Especially when doing FTOH reps, the clean takes so much out of me I just don't have anything left for the press. It feels as though while I'm rising the log starts slipping down my torso, I really have to fight to keep the log high on my chest. After watching the video back it looks as though I need to get my elbows a bit higher, and get my bodyweight a bit further behind the log? Tried to be a bit more mindful on my positioning on the second set, but it ended up in a bit of hesitation and making the clean even harder. The last set I decided to not think about technique at all, and just get the log to my shoulders as quickly and with as much power as possible. Incidentally the cleans probably felt the easiest on that set. Any cues or technique changes anyone could suggest to help me improve this? | ||

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Clean doesn't look too bad. Your main issue is that it's a thin log and they are always harder to clean because it will travel a shorter distance on the hip drive. With a thin log you want to try and pull it higher up on the first part of the clean so that the centre point of the log is around the hip. The other thing I notice is your elbows are low before you press. Aaron's article has some good tips for this. | ||

Incidentally find the press easier too. Will have to read this article, thanks  | ||
