Talk:Clean and jerk

Bias
I feel this article has a bias in it, as it completely disregards powerlifting in the following sentence: "When strength coaches and weightlifting coaches refer to weightlifting, they are speaking about either the snatch or clean and jerk and a large variety of ballistic movements associated with them. All other resistance training is weight training or bodybuilding." Maybe a less biased edit is in order? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.53.135.148 (talk • contribs) 02:44, 24 July 2006‎
 * Agreed. I removed the two sentences making that claim. The claim isn't that necessary for the article--if correct, it should be in the Weightlifting article (which it is at the time I'm writing this).MrVibrating 22:21, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Animation, video, or images needed
I think it would be a much better article if we could get a video of the lift. Also, a less biased version while maintaining that a lift based on moving a weight with speed (Olympic) versus lifting one where the weight can be moved as slowly as you want (like say, Bench Press or Squat) has an advantage in that it trains a person to move with speed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.235.65.21 (talk • contribs) 01:22, 25 June 2007
 * I agree with the need for a visual description. Someone without in-depth knowledge of weightlifting or anatomical terminology would be completely confused by the description. -- Echoback (talk) 17:06, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Clean phase description
I think an expert needs to take a look at this. From what I've found, a deliberate triple-extension and an exaggerated shrug are both currently discouraged. I don't have a citable source handy, so I'm holding off on editing it now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by A.Nath (talk • contribs) 10:25, 20 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I think that the Power clean should have a separate page and not a redirect. It is an important lift that is distinctly different.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinchinzu (talk • contribs) 05:45, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with this. The power clean is a notable (common in training programs for many different athletes) distinct lift from the clean and jerk.--Stvfetterly (talk) 21:51, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

One arm
Antonio Cesaro does a 1-arm version with 135 pounds, can we have a section describing the single arm variations of this? 64.228.89.137 (talk) 21:18, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Clean types
There is clean called straight clean http://liftbigeatbig.com/training-with-axles/ and full clean. The latter could be power clean. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.149.62.133 (talk) 12:09, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

"World Standard"
What does it mean when a record is held by "World Standard"? There's no explanation.
