Is anyone here actually good at power cleans?
- Thread starter semtex

start low and practice form 
When I was fat the heaviest I attempted was 175(failed) got 165 tho
Might give it a try again

Sometimes I think I can get 205 then I look down at the weight and I'm like
Ha, I know that feel. I just started doing them and thought my form/technique was pretty good in the 135-165 range, failed horribly at 185. My elbows are all over the place from the jump to the catch.
Nobody in my gym does them except for a few crossfit dudes with potato form.

Ever since I saw that hugarian dude from the olympics elbow pop doing it I had an irrational fear doing clean and presses 
I'm fairly decent at them..

Just my random guess, but you're prob gonna have to be able to atg front squat 350ish or just be ridiculously strong or be ridiculously efficient.

Wanna learn this shyt too.
Found something that kinda inspires me brehs
Vardanyan gotta be the GOAT. Won the gold medal at 1980 olympics, but his lifts would have earned him the gold in the two weight classes above his, and bronze in the next. Crazy. Here's a vid of his personal record set that nobody since has been anywhere near.
Look at how this crazy Armenian C&Js, 5:50. No real set up, he picks up the damn bar off the ground and cleans
493 lbs at 180 bw.

I know a lot of y'all shyt on Crossfit but this Burgener cat knows his shyt. It was his techniques they used at my affiliate to teach us how to do it. You can search his other vids too.

Takes a TON of practice.
Alot of reading, or a coach.
And you need bumpers, because dropping the weights is just part of the game.
Wrist, triceps, and lats need to be pretty flexible to achieve the "rack" position.
Generally speaking, one should be able to clean a weight they front squat for 5 reps(with a clean grip) pretty easily, 3 reps with good technique, and anything less than that and you have awesome technique.
