The "control down, then explode up" tip is a great piece of advice.

[fearedxblade]

im not ussually a fan of generic crossfit coaches teaching specialized techniques, however this is one of the best dsiplay of coaching from a crossfit coach. bravo!

[DanielBMaximoff]

I'm learning that at crossfit. Practice makes perfect!

[friedpicklezzz]

She does a better job than I am (recently started doing this) but I noticed that professionals at the ‘jerk’ phase, go deeper and then explode with a tiny jump, and during that jump make their stance wider.

[jerrykey]

I do these with 5 rows after. They're great for supersetting at lighter weight

[ravuthpum]

damn nice tips!!! this will definitely help me out

[KiloCharlieOne]

Damn Brooke looked mighty normal in 2013.

[CaptainTeebsHotels]

Fuck me, a cross fit video with proper form. Never thought id see the day.

[undrtakr]

Can someone tell me what muscles the clean-n-jerk targets?

I'm looking for more compound exercises.

[bigbtripathi]

This is some compound exercise. I will have to add this to my gym routine.

[anbri]

thanks. so does the clean and jerk need to go below parallel for it to count? or the weight should just be heavy enough that the lifter needs to go below parallel?

[Taxidermistification]

She does it well. If the weight is really heavy lifters dip into a squat, stand up, and then jerk. The real hazard is trying to jerk without smacking the bar off your own chin.

[gilgothdae]

clean= below parallel
power clean= above parallel
usually unless specified you just go as deep as you need to in order to achieve that weight

[cjthai]

does the bar slide up your shins at the beginning of the clean?

[MayurUPatel]

u sir have won the youtube comment of the month

[juliolui]

[anbri]

the clean does not require you to squat below parallel?

[Azam]

This coach's half-assed compliments. She should see Brook now 😂

[soldjer]

She was doing it right the first time, you messed her up.
