Good points by The Apprentice. It takes time to get accustomed to the stretch required for the fingers, wrist, triceps and shoulders. Worth the time invested, though maybe not a couple of months for most. Same thing might apply to the cleans themselves.. Good Luck.
Side Bar: The only way manning up would apply to QO's is when he is bent over, grabbing his ankles and yelling "man up" for the next man to plug his butt.
