Adam... ha, ha, I , I trust your form is better than mine... BTW saw Raidiohead, mostly due to your heads up about the tour months ago... good show, thanks.
Bodbuldingnovice, there is no room in my house for a squat rack... It is also counter intuitive to me to be able to pull weight on my shoulders that I can't get off, under control. That is not necessarily the "correct attitude", but it how I feel about my strength. I will keep a special eye on my elbows, though. Thanks for the suggestion.
Gottabefit... no there is a distinction, a power clean does not have the catch in the ATG position, that is simply called a clean.... details details. The power clean requires only a dip at the knees, for the catch... It is used more frequently by people who want to improve sports performance, power, and strength.
I do want to learn how to do the "clean" though, but I feel it is folly at this point since my pull is absolutely piss poor. it's only going to get tragic if I try to catch real low at this stage of my game..
oh about my legs...

, well shucks
