Getting better at power cleans

Yesterday was focused on power cleans.  Cleans are by far my worst lift, with overhead in a close second.  Being 6'8 doesn't help and the fact that, based on the video, I basically reverse curl the bar with momentum from the pull.  I guess if, in the end, the bar gets to your shoulders, all is well.  I just need to generate more power off the floor to pull the higher weights.

Here is a quick video of some of my sets working up to about 255:


I hadn't lifted all week on account of my neck, so I worked in some random things, and spent quite a bit of time warming up.  Here is the breakdown:

Warm-ups
Shoulder warm-ups 25 100
Leg warm-ups (swings, plyo) 50 100
Cleans (from floor) 155 6
185 2
205 2
225 1
235 1
255 1
Floor rows 205 8
205 8

Lat pulls 150 30

150 45
DB curls 40 16

As always, thanks for reading!
