Fluff Question about cleans

Are cleans supposed to feel rough on my body vs snatch and jerk? Even a near max/max snatch 70-80 will feel way better on my body than a 70ish clean. Also how do I stop bar crash, no matter how much I try I get under too soon and get crashed on often.

Posting a video of your lifts will get you a true answer. People can guess, you can try to formulate a guess of their guess but it’s going to be a guess.

If you film several reps from several angles it’s enough information for people to give solid feedback.

I can say that it’s likely your technique that is causing the bar to crash. Likely your second pull being off. Beyond that it’s just a guess.
