Notes: Again, a clean pull is not a deadlift.  We are working strengthing up the proper positioning for a clean.  I want you to sweep that bar back and transfer your weight to your heels as you drive the legs in.  Here is an example of a clean pull + clean pull from below knees.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB-aCN7oT60.  Skip to 30s in. 

I want your pull to be a little more controlled and more forceful on driving the knees back while keeping a good back angle.  Think more about driving or PUSHING through the legs than actually pulling.  Also, the hang portion should have a 2 second pause at below knee to reinforce that position. 

Bench should NOT be hard.  Work through the sets fast.
