Trust me after you DL your 1rm everything feels so much lighter you'll just flick it up.
I recently was stuck at 155 full clean, but after I did my Deadlifting I took off some of the weight and did 205 with ease.

The problem is pretty much all in the form. Just a little bit of tweaking added 20, IIRC, to the lift. By tweaking I mean, reading online.

The form was still shitty on this one. The catch was sloppy, I ran forward 2-3 feet... yeah, during the catch.

I've been struggling with full clean form too, think you could toss some of those links my way?

mouse over "key positions" and then click clean

Here's another set of stuff:

THE CLEAN:
Drill Progression:
-front squat
-shrug and go ( bar at waist, 3 shrugs and go under on third)
-high hang (full clean from high hang)
-low hang (clean from low hang)
-can do clean starts if you want, but probably on to:
-cleans

Tips:
-keep shoulders over bar
-don't jerk weight off of floor (NO noise. silent at the bottom, music at the top...)
-keep back ARCHED all through the lift
-arms straight
-pull shoulders to ears as dynamically as possible
-snap elbows around, and keep them high

Awesome, thanks a lot. I've been working on power shrugs a lot to help out with the top of the lift, but haven't tried progressing towards a full clean using other lifts which seems like a good idea.
