Topic: Slippery shoulders during cleans. Does it really make a HUGE difference?

You are much more strong than that weight.
Go to the gym, and no quit until lift it.
GO!

No need. I have a heavy training session tomorrow. It will not be the day when I max out, but I will use the opportunity to lift with better technique with near-maximum weights.

Also if you can try to find a weightlifting gym that has bumpers and allows you to drop your weight.  That will allow you to push more weights since you wont have to worry about controlling the weight back to the floor.  If I had to do that I would be lifting significantly less then what I was capable.

Where do you live?

Boise, Idaho. Trust me, the last thing I would ever want is a weightlifting gym with weightlifting coaches. I don't trust coaches here in the U.S. UNLESS THEY WERE SCHOOLED UNDER FOREIGNERS. Plus, I am too much of an arrogant mofo to accept the fact that people may actually know better than me (screw that ****. I'm a genius.).

I recently blew out some money on a very state-of-the-art training center for my MMA fetish. It has everything from boxing rings to bumper plates. The only thing about it is that it is not 24/7, which is extremely important for me due to my unpredictable work schedule.

However, if I find the time, I should try lifting there.

If you cannot be persuaded to go elsewhere see if you can talk to club owners (start with the club you are at) and ask them if you bring your own bumpers if they will allow you to drop the weights.  This will obvisouly cost you more money but in the long run help.  It will also require explaining the nature of weightlifting and will be an incredible long shot but worth a try.  I can get you an article explaining the safety of weightlifting that you can give to them as well.  Plus, you may have to negotiate a time with them that will be less busy like in the evenings so you are not "disruptive."  Slim chance but worth a shot.

then your statement is unjustified and your argument about not trusting  u.s"weightlifting" coaches is invalid, i hear your a big fan of the bulgarian method, btw how those bulgarians do in beijing?
