Is there a certain way to safely bring the bar back down with these? Once I bring it back down to about chest height, I flip it over and the thing practically takes my body with it. I weigh around 175 now and can do these with 120-135.
The problem is, it's beating my left shoulder to hell. I can't even do bench presses anymore b/c of it.
So anyway, I quit doing these and cleans. I wish I could do them again cause I liked them a lot.

Use your legs.
I've read multiple places that a lot of injuries occur when people get lazy as they are re-racking or setting the weight down.

Yes, the only shoulder problems I've ever had in WL, have come from not watching what I'm doing while re rackng jerks
Do you have any video links or anything? If I bring it down and bend my legs, it'll smash into my quads. I don't think I understand what you mean.
Are you having problems getting the BB from the front squat position down to a hanging position? It is a bit awkward. Only thing I know is to make sure you keep your posterior tight and bend at the knees a little - straight may exasperate the bar trying to pull you forward/down.

Are you talking about after you do a Jerk? Not a clean?
I snap the weight up to my collar bone. So it's sitting up there with my elbows forward...
Now i need to bring it back down . If I flip it down to my hips, it really hurts my shoudlers. If I bend my knees and flip it to my hips, it'll slap into my quads.
