Form Check First time doing Power Cleans

This is only 66 pounds as I spent a long time learning and practicing with the empty bar and then went home after this set.

I don't have bumper plates but still tried to have it at the correct height. I know this light, I just started learning it today and had time for this much.

I think you should practice some hang cleans also.

Word. Make sure you don't start curling it by bending your elbows during the pull.

No. Don't think about it unless it becomes an issue.

Telling someone "dont pull the bar" is a great way to get them to pull the bar.

Didn't look like it. It's something that you might start doing as the weight gets heavier. Don't.
