Hey UTfootball4,
When you say highpulls are bad for technique, do you mean bad for your snatch and cleans techniques?Or do you think they are bad in general? With my shoulder problems (and inflexibility) I don't really want to get into snatches or cleans anyway. I can get (I think) most of what I would want from cleans just by doing high pulls.
Maybe it depends exactly what you call "highpulls". I explode off the floor, but shut down early, and don't really go above the sternum.
High pulls are bad for your clean/snatch tech. The pulls you are doing are great “regular clean/snatch pulls to your waist”. ELBOWS BEND POWER ENDS.
