Remember,
For the FULL SQUAT CLEAN…
-First pull (off the floor) is the speed of a deadlift
-2nd pull, when you make contact with mid-thigh (contact point), EXPLOSIVELY open the hips, keep arms straight
-After shrug, pull your body under the bar (FAST!).  Hit the bottom of the front squat as quick as you can!
-Turn the elbows over QUICK!  And get the elbows HIGH!
-DRIVE KNEES OUT when you stand up in the front squat

For the Jerk, we will use split jerk.  Funny how we worked that technique on Friday, hmmmmm?
-Get set, take in a BIG breath, this will help keep your chest high
-Dip, Drive, Press, and drop into split
-To ensure a solid landing, get your head through, weight right over scapulas (shoulder blades)
-Stand up all the way before putting the weight down
