why are you not power cleaning, /fit/?
if you're not, you have memed yourself.
do you use hook grip for dl too now?
>>41069675
you replaced a movement that is very nonspecific to the deadlift with a movement that is slightly more specific (but still not that specific), and you are surprised that this yielded results?
the power clean is not a good way to develop your deadlift, you would be much better off doing romanian deadlifts or SLDLs if your goal is deadlift carryover

unlike RDLs , power clean helps my low bar squat too!
>>41069762
always used hook grip for DL worksets.
>>41069886
how in the world would a power clean help your lowbar squat, while an RDL would not?
also, what deadlift did you stall at, and what is your deadlift now that it has gone "through the roof"?
>>41069886
>low bar squat
nice bait

I used to clean like 225 in high school. Never much enjoyed it, and now ten years later my form has gone to shit.

Been doing SS for a 2~ months and I want to start doing light olympic lifts to learn them, is there a good beginner program?
Because I haven't learned it yet, and the gym staff gets angry when I try to practice it, so im stuck with a broom stick for a while.
>>41072667
Yeah. Learn the techniques

I used to bench 652 in kindergarten but my mum said I'm a bear and I should kill everyone there.
The bar always hits my fucking knees when I'm doing this. What gives?
>>41072816
lean forward slightly so that your shoulders are in front of your knees
the entire movement is round; if you hit your knees it means you are launching the bar upwards rather than at an angle
>>41072816
I used to have the same problem, then I stopped hitting the bar on my knees. Pretty simple really when pulling the bar up, make sure it doesn't hit your knees. Good that helps.
