Clean and Jerk
The clean to the shoulders, then a dip and drive to lock the bar overhead; the whole body in two movements.
How to do it
Setup
Clean setup at the floor.
Steps
- Clean the bar to the shoulders and stand.
- Re-set: breath, elbows slightly down, feet under hips.
- Dip, drive, and split or push under to lockout; recover the feet.
Common mistakes
Jerking from the clean's chaos: RESET between the two lifts. Dipping forward: straight down, heels planted. Pressing out a soft lockout: punch it locked or drop it.
Breathing
Breath before the clean, fresh breath before the jerk.
