What is the "clean and jerk"?

The clean and jerk is a two-part weightlifting movement. The first part, the clean, involves lifting the barbell from the ground to the shoulders in one smooth motion, usually with a quick dip under the bar. The second part, the jerk, follows immediately, where the lifter uses their legs and arms to push the barbell overhead in a quick, explosive movement. The clean and jerk is one of the two Olympic weightlifting lifts, and it requires strength, speed, technique, and coordination. It is commonly used in competitions to test overall power and lifting ability.
