Just now seeing this! There are several things I love about this video: 1) We get to see Olympic-level form and execution from Pope. 2) We get to see a complete novice working their way up to the full execution. 3) We get to see all of the tries and retries and more retries it takes to get the moves right. 4) We have a coach who is not there to stroke the ego, but just to get the novice to focus on perfect form and execution. 5) MEG.KEEPS.TRYING! She keeps taking all of the advice in stride, always with poise and positive self-talk. I could watch this video 100 more times and be way better off than I am when I watch 99% of the ego-stroking crap on lifting available online. Bravo ladies, and I enjoy Max's disciplined approach to coaching. I love seeing form videos with women in them - please keep posting content like this - it helps so many people!

I dig her affirmations to herself. "I can do this!" Seems like a very positive individual.

it so frustrating learning the complex lifts for the first time. I'm glad everybody concerned showed patience.

i like that max doesn't care about being the most polite person out there and just corrects whenever she needs correcting. road to execellency.

I truly appreciate seeing some strong AF women in these training videos, because usually I’m seeing men. I’m showing these videos to my daughter, and she loves seeing you both as well. It’s great seeing a beginner and a pro in the same video! Thank you to all!

Her coachability and attitude are absolutely outstanding. What a great, great attitude and approach to learning anything.

I stayed up until nearly one AM in my living room practicing this in front of my laptop. Metcon shoes and boxer shorts, trying to get that hip pop right.

Great video. It's hard to find instructional videos where the person being taught is strong and coordinated but hasn't actually done the movement before. I have been having a lot of similar problems getting my timing down, etc. and seeing Meg work through that stuff was super helpful.

Thank y'all so much for this video. It's so helpful to see not just how to do it, but a beginner learn how not to do this as well. The explicit, detailed, focused, and meaningful instruction is equally important. I really can't overstate how useful this is as a novice without resources for a dedicated coach. It's also amazing that you're willing to provide this freely on KZfaq, it's a boon to the lifting community as a whole to have quality, accessible instruction to ensure people don't get hurt. Again, thank you.

Yes! finally! I've been waiting for this ever since the snatch video. That one has helped me so much with hitting the positions. Thanks, guys!

I love meg's energy! I would love to see more of her on jts more 😍

Finally!! You guys helped me out so much with the snatch equivalent of this video. Both were extremely helpful and helped me notice a lot of minute details that I didn't realize were so important. Thank you!

I've watched two of these so far and I'm really impressed with the coaching. I'll be coming back again and again.

The snatch video with Meg helped me a lot on keeping the bar closer, I'm so happy you posted this one! Thanks JTS!

As someone new to weightlifting, this video has been helpful. I'm 55, and the last thing I need is to learn something the wrong way...recovery process from injury is too darn slow...so, the details in this video are a huge help! Thanks!!!

I just really appreciate watching someone get coached like this, and appreciate Meg's persistence and talking through it. Great video for medium beginners like me. Thanks for this!

Great no nonsense coaching, just shows what you can learn in a short space of time and more importantly how to the technique prevents injury as you progress through the weight.

"It's gonna cut off your circulations you're.... If you're into that sort of thing then go a... go for it." bruh...

I learned so much by watching her work through the process of learning. Being a beginner is so much fun with the right type of coach. He was patient and helped her minimize mistakes little by little.

Great coaching session! In my 4th month in Crossfit. I followed the whole session with my PVC pipe. According to WODIFY we're doing this in the morning in our Metcon. Because of you guys I feel won'f feel as awkward and lost as i normally do. A big THANKS to all 3 of you! ;-)

I like how Max has these simple and easy to understand drills that teach you so much. I've been doing it wrong all along

So happy to have found this video with Meg! Super inspired, will watch this again and again until I nail it! Thanks for the great video!!!

Love this video. Prolly the best beginner video for the clean I have seen by far and of course has amazing women in the video!!

Love it! I am a beginner/intermediate weight trainer but I am very interested in CrossFit lifting techniques and these videos with Meg have been SUPER helpful in form correction/training! Keep em coming please!

This is a move I've really struggled with. Great video!! Thanks!!

Thanks, much appreciated! Was at a short beginners course yesterday in Clean & Jerk so this is awesome.

This is awesome! Thank you, MegSquats and crew!!!!!!

Thanks a lot for this video. It seems that there aren't many detailed guides about this on youtube. This video really helps a lot and clears some easy mistakes that you can do as a beginner.

Thank you!! I'll be watching this video a lot! Greats from Brazil!

I've not long started to learn C&J. Thanks so much this video was just what I needed! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bravo and thank you. I'm self coaching and have been troubled in the second pull. Your vids have helped me discern a duo of problems...not keeping bar close and throwing my hips, ever so subtle, forward. Thanks again!

Yes please! So much info. I learned a lot! Thx JTS. Love the clean prep. I will do it all the time

Thank you!! I'll be watching this video a lot!

Love your attitude when you don’t hit it perfectly! You did awesome! 💛

And watched again, I reallly love this and the snatch video. Thank you!

