I have been doing them beltless so far but when they get heavier am I best trying to replicate my normal deadlift as much as possible, of which wearing a belt is certainly part of my rythm now?

If one is deadlifting in another session on the same week, any thoughts as to how heavy one should go on the clean pulls. Bearing in mind for me the deadlifts are a lot more important.

Think of it as a jump, you want to be perpendicular to the floor while bringing the bar as high as possible. I can't see a difference in the speed below and above the knees. First pull, off the floor is a deadlift, slow, the bar takes off. Once you've passed the knees accelerate. Then the bar should be at hips level. Thats where you want to use the speed and shrug the bar while being on the tip of the toes getting the bar even higher again, every inches count, then drop for a clean. Maybe it's a bit too heavy to give it enough speed,i dont know, i cant read how much is on there. The bar is touching your legs and thats good, shoulders are above the bar and back is flat. You're doing pretty good mate.

You're doing pretty good mate. Cheers for that mate. It's 105 kilos. So are you saying I should be thinking of taking the bar up rather than trying to use my hips to send it up and forwards, which is what is making me lean back I think.. I can see what you mean about me not shrugging it. One more thing, if I always deadlift fast off the bottom then is it not OK to do it on these as I'm doing them as assistance for the deadlift, or does the same principle apply even if you're not doing them for oly lifts?

Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255 585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	If you're doing clean pulls do clean pulls. That means slow(ish) off the floor, then pushing the hips through explosively and shrugging explosively at the end (which, as mishima says, you're not doing). If you're doing them as deadlift assistance then presumably it's the second pull you're most interested in, for explosive lockout power. The first pull of the clean pull sets you up in the right position for this second pull, and to do that properly you should be pulling slow and controlled off the floor to just above the knees. I'm sure Andy can put you right on these at Adlington.

And should it be hips and shrug at the same time, or is there an order? I didn't feel like I was taking the bar high enough especially as it was only 50kg. Answers on a postcard please!!

For Kettle, For Country! Member 81, 1706 posts SQ 182.5, BP 120, DL 227.5 530.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Are those footy socks or something special? Also are those squat shoes or deadlifting 'slippers'? The reason I ask is because I was told I could/should use my squat shoes for deadlift type exercises too, is that the received wisdom? For example, I am wondering whether I should power clean in my flat soled converse style shoes or my squat shoes? Sorry I can't help on your technique!
