[dagummmdave]

This is the saddest thing I've ever seen. I want to cry. There are too many things to even list.

[DMxNemesis]

1. false grip, no thumbs used

2. grip way too wide

3. reverse curl

4. caught the weight with your wrist/hands

5. No hip drive/glute contraction, no pull with the traps, I don't think even legs were used

6. that's a push press

[crossfitborder]

Horrible

[MicrophoneAssassin13]

hilarious 

[tarns77]

pretty much everything here is wrong. why are you cleaning with a snatch grip, just for starters?

[billmellogmail]

Unforgivable bad information. Do not use this video as reference for anything. Do not waste your time watching this video.

[leahcimrac]

Yeah use a wide grip like that and tear a pec or injure your shouldder.

[misft0z]

Why would you do a suicide grip on that.

[BxNewman4]

most of it isnt awful advice, but whoever taught him his "cleaning" technique, i would have to argue that is more of a reverse curl

[SeveredRed]

First tip: wrong. It's wherever you can keep the bar as close to your body as possible, usually right up to the ankle!

[obi582]

did I just witness the impossible? no hook grip? was the gripped like you were benching?

I noticed he seemed uncomfortable like he didnt know what he was talking about.

[timscott2016]

WOW... this is just rediculous.... that wasnt even close to a clean and jerk... try a snatch-grip muscle clean to a press... this guy is downright ignorant and the sad thid is that there are people out there that are going to listen to this idiot

[guy17ify]

FAIL!

[Maximuslewin]

Thumbless grip!

[Blazerelf]

shame of those who puted like to this

[bmahy1]

to wide a grip, no acceleration of the ground, no explosive hip movement, and no jerk to speak of.

[mahan04]

r u serious dude??? i hope that people r not paying you to train them! what you just did was about .5% correct! GET A F_____G CLUE......

[taeyeon0]

lol is this how red necks work out? fukin hill billy doesnt know ****. don't watch this guys...

[MultiTrollHunter]

wrong.Wrong.WRong.WROng.WRONg.­WRONG!!!!

[slothnelson]

that is more like a half assed clean and press. this video helps no one. dont listen to anything going on here.

[UnboundOdysseus]

Worst. Form. Ever.

[DM0NEY09]

Horrible instructing!! very Dangerous exercise! legs to far apart .. hes using a snatch postions never ROTATE ur shoulders like THAT... Just gunna cause injuries! Horrbile Horrible Video. sorry but true

[ThePmull001]

i hope he gets sued for someone hurting themselves replicating this form

[dside43]

Is it okay to mark a video as inappropriate if the "expert" has no idea what he is talking about?

[traceur13]

DANGEROUS

[lordwolfz]

',Aaron Hill is a professional fitness and health instructor ''

professional LOLLLLLLL

[mmamilano]

what the hell was that

[trainer617]

Somebody pinch me. Tell me this guy is a fitness professional. Please those that are watching, this is how not to do a C&J. WTF is this guy smoking. Please tell him to find another profession. The next video he should put out is "how not to workout".

[mchong91]

dumbass

[venebi]

LOL. What!? LMAO!

[1theabstract1]

not to play devil's advocate, but explosive lifts involves using power. this is a terrible demonstration though. i'm no expert, but i've seen enough olympic lifting to know what a bad one looks like.

[okukok]

a clean and jerk isn't powerlifting, it's an olympic weightlifting move. powerlifting is squat/deadlift/bench. C&J requires large amounts of power. LOL worst demo of a C&J I've ever seen, it's nothing like it. it's more like a shit deadlift followed by a reverse curl then a military press. shocking!

[PowerChordProduction]

hahaha they should change the name to be "Bullshit clean & press" thats way closer than C&J

[goldtogreysmoke]

uh....er...uhhhh.uuhh

[HGthrower]

"A lift that involves brute power"? I thought it was an explosive lift ... terrible ... watching tutorials like this is how people get hurt. Thanks Mr. Expert.

[MrMiles2105]

This guy is an idiot who knows nothing about power lifting, other than what its called. dont watch you tube for this advise... get a strength coach..

[preynolds1]

How many high school freshmen have slipped discs and broken clavicles because of this idiot.

[marcoandcharlie]

that was aweful terrible form im wit wheelhouse15

[wheelhouse15]

Clean and Jerk? You've got to be kidding me. Looks more like a super set of poor dead lift, bad reverse curl, and horrible military press.

[mayonnaisehater13]

Nice form dude!

hahah

[joenobody13]

That's what happens when you get anatomy students who can pass a personal trainer certification exam without knowing how to lift.

[MarshfieldHockey22]

FacePalm.Jpg

[mafico]

Feels bad, man.

[Microbiologue]

I just pucked in my mouth.

