mark rippitoe is the fucking man!

[PrometheanRunGood]

pretty shit form.

@vleon1012 That's because you're inexperienced with holding the weight there. Much like calluses develop on your hands from DLs and back exercises, they develop there too to cope with the weight being put there. Give it time.

This guy is a great lifting coach.

@FieldBoy111 That is a clean. This is a power clean, where the weight is caught in a half squat position. The same applies for the power snatch and the snatch for example.

@FieldBoy111 could be wrong but im pretty sure what you saw are called squat cleans.

[FieldBoy111]

so this is actually the proper way to power clean ? ive seen people dropping and squatting deeper with this movement .

For some reason I feel like covering Rippetoe's bald spot with a yarmulke... anyway, great stuff, he's been helping me get all my power lifts down

@vleon1012 dont catch them on ur collarbones...

ur elbows probably arent high enuff. u want the bar on ur delts

@DrJuice1 learn how to catch, it's the hardest part, rember to use your legs on the cleaning part, not your back, remember it is not a reverse curl ans SQUAT more often, front squat and atg.
