Cleans

 The clean is arguably the most athletic strength movement on earth. Huge force production, high power outputs, extremely fast changes of direction, and stability in a variety of body parts throughout the movement make it terribly complex movement. 

Combining the deadlift, a maximal vertical leap, and a front squat is a gross description of the clean. Timing is very important on the clean. Pull a millisecond too long and you are still pulling when you need to be under the bar. Explode too hard and the bar is out in front and you have to go and get it (jump forward) or bail. Squat down too fast and the bar crashes on your shoulders. Let the back relax for a millisecond and you

collapse. You get the point, I hope. The clean needs to be coached by a very qualified coach. Seek coaching from someone who has lifted heavy on the clean they know better. Science has analyzed the clean and the science is exact. There is one right way for any-body to perform. Long arms changes the lift. Short legs changes the lift. Torso length also changes the lift.

Why does he get red lights on this lift?
The elbows may not touch the legs during this phase of the lift.
That is a good way to break one's arm(s).

Position yourself as if to perform a maximal vertical leap. Jump as high as you can, without leaving the floor. Squat under after exploding maximally. Stand and then the jerk. It requires athletic ability. We have to be in the right place at the right time like all sports. Get a coach. Doc’s Gym has the best coaches in this country.
