    Great video! If I may critique just one thing - at 8:29 when you demo the full clean, you're catching the bar at the top of your stance. When you have a heavy load, it's easier to catch it as you're on your way down into a squat. Sort of like getting underneath the bar, rather than muscling the bar all the way up to your shoulders and then going down into your squat.

    • @drakebane9527
      @drakebane9527 3 года назад +1

      This is sadly an aftereffect of his way of teaching high pulls. You don't high pull in cleans. The only Pull work you do is to the bellybutton, from there it's all about dropping under the bar. But because he's taught himself and others to high pull he's wasting energy pulling it up so extremely high he doesn't have to duck under with lighter loads.

    • @PovertyBench
      @PovertyBench 2 года назад

      If we’re getting technical, he really should be pulling himself under the bar since dropping underneath it will probably result in it crashing onto his shoulders and not being able to decelerate and dropping it

    • @drakebane9527
      @drakebane9527 2 года назад

      @@PhiyackYuh can't show, but I have my athletes do Russian style high pulls. You do a regular clean all the way up until you make contact. After that you keep pulling with elbows up and shoulders shrugged slightly but no higher than bellybutton height. That's where you have them hold the position for half a second fully extended on the toes to simulate the final pull of the clean before you're supposed to drop under.
      I could also let them do Le Li La pulls (panda Pulls) which are Pulls that look like they go higher but you drop in squat stance before returning to the clean stance in a fluid motion. This however is very advanced.
