Good. But you know if you are gonna brag like that, you have to post a vid.

Upward rotation of the scapula. Works heavily on overhead movements.

Uh, if you are gonna squat as low as you can, the knees HAVE to go ahead of the toes.

90 degrees to what? You must mean 90 degrees from the femur to the lower leg...that will bring you to about a half squat! hahaha

Holy cow, that is ridiculous.

And there isn't a chance to sway forward on cleans and snatches in a deep squat position?

Oh, I meant to say during squats. Start squatting with just the bar and see how long you will be going. Then set the pins a little below that to catch you if you get stuck in a squat.

DW, set the rack pins higher man. As low as they are they won't help as much.

Push Press wasn't bad, but the clean was horrible. Now that you got a 45 and 25 on each side, are you gonna actually learn the techniques that will lead to using much more weight? Or will you fall...

Start the session with technique work. Warm up with the front squat, some SLD, shrugs all with the bar.

Stand up straight and go on your toes and shrug the bar with arms straight. From here,...

ARe you keeping the weight over your heels, and are your knees in line with your ankles?

Well, if you are fresh to OL. That day is going to be a technique day. Very light weights, starting with the bar. Can you atg squat deep, front and back? Can you Overhead squat deep? Can you...

Just keep the weight where you can stay tight.
It just takes practice. Since I OL I am very good at keeping a tight arch, but I couldn't lift $hit with my back rounded.

You can learn on your own, but you have to become a student of the lifts. I am doing pretty good now only posting videos on fortifiediron.net on the olympic lifting forum. In the meantime, work on...

DW, seems like you do most of your lifting with a rounded back (back squats, deads, gms). I think you should practice lifting with your back arched too...such as on SLDL or good mornings. Do them...

Just curious, reaction time for what sport?

Yeah, I guess. Power Snatches are more about bar speed. Guess you could say power snatch is more speed/strength and power cleans strength/speed, just don't quote me on it.

I guess it would depend if the person's hang cleans are caught high (as in a power clean), or caught low (like in a squat clean).
For me, my power clean is the same as my hang squat clean, 230lb...

DW, those are some ugly cleans man. If you wanna get the technique, you are going to have to humble yourself and lighten the weights. Check out fortifiediron.net and go to olympic lifting forum. ...

I don't do many hang cleans, but I do hang snatches. I snatch dead the weight up, lower the bar to top of my knees and then drive hard. Actually had a good workout with these last night.
