Form felt week, too much emphasis on my quads rather then my whole legs, so Pulled out the old low box made out of those step up pilates/aerobics things.
Dropped the weight to 185 and went LOW.
Could only power out 185 x 6 x 3 but felt soo good.
Those 'clean pulls' look like a recipe for disaster and a blown back. I can understand Olympic level lifters doing them as a workup for their lifts but for us at a 'hobby' level they're not needed. If you want traps do behind the back shrugs on the Smith machine with relatively light weight but perfect form. Do a weight that you can comfortably do with perfect form and rep it til it burns. Then rep some more and hold it.
Like Halo said guys doing massive weight with free weights or bars are wasting their time. At my gym they're always the guys who don't do deadlifts or squats so that should tell you something. I do a MAX of a plate and a 25 on the Smith machine and my traps are frequently commented on.
Clean pulls are about as simple as olympic style lifts get. Just like any lifts, start with a lower weight and work your way up, making sure form is good. You can fuck yourself up on any lift, even curls as people here have proven.
power shrug =/= clean pull? Looks like basically the same thing
JD as long as your back stays arched I don't see how you could hurt yourself .. but it is a scary thought to have 315 lbs in your hands and all your weight on the balls/toes of your feet. maybe wear a belt for extra safety
FUUUU, I hurt my back after attempting my squats goal...
Now I have a back pain and I am thinking i should do alternate exercise than squats...
Is there any substitute to squats?

If you're looking for a long term alternative to squats than no, there are no substitutes.
If you just want some leg exercises to do until your back is good enough to squat again, don't worry about it. Your time would be better spent rehab'ing your back, mobility work and strengthening your core. This way you can squat to depth in the future without compromising your lower back.
I hurt my back a couple weeks ago too and all I've been doing is a lot of stretching and some body weight squats to work on technique.
Maybe that's how ur supposed to do it, but that super intense rapid, fast paced movement looks really uncontrolled and risky, looks kinda sketchy for the older folks....
There are no principles, there are only events. There is no good and bad, there are only circumstances. The superior espouses events and circumstances in order to guide them.

you're probably not bending your knees enough and trying to arch your back when you're going down..

Sounds like your form wasn't good.
Either you didn't breath in properly to push out your core (reducing any strain on lower back)
Or you descended down too fast, compacted the shit out of the back
Or you didn't correctly grip the bar, such that you were tightening the upper and lats.
No substitute for building t-rex legs other than squats [unless you were genetically given large calves/quads, and just need to tone them ]
And you might want to get that back checked out if its' tough to walk or mobility issues. Either way, I'd lay off the gym.

On a side note, is it just me or has the T-nation articles been lacking in substance.
