    Umm, how would somebody manage to get the weights to the centre of the bar?? Plus the range of motion would be greatly reduced. Just do it normally and put the weight on the ends of the bar.

    Yes, the power clean involves pulling the bar as high as possible, catching it and racking it across the clavicles. The conventional clean involves only pulling the bar high enough to dive under it.
