The proper clean saves me a lot of energy rather than continental, it's like 3 moves just to get it to my shoulders.


And puts a lot of pressure on your back for the forthcoming DL event afterwards.

What, as opposed to leaning back and balancing the weight on your nicely out of position spine? Grin

Do the clean that you can do most of. It's for reps. For me I'll be cont from the start. Might be able to get a propper clean but I've 1. Used up more energy doing it that could be spent elsewhere 2. I've competed aginst boys and got more reps even though there better pressers but they fail the clean. There just to stupid or arrogent to be sensible



Watching telly while I wrote this so if it doesn't make sense the point is don't be a dick and take one on the chin and do whatever you can do most of Even if it's not as pretty


Don't think its arrogance mate. Conventional power clean can save a lot of time (allowing more rest within the time) and for a lot is more energy efficient.

There's a reason why those that can clean the weight tend to at Arnolds.
