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.
