Clean and jerk: how to do it
1 of 5
Bar over midfoot
Starting position
Stand hip-width with the bar over mid-foot, bend your knees and grip just outside your legs with a straight back.
The movement
Clean the bar to your shoulders and stand, dip briefly, drive it up and catch it with straight arms in a split, then bring your feet together.
Most common mistake
Don't press the bar out with your arms, drive it up with your legs and catch it overhead with straight arms.
