Power clean without bumpers

[nainchik]

Read some info through searching, but i guess i'll make a thread anyway.

So, i want to start doing power cleans, but i don't have bumper plates. Can i still do them okay? Should i just be holding the bar in the bottom of the moment? Or stack some plates under?

The thing is, plates in my gym are smaller, the closest weight i can get to with proper height is 100lbs (there will still be a height deficit), and i can't just start with 100lbs, i guess. So, my question should have been not about bumper but oly plates.

Stack a few plates under them to get the height right.
