Right homos....I was never intending to post these as they were for me to work on tekkers, but here is me doing a 70kg (154lbs) clean and failing at 80kg (176kg)... *awaits mass abuse for not being able to lift heavy shit etc*
70kg
80kg
I will get 80kg by the end of the week, I know I need to drop into it a little and it's mine.
You're kind of doing a hang-clean. You aren't getting under the bar at all- it's all in your upper back and traps. The fact that you're bending your knees fwd instead of catching it low like a squat says that you're trying to get under it too early. Practice with lighter weight, switching to the front-squat bar-grip position from the pull, and using your hips to bounce the weight up.

I don't really have much confidence in getting under the bar to be honest and I have no idea why. Cheers for the tips, I'll record my effort tomorrow whilst trying to incorporate your tips.
