FAST ELBOWS SAVE THE DAY!

Nothing feels as good as a smooth clean and Jerk. The clean and jerk and the snatch are complicated movements but once you start to put it all together you get addicted to them. These are two amazing lifts that make us all stronger and faster.

When you start to understand the movements it’s time to break them down.

• Focus on slow off the floor,
• Fast through the middle
• Getting as tall as you can before you pull yourself down under the bar.

If all that's going wrong pick one thing and start nailing that part before you work another part of the lift. One of the most important parts of the lift is to get your elbows around as fast as you can. This alone will make you a clean & jerk champ.

Please take a look at Sages blog, she's the real pro.
