I've seen alot of guys with different techniques when it come to the clean as well as the jerk, the one i'm having trouble with is where you use your hip to assist you in cleaning the bar to the shoulder area of the lift, it looks like guys are actually bumping the bar with their upper thighs? but i can't quite get this down...then i've seen guys who almost treat the clean in the same way as the snatch, wher they do sort of a high pull followed by dropping the hips to get the bar situated at the shoulder part of the lift...any recommendations or tricks of the trade..BTW i haven't done weightlifting movements in almost 10 years. lol
