Powerclean and overhead presses are two of the lifts that have taken the most workouts 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 (I did 5 at most) and 10*40 in 2006-2010 (I did 15 at most). 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 how it's been going with my lifts quite often, after trying now and then, it suddenly works. Just that powerclean and some other lifts have taken extremely long. 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. In this video I use push jerk though (weight moves quickly all the way up), which is new to me for this autumn.