Get UNDER the bar, elbows high, lose the grip. squat, regrip, PUSH press.

[sjclar00]

Douchenozzle

[rjelmaestro]

awful

[smmfa10]

ahahhahahahahahaha funniest thing ive seen all day ahhaha.. oh wow

[Eyeseen]

if expert village respect themselves, they will remove this video. ffs.

[bankdude20]

what a jackass. i like his "clean" that just looks like a reverse curl. i hate videos like this, people will use his so called technique trusting that its accurate and hurt themselves. way to go buddy you just created about a thousand bad backs.

[bodyzonetraining]

Oh dear!

That was just about as bad as your snatch. I am forced to the conclusion that you are pretty much a wannabee that has had his nose stuck to a real gym window 10 years ago and watched someone do a lift for about 2 seconds, and this is all you can remember and that is the sum of your education. Man you are incompetant, get some formal training or get your money back from the agency that trained you, before you hurt someone

[olympicfitness]

I have never seen anyone calling themself an exercise professional and be so useless!! Never mind put vids of themselves on the world's biggest video-sharing website for all to see.  Seriously, Fitness For Life need to review your contract and get proof of your qualifications as I would not let you train my dog, never mind a paying client!!!

[faithisallyouneed]

This guy obviously knows nothing about oly lifting. He's not even gripping the bar correctly.

[Davidmac08]

Looked like a reverse curl with a poorly performed shoulder press. Where is the clean and jerk?

[Alyion]

Well I see a clear Jerk......

[DarkISRbody]

you look like a pile of bones that never lift anything in his life but his boyfriend's penis up and down his throat.

kill urself.

[WestWythyJosh92]

lol was a poor attempt of a power clean followed by a press. it was not a clean and jerk

[dude520021]

hhhaaahahahaahhhhaaahhhaahhaaa­hhahahahahahhaaahhaaah!!!!

[zerk54]

I'm not very good at the lift either, but man that was crap.

[aleo26]

what the f*** is this shit???

[zodawg0079]

That was a snatch grip clean and press. And no hook grip... wtf?

[xxxbob3391]

First off his grip is way too wide. Also, that is not a jerk that is a push press.

[abcdefghijklmnopq420]

yeah agreed a jerk of a clean you do not take a break you immediately throw it up using your hips and legs what he is doing is a push press he is an idiot

[grambo919]

this dude does not know anything about weightlifting

[huthut91]

Good God...to think this guy is probably making a living teaching people this shit. Is there any other industry where people THIS clueless can pass themselves off as experts?

[OCMarine]

You forgot the part where you smash your head in with a dumbbell so you don't make anymore videos

[hage91]

that is just crap!

[Cubu47]

I believe that's called a snatch grip reverse curl push press from the ground.

[widvekz]

bump:

To any begginners watching: Find a Better Video, this is terrible "form" and you might hurt yourself if you listen to this guy!

[bdruckus]

[Ninja187Rules]

yes terible technique thankjs for your comment. do you know any good clean and jerk tutorials?

[joubinho999]

things wrong with this video you 1.you talk too much 2. you aint got a clue what your doing. 3. you cant even perform a bloody squat 4. your squat has to be much much lower than your so called 90 degrees 5. when you approach the bar for clean your hands are to wide. 6. your clean was complety wrong 7. your jerk was completly wrong 8. you clean and jeark were completly wrong. and ive seen your snatch video o my god are u serious whats wrong with u r u retar**d fix up and stop showin wrong demonst

[MilitaryCoreBodyFit]

It looks like #95 and he can barely REVERSE CURL AND KIND OF SHOULDER PRESS the bar over head. This is not a clean and jerk. Get a USAW Coach.

[Sikakoira]

I need to unsee this. Oh. My. God.

[rjvsmb]

I'm speechless.

[Veritta87]

wow... I just died a little on the inside... ... douchebag.

[zodawg0079]

Epic fail

[guynamedtroy]

Use this as an example for what not to do.

[roymitchel1]

HAHAHAHAHA.  Idiot.

[AIveoIus]

If you're trying to learn the Clean & Jerk, first of all, don't watch a video to learn it, get a coach because you can really fuck up with it. Form is key with a clean and Jerk. Especially don't watch this dumbass.

[llronald121]

To any begginners watching: Find a Better Video, this is terrible "form" and you might hurt yourself if you listen to this guy!

[omgwtfitssteve]

this fag's legs are thinner than the bar. horrible

[freeride88]

Absolutely horrible. Is there some way enough people can vote to have this video removed?

[dblaszczyk]

This might be the most awful lifting tutorial I have ever seen. Please get a different job because you are a horrible trainer. Maybe this is a joke?

