Monday, 26 March

Welcome back from the weekend.  Today we will focus on the most powerful lift there is - the clean and jerk.  You can't find a lift that moves a heavier load such a great distance in such a short time.  The clean and jerk moves the barbell from the floor to the locked out position overhead.

for me it was more like a power clean and press - I never dropped below parallel for the clean and my terrible form on the 'jerk' was actually a push press.

Thanks to Matt and Leigh for the tips and coaching!

Terrible form kept me from lifting the loads I should have been able to. Something else to work on!
