97kg Clean and Jerk Attempt

Hello people of the internet, I recently attempted a C&J @ 97kgs/215 American freedom units and failed the jerk. I was able to get under it however I had soft elbows. What do you guys recommend I do to fix this ? Is it a technical thing or a strength thing ? My current OHP is 155lbs

Thank and goodbye 👋🏻

135lbs - Double

Hello people of the internet,

I just wanted to ask how’s my form looking on this strict overhead press ? I don’t want it to turn into an incline overhead press.

Thanks !

111kg x 4 FS

Finally put some actual weightlifting shoes this time on. I probably could’ve made the 5th rep if I wasn’t stupid and lost tension in the core. Anyhow, 111kg clean and jerk attempt coming soon !

100kg clean and jerk

100kg Clean And Jerk. Had to destress after I began building a house and I built up to a 100kg clean and jerk. Wooden Elevated heels help a lot with force production 👍🏻

84 KG - 3 power cleans + 1 jerk

Hello people of the internet :),

I recently just got back into weightlifting (as a hobby) after a 1.5 year hiatus following a work related accident. Anyhow, I did some power cleans to warmup for my clean pull and 84kgs/185lbs felt good enough to where I could jerk it. I am not fully standing up with the bar as to not fatigue myself as I still have clean pull afterwards.

Feel free to butcher my technique !

Note - these are power cleans, not cleans or classic cleans.

If my grammar or punctuation is horrible, English is my second language.
