Reply With QuoteNo offence, but your form is rather horrible. It's not even a power clean.
Some key mistakes:
- you bounce the weight off the floor. That's where all the momentum comes from.
- you don't keep the weight close to your body.
- you don't end in a Clean grip.
Watch some olympic lifters clean and evaluate from there.

Indeed. You're not doing power cleans - you're dribbling a barbell.
This is a power clean: http://www.uwlax.edu/strengthcenter/...er%20Clean.mpg
Also this, here demo'd by Lyle McDonald's girlfriend: Powerclean series video on Sports
This isn't a power-clean - it's a clean (ie off the floor), but for reference:

Shut the #&@% UP! That's what the damn white platform Im standing on is for, It wouldnt be called power clean if the weight didnt hit the floor. Get your facts right before you try to make somebody look stupid, otherwise you'll just endup making yourself look stupid!

No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

I find his attempt at prowest in this forum saddening and inferior on every level imaginable. However, in more suitable arenas it could be considered to be VERY impressive!
Just event a new name for the exercise and repost. ; )
