Just so you know Christian Olsson swedish triple jumper, he weights about 73-80kg, PC 145kg FS 120-125kg BS 152.5kg
How is that possible to powerclean that much more than he FS? [/quote]
He has a very strong pull. Theirs no squatting involved, just pull high and pop under.[/quote]
Strong back squat = strong pull? Is that true?[/quote]
Mmmm not for me. Strong pull = strong pull. My Bs sucks but I have a good pull. I’m sure it would help but I think the FS would help more and block work for strong pull. Plus below the knee and hang variations.
Edit: I’m sure jonty or koing could answer this better than me.[/quote]
I saw that somewhere recently but I didn’t really understand the relationship. I have a strong pull (I was told - I don’t really know what that means with respect to) but my back squat and deadlift are pretty close. My snatch high pull (to my chest) is almost 20kg over my best snatch though, but I’m sure that’s a technique thing.

Well do you get buried under cleans? If you do then your pull probably is stronger than your legs i.e. you have a strong pull or crappy legs. A weak pull also means technique, like your 2nd pull may be crap or your transition from below to above knee is crap. [/quote]
No, so I guess maybe I don’t have a strong pull relative to my squat. It was just something I was told that I didn’t really get. But then my limits are all technique related anyhow so it doesn’t matter.

Well you dont have to get buried, but the standing up part might be the hardest. Does cleaning more increase your clean or does an increase in FS increase your clean?
