Powerclean and overhead presses are two of the lifts that have taken the longest for me to learn. I started with powerclean in 2014 and quickly got 80 kilo but since haven't improved much. Overhead press was not too hard for me as long as standards weren't too high: 40 kg for one rep during the 80's and 10*40 in 2006-2010 was rather easily achieved. But now that Crossfit has significantly increased expectations for overhead lifts, I've had to work hard to overcome teenage injuries to shoulders. Powerclean is unexpectedly hard considering I did clean the weight for military press already during the 80's, and I can't figure out why it's hard, but this is quite often how it's been going with my lifts, after trying now and then, it suddenly works. The most common is that it takes 3 years for me to learn a lift, but some worked on first try. Pushpress was entirely new to me in 2014, I have only tried it a couple of times and can't say I know how to do it.
