difficult to kick the bar out so far.

The footstance chould be a bit narrower in the start. Other than that it looks good, hard to judge form from this angle though...

His hands placement is fine, and his foot position in the catch is fine. Hip to shoulders. Nothing wrong with this.
