Skipping the Olympic lift
“No other movement involves as much pure athleticism,” says Bergeron. “Strength stamina, speed power, accuracy, agility are all tested during Olympic lifts. It’s a great way to build explosiveness through the hips, which is key in almost all sports. Think about how a skier drives through the turn, there’s a lot of hip explosiveness there.”
The Fix
Start with the power clean, using just a broomstick until you dial in your form.

I'm sure it's operator error but I was only successful in opening one of the instructional form videos. It was good but the format of trying to open stinks. What's wrong with user friendly?
