the young man should be commended. However, as you can see from the photo, the bar is too far forward of his center of balance. When that happens, the bar rides down the shoulders onto the wrists putting a lot of pressure on the arm joints.

Even more problematic, the shoulders fold forward forcing the spine to round. I would wager that if we could see this lifter from the side, his back would be out of position with the lower back forced to support much more weight than usual. The legs should be doing most of the work. I have watched these kids for years and, IMHO, the only reason there are no more injuries than there are is that they are still young and malleable.

There really needs to be more (qualified) supervision in the weight room.

I was asked by one of the hockey coaches, and I did volunteer for three years, but since I had no authority, I had no control. Nor was I asked to be more involved in formal training, even though they knew my background. I tried to make suggestions whenever the opportunity arose but any meaningful changes have to be made at the highest level. These kids look up to their coaches and it would only work that way.

Power cleans are far more technical than squats or bench presses. They are also better at making athletes than those other lifts. But, they need to be taught properly...or risk injury.

Healthy strong kids are a thing of beauty.

The strength coaches at BHS are as knowledgeable as anyone around. I'm no expert but I can't blame him for his form being a little off on his max out. You don't clean that much without first having good form.
