Eerrrrmmm... Wear thicker clothes? Really don't know that's just the only thing that comes to mind. Personally never had a problem with it, has this always happened or did you just start doing cleans?

Post a video. There could be several reasons. most likely your not finishing some part of the lift, your elbows are slow on the turnover and the bar is crashing on you instead of you meeting it properly.

I clean 5-7x a week my shoulders and clavicles have no bruises. If you're getting bruised up then without a doubt the bar is crashing on you because you're not meeting it properly once you go under. Why its crashing on you is the hard part to determine without visual aid.

You're doin it wrong then broOriginally Posted by Bechsgaard
"There is no question that belts assist in generating a few more Newton-meters (or foot-pounds) of torque in the torso through elastic recoil of a bent orso that is stiffened with a belt. However, if a neutral spine is preserved throughout the lift this effect is minimal. In other words, to obtain the maximal effect from a belt, the lifter must lift poorly and in a way that exposed the back to a much higher risk of injury!”