[erict123]

Wow this is awful advice. Wrong on all counts there buddy, I feel sorry for those you train.

[saikonate]

I can't even do a clean and jerk and even I know this is terrible.

[darwish7]

You must not be serious. This has NO RELATION whatever to the clean and jerk.

- You're not doing a clean, you're doing a reverse curl.

- You're not doing a jerk, you're doing a 'press'.

Any knowledgeable coach would like to slam your face if he saw this. Please learn first, then teach.

[Sempertacsil]

@darwish7 A) If you think this is the worst form, you must be new. You should get out more often.

B) Yes, he's a wee-bit doing a 'press'. He's not perfect, wow. I do the same thing, especially with light weights. Hell of a difficult habit to break. Maybe you should sue someone or ask YouTube for your money back.

C) Many(most actually) coaches teach a flat-footed clean unless you're a competitor.

D) You've contributed nothing yourself that I can see

[patryklau]

@Sempertacsil worst form? maybe not. but being labelled as a professional and a supposed expert? That's where I have a problem. The clean and jerk is an explosive lift, and there is almost no sign of that in his example. A supposed fitness professional should know better. AND if he is not properly certified to teach weightlifting exercises, he should not be agreeing to do these types of videos for expertvillage which usually produce really bad instructional videos in the first place.

[grambo22]

Why does expert village exist. Every single video on every single topic is wrong.

This video is a joke.

[shawntheless]

No, that is not the Clean & Jerk. Coach Burgener would have a hemmoraghic stroke if he saw this. Please, if anyone out there is trying to learn this lift, do not do one thing like he did. Absolutely amazing...

[rootskier]

This is the funniest thing I've see all week.

[svefnleysi]

I really don't know how to rate this video... I mean it's awesome if it's supposed to be a joke. Horrible if the guy is actually serious.

[rhorn18]

Charging the camera battery to record that was a waste of electricity.

[trance4mation]

LOL look at his stance and grip, thought he was gonna snatch it, even high school football morons have better form then this guy

[aircooledTOM]

There certainly was a jerk in that video... and I'm definitely not talking about the movement. Wow.... Absolutely rediculous.

[NBSFighter]

What a tool

[timdonahey]

if this is expert village he must be the expert village idiot.

[timdonahey]

what the fuck was that?!  I'll tell you what it wasn't, it wasn't a clean nor was it a jerk...

[jazz0612]

This HAS to be a joke.

[maniacut]

fking lol

[Thega720]

'tips from an experienced personal trainer' That's the problem right there!

[joe1983smith]

Mark Rippetoe, author of "Starting strength" has this to say: "This is absolutely amazing. There is quite literally no single thing here done correctly".

[amebix138]

oh lawd.

[drewfasa]

That definitely was not a clean and jerk.

[66i]

There's a special place in hell reserved for this guy.

[pedanticmofo]

And what the hell is with the thumbless grip for the reverse curl? Is he trying to drop the bar on his ignorant ass?

[Beefieboy14]

I think i just vomited a little in my mouth after watching that

[Mattvallo]

this is awful. seriously what is this?

[joe1983smith]

haha i know! the vid really annoys me! if my oly lifting coach saw me lift like that he would give me a slap! his form is laughable!

[joe1983smith]

nope its a reverse curl and a barbell press

[Xplodz]

Are you shitting me? Try reverse curling a 300 pound barbell then pressing it and tell me that's how a C&J works.

[joe1983smith]

well the guy on the video even says "and press" he doesnt jerk the bar and the "clean" has no jump and shrug, with no whipping the elbows around, look a some other clean and jerk vids and look at the differences. plus that bars about 80lbs not 300lbs.......im not saying a clean and jerk is a curl and press, far from it, im saying this guy in this video is not doing a clean and jerk.

[Xplodz]

Oh I didn't know you meant it that way sorry lol.

[joe1983smith]

no probs mate, i just dont like the fact hes instructing beginners on something he cant do. if people want good oly lifting vids search for mike burgener or look on the crossfit site. mike is a u.s oly coach

[rootskier]

I am pretty sure that is a women's bar...so I am gonna call it about 40 pounds overall.

[slalom987654321]

he is kinda showing u a lighter weight. but what ur gonna do when u pick it up past ur knees ur gonna bring it up and jump. into an athletic position and get under it so its not like a reverse barbell curl.

[joe1983smith]

yep i am an oly lifter, what im saying is THE GUY IN THIS VIDEO is doing a reverse curl he is not doing a clean and jerk, his form is laughable. even demonstrating with an empty bar his form should be correct. i understand how a clean works, it is the guy in the video that doesnt.

[TheEstonianGuy]

Second! Still, thanks.

It actually helped. Half the other vids didn't help at all.

[DrewSkate111]
