Do you pre-load the shifter before you clutch??

Ive had this problem a few times, I've learned when Im reving it high, I have to shift solidly, fast, and decisively

Isn't that how you're supposed to shift? Clutch, shift, clutch?

I heard powershifting was bad for the bike...is it? and how do you do it if it isnt? I've always wanted to know how to powershift any manual vehicle
