Hey guys I'm having trouble finding some good instructional videos on Powercleans. Normally I've been living by the Rippetoe vids for Bench Squat and DL's but I can't really find any for power cleans by him.

I find a bunch of "instructional" videos on youtube but it's so hard to tell which ones I can trust and which ones are just jackasses thinking they are helping. I searched the FAQ for some and couldn't find any in the lifting glossary, and if there was already a thread on this I'm sorry, I'm half searching half watching football.

Thanks in advance.
 
That's full clean, he's asking for power clean...which I would also like to see.

That video reminds me, I have the SS DVD where he goes over this. I wish I hadn't lent it out.

He should be able to piece together how to do a power clean instead of a full clean from the info in the thread. Aside from the catch it's basically the same movement, and the catch on a powerclean is significantly easier
 
You may get something out of watching Olympic competition footage, especially on the Internet where you can freely rewind it and look at the different parts of the lift over and over again. This definitely helped my cleans, for whatever that's worth.

If you can, post a video of your own form. There are some experienced lifters here who can give advice.



There's a Tommy Kono lecture on olympic lifting that might help you on youtube, and google searches with keywords like 'clean "second pull"' will get you some useful results.
 
Damn that last lift looked way to easy, he barley squatted a 1/4 of the way down.
