PowerCleans

[DonkeyKong]

Just strated doing power cleans and was wondering if Im doing them right.I see some guys jumping up in the air and Im wondering if thats what your supposed to do.I also read a long thread on some olympiclifting board where there was a debate on the proper way to perform these.Can anyone shed some light on the best way to do these?

When you're pulling the bar up, it's possible to create such force as to lift the feet off of the floor. Read this article. Peace.

Definitely don't jump. People that jump are doing cleans totally wrong. Move the bar with your hips. Best way to learn that is by starting with hang cleans.
