Im thinking of joining my uni's rugby team this coming fall. I've been doing powerlifting for 2 years recreationally and i'm thinking of slowly transitioning to olympic lifting very slowly to compliment my rugby game. I've began considering switching deadlift with power cleans, thing is even though i can deadlift over 5 plates conventionally, i cant clean anything over 185,
What can i do to rectify this problem? How do i learn power clean tehnique? I obviously already have the raw power

On alot of my catches i keep dropping the bar forward/ not catching deep enough into my clavicle. What am i most likely doing wrong?
bar should not be on your clavicle, btw. bar rests on shoulders. if the bar is on your clavicle your shoulder are not raised, which means your rack is not right.
Parker Howard
not bad.
'shoulders back' is a shit but common american cue
shoulders should be internally rotated in the pull. this should happen naturally and easily with the 'elbows out' cue that he gives. traps should be engaged but not fully flexed.

Getting back into lifting doing SS but want to move into oly lifting shortly after. Probably just 4-5 days with the main lifts, followed by a squat max and back off sets.
The problem right now is, my external rotation of both shoulders is terrible and I can't support a snatch/overhead squat. I haven't even been able to train power snatches. Really struggling to find a good way to improve my shoulder mobility/strength.

Additionaly, what other programs i could do that helps me transition from powerlifting into olympic lifting?
I looked up beginner programs for oly lifting and either the guy writing them are idiots or expect everyone reading to be on steroids to have time to train 3 hours twice a day.

70's big had an article on transitioning to weightlifting. Sometimes the website can fuck up, just refresh if it doesn't work.
some oly lifter at my new gym told me my snatch reminded him of oleg chen. i'm a happy boy.

Having a basic guideline for learning the lifts is not a bad idea though.
Christopher Wright
Where do I find a weightlifting waifu?
Hunter Walker
at your local olyclub
Gavin Flores
look for the calstrength vidyas where glenn pendlay shows you his teaching progressions for all the lifts
bullshit there are tons of routines dan john catalyst athletics lsus 10-5-3 glenn pendlay forum routines (archives) everett, takano, fleming all have books with routines this shit is not rocket science
Owen Carter
Most weightlifter girls have some kind of a complex No pun intended
Austin King
*Most girls

>bullshit there are tons of routines Lol let me quess, you are "learning on your own"... I love the fact that you defend yourself, but you're still wrong.
Routines are just routines. If your leg drive sucks in the jerk, its better to do jerk drives than clean + jerk 1+1. Or if your pull is slow as fuck (you don't know how to produce force, how to stay on full foot, how to cover the bar etc.) it's better to do snatches from blocks (above knee) rather than full snatches and so on.
But hey just keep doing your "routine" and then wonder why your tech stays shit and varies a lot on different days
