Anyone who does power cleans?

[Bunny_isnt_funny]

To do an overhead press with my bar I need to lift it from the ground.

I pretty much get in the dead lift position, lift quick and I'm alright, nothing even feels it. I don't duck under the bar towards the end of the lift or squat really low at the start of the lift. Is it OK to do that? I know it's not a power clean, but I'm not interested in that, I just want to know if you think I'll do myself in. :P

Thank you. x

In all lifts you should keep good form and posture. Butt down, head and chest up is what I've always been taught and it truly works. That being said are you doing a power clean just to the chest or are you doing more of an overhead power snatch which is from the ground all the way to over your head in one motion, or are you doing more of a jerk press which is cleaning it to your chest then doing a jerk press overhead?
