Then the Viking helped me troubleshoot my jerk because that jerk didn't feel so good. My upper arms are supposed to be at about a 45 degree angle with respect to my torso instead of the 90 I tend to shoot for when I do cleans and front squats.

Clean and Jerk - Elbow Edition
My elbows tend to be a little too high when I set up for my jerk because I like to get my elbows as high as possible when I catch my cleans and do my front squats. Unfortunately, starting with extremely high elbows takes away a lot of the power I have to do a proper jerk because the power is really coming from my shoulders and chest pushing up, and my arms are just going for the ride.
