Good thing my girlfriend sees me do my lifts and i show her my bruises right away, she just laughs at me but we'll see how well she does after a few weeks of learning the clean.

I think I may be doing the butt wink at the bottom, slightly at least.

Cambium, I think that's pretty good form overall. One note is that you shouldn't look up so much when you pull, and also, over time, you'll want to develop a little bit more of an aggressive second pull. I don't really see the double knee bend either, but I'm not sure how to correct this.

I didn't pull very hard because it was really light weight, but I definitely see what you are saying! I should be looking straight ahead?

What does "double knee bend" mean?

How about the butt wink (the part where my butt almost goes under my hips) and the little hop?

Ah, I got it. I just want to make sure that you are aggressive and strong in your second pull.

Here's an article about the double knee bend:

http://www.waxmansgym.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=34:the-double-knee-bend-in-olympic-weightlifting&catid=3:strength-training-blog&Itemid=17

It occurs when you transition from the first to the second pull. Its existence is not really to be aimed for, but an indication that your body is in the correct position for the violent extension of the hips. Here's a video where you can see Dimas doing it quite clearly:



Yours isn't exactly bad by any stretch of the imagination, but I'd like to see your knees come forward a bit more at the beginning of the second pull.

As for your "butt wink," I wouldn't worry about it. You seem to be keeping a fine back position on the recovery.

did you read the op and do everything it says?
I recommend watching the calstr/pendlay videos on how to clean and read some of the many links in the op
Also, post a video of yourself so we can see whats wrong

Not nearly enough information to give you any sort of help.

So haven't done any snatches since April because of my knee. Lately it's gotten a lot better so decided to do some snatching and see how it felt. I had forgotten how much fun snatching is, damn. Olympic lifting really is the most fun way to lift weights.

Got a little carried away, so snatched up to 75 kg (around BW and 10 kg below PR). Good thing was that my knee didn't bother me, and I don't think it will bother me tomorrow either yay. Stability and technique lacked a bit after the long layoff, but it felt very easy nonetheless.
Once I know my knee is 100% I don't think it will take long before I snatch 90 kg for a new PR :-D

It was an old injury from running that flared up again due to training several times when I could feel my knee getting worse. The patella tendon then swelled up just where it attaches to the tibia. Went to a physiotherapist, but after doing the prescribed exercises for 2 months I realized it only made it worse. Then a long period of not squatting followed as I was afraid it would happen again (in the beginning of this injury period it swelled just by standing lol?)

But yeah, it's getting better and better now. Hope it will be back to 100% in the next 1-2 months so I can get back to some oly lifting for real :-D

Was supposed to do DL today, but couldn't keep myself away from doing cleans.

I had my first fail today, at only 60 kg. I pulled too hard and the bar just slammed into me lol, epic fail.
