Here’s a video of a great clean and jerk from the Midwestern State University Strength Research Laboratory: http://www.mwsu.edu/~physed/hhptl/weights/cleanandjerk.avi
Does your clean reach the maximum extension point? Legs and hips fully extended, chest lifted skyward, and shoulders up by the ears, the maximum extension point is reached before the arms have bent at all. Videotape your clean and if this point is missed or the arms bend even a little before the hips and legs are extended your clean is weak.