Amazing. He made her do that clean more than 20 times. Amazing coach. Meg kudos to you such a positive attitude. Its gonna be very helpful to people who are going to try this and make the same mistakes. This video shows that even a professional like Meg needs practice and confidence to master this. Keep grinding guys

The wealth of knowledge Max has and how he presents it is just amazing wow

This video is so useful. What's great about it is that you can just follow along yourself, sort of like getting a free lesson (minus someone there to critique your form obviously). Somehow it just feels easier to get the cues into my head than a short video on form cues.

Just getting into weight lifting... this video was very helpful! Thank you!!!!

This was SO incredibly helpful!! The breakdown, repetitiveness, and correction are exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for these videos!

Awesome tutorial! Looking forward to seeing my clean and jerks improve.

So Much Awesomeness!!! Great Progressions Throughout The Video And Top Notch Coaching.

thank you guys and you're awesome . I can watch you all day long and never have a sense of boredom ☺️.

Love this break down on the technique probably best I've seen yet

I watched this all the way thru. I appreciate the queues.

Amzing! I was lifter In college ... forgot all now days inspired after seeing this and back to lifting ❤️❤️❤️

I've really been struggling with the technique for this exercise, and there just isn't enough time with the trainer to cover all of the intricacies to a novice like me. This video is extremely helpful, thank you so much for sharing.

Fantastic. I love the demonstration with the beginner and then with the expert. Thats how I understand the correct movement better.

Always great content.Instruction is top notch!

Best instructional video I’ve found for this lift! Thanks for sharing. Pope is a beast 💪🏽.

Meg I really appreciate hearing you say often in this tutorial, “I can do it!” I’m new to this sport and the explosive timing of the contract with the clean is intimidating. You helped to reflect on my own chatter during this process. I going in tomorrow and hope to change of the chatter to a more positive tone! Thanks to all three of you for such a helpful tutorial.

I’ve gotten tired of just body building and have wanted to move into more CrossFit style workouts. These videos have helped SO MUCH.

Its brilliant seeing proper technique from a world class lifter. We can all see where we need to go to improve.

This coach is awesome. Excellent teaching techniques.

Great teaching, really informative. Cool and calm 👍🏼

The best Clean and Jerk video i have ever come across.

I am learning myself and thought there was a lot of really great information in this video. I feel like the drills are going to help me a lot with both form and technique.

Two great videos! Kris, Max and the JTS are my favourites. Their vids have fuelled my recent take up of Olympic lifting. Would love to see the instruction and training of the various component parts.

I love seeing Meg across my multiple subscriptions. The more Meg the better .

This is good to see for the upcoming Olympics. Now I know what to look for when the athletes are performing this exercise in competition.

Exactly what I was looking for. Cheers!

The thing that made the biggest difference to me was realizing that I shouldnt pull it off the floor like a deadlift. The bar should be further away from you that it would during a deadlift. That way it's much easier to bounce it off of your legs.

Meg is adorable and Max is a great teacher. Nice work by Kristin, too. Great video! 💪

Found this very informative and helpful, definitely will use these tips in the box.

Educational. I luve it! I struggle with the clean, I'll try these instructions.

Well done guys , I find it very interesting, as well as educational. Thank you.

When she says I can do this, my heart melts.

Love these two ladies. Nice tutorial.

So helpful megs..she is great students and follower..of her passion

Love the vid! Good stuff for a rookie clean&jerker

Meg inspires me to keep watching 🥰😍

this video really helps a lot! thanks!!

This is gold. Awsome video!

Loving these 'beginner videos' guys! Really helpful!

This vid was very informative and helpful!

Best clean and jerk tutorial that I have ever seen, thank you so much for this invaluable content!

This is an awesome video !!! It's a complex move, no doubt. But, great to see a pro, a coach and a novice doing it together.. Bookmarked and subscribed.

Love it! really thorough!

Although, this is very informative and does help a lot so much appreciated!🙌🏼

Great job. I'll try to apply this next time I'm at the gym.

Great explanation, thank you so much! Very detailed explained and so nice "Perfomers" :)

Yes! Love it! I learned a lot from this video.

Great video. So good to see someone learning. Making all the mistakes I make

This was a great video and guide!

I found this so helpful learning at the same time as a beginner, as I was making all the same mistakes. Great video and tweaking points

Thanks for this video! It's a big help! 🤘🏼

Amazing video! I am practicing this. It's a lot harder than you make it look!

Personality with real content. I'm in!

I'm pleased to see that no one made any jokes about women being good at cleaning.

Such an awesome video. I have no attention span and I sat through the entire video, the coaching was so concise and helpful and it was so insightful to see the improvement of each rep. Great content!

one of the best explanations! thanks!

This is awesome and I Love Meg's I can do it affirmations!

Although I haven't been to the gym after viewing this. I definitely feel more confident doing a clean.

Still the best clean and jerk tutorial on KZfaq!!!

Absolutely love the girls constant self assurance.

The woman is a great learner for the vid. Not just because she is a great listener to constructive criticism but because she is already fit. She can handle the weight, this vid is pure about technique. I couldnt do alot just because of mobility so i know where to start but for someone to have the strenght, mobility and "fit level" still strugle with this is the perfect example. And dont get me started with the other girl. She perfectly describes what is possible with way better form while being the same "ish" weight and hight (and gender most important). Much love and im definitely subscribed

I can't focus on the video because of those damn loose plates..

Thanks a lot for this video very instructive !

That's great instruction.Thanks
