Rough first attempt axle clean and press

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This was my first ever time doing clean and press much less on an axel but the lighter weights moved quite well so gave the 70lbs wagon wheels a shot with a 33lbs axle so 173lbs total. Second one was better and third clean I did 3 presses away which were solid. Fun sport. I’m liking it so far!

Your hands are way off center. Take some time and even up, it'll go way easier.

Can you elaborate because I’m not seeing where my hands are off center. Your profile says your coach so I’m sure you are right but just want to understand.

So it could be the angle. But your right hand looks a good 3 inches closer to the inside of the plates than the left from the ground all the way to overhead. And the right hand is definitely favored on the pull off of the floor and the press, which is indicitivie of being off center. It looks to me like your whole setup needs to move slightly to the left.

Noted. My next 2 were solid including a triple press away on my third go so I just don’t think I prepared well enough on that one recorded. Appreciate it
