Clean pulls? That's just the clean movement but without the actual lift?I will try the front squats but I already know I suck at those lol.
some tips....
clean pulls are just the explosive shrug and toe raise coming from the deadlift position like I had you doing, remeber? work on pulling straight up and being explosive. Use more weight here than you use to do your actual cleans since you need some weight on the bar to impart enough velocity on the bar. Do these after you work on your form on cleans. This is the clean movement without the actual lift.
For the front squats, do them in the racked position (that is the catch position of the clean). try and keep the elbows up at about 7 or 9 o'clock so that your chest and back stay up. Sit down into it. These can be tough if you don't ahve olympic lifting shoes because most people don't have good enough flexability. Work on getting good depth by sitting in the hole (pause squats) to let yourself stretch out.
A typical workout would be:
clean
clean pull
squat (front squat or back squat)
or, you can just wait till I move out there eventually and help you myself.
