Yes..don't do them. For a supposed trainer you should know this. You know, too much external rotation, possible cervical impingement. I'm sure you understand :-X

Your technique is fine...but don't do them. Jerks are done from in front not back. See progressions and sequence. Ironic this subject came uptwice in the same day.

I know...but unfortunately I can't do the clean and jerk... I tried many times and I just can't bend my arms like that...

I'm not sure Steve is a real trainer. I think he is more the type that trains middle-aged single men that like to be supervised by a swole pro.
