How to perform the clean and jerk
- Perform a clean to bring the barbell to your shoulders. Then, dip your knees slightly and drive through your legs to push the barbell overhead. As the barbell goes up, split your legs into a lunge position to catch the barbell overhead. Bring your legs back together and stand up straight with the barbell overhead. Lower the barbell back to your shoulders and then to the ground.
