I've been trying for weeks but it is true what they say,

its not hard. you just gotta EXPLODE up, you can't lift it slowly EXPLODE. Jump through the ceiling!

Just switch them out for chins

It's not impossible. It's dangerous.
You do light as fuck weight and film yourself from every possible view. You continue to do light, do cleans every other workout. Burn the feeling of that form in to your body before deciding to move up.

power cleans are very easy to learn, full cleans/snatches are difficult
have you actually read the book?

I tried learning powercleans alone, didn't help. took me 2 years until i found a guy willing to sit for 20mins with me to show me.

the key for me was to load some weight. most people say you must learn it with an empty bar (or even with a smaller barbell), but I couldn't understand the kinetics of the weight until I loaded 40kg.

I think thats my problem, i pull slowly and then when i get to my hips I pause and then do a little jump, trying to think about extending my feet, knees, hips and shoulders. I have never thought about extending a joint purposefully before, let alone 4 at once. And then I realise that i forgot to pull my head back or that I didn't stamp and pull myself under the bar.

And I haven't seen a single other person int he gym do it so I must look like a tard.

Power cleaning is a pretty natural movement. If you want to pick something heavy up to chest level, its the most natural way to lift it. I don't see why they'd be hard for anyone to learn. Maybe you're autistic?

you dont need to pull yourself under the bar its a power clean

>>39224680
Its a fluid motion, OP. There are stages to the lift but you should never stop. Commonly people tend to hesitate at the hips, causing a failure. Your momentum from your hip drive NEEDS to transfer to the clean stage.

The last part is the snap. Where you reach the final position of the lift. As your hands reach your chest, you must bend your knees, thrust your elbows forward and get your wrist beneath the bar, simultaneously.

Text doesnt do this lift justice, i recommend watching videos on the subject.

Pretty much this. But when learning just don't go over 50kg if you're a guy and 30kg if you're a girl. Like >>39224835 said just practice low weight until form burns into you

Doesnt deserve a thread. Just read starting strength you lazy illiterate faggot.

Power clean is not a reverse curl
If you ask someone to lift something up they are gonna slowly bring it up with their arms

>>39224680
I taught myself power cleans
