    This is my first time doing the clean and I'm still learning. I think my form needs a lot of work. Here's the video:

    Not too awful for just learning. I'd consider doing some from the jumping/power position (bar on thigh) when you're just learning. Get right to that take off point, weight on your heels, shoulders over the bar and get the feeling of that triple extension. Main focus should be on getting the hips violently extended. (If you extend the hips fully, knees and elbows will follow through.)

    Here's what I'd focus on:
    1. Weight on heels
    2. Hips through
    3. Land with torso straight (no lean back, you will have to bend the knees a bit more and pull yourself under the bar.)
