Marcin Dolega - Clean and Jerk


Comes up his toes quite early as a result/cause of a more inclined torso at the power position. His hip movement is very upwards, so even though he throws his hips into the bar a little there is minimal outward travel on the bar. No real triple extension to speak of, the upwards movement coming from the hips means less need to shrug the bar up as the bar height is already present so he can pull under and use the force of his hips and the bar meeting to shoot his hips back down again. Very outwardly angled feet and vertical head position (similar to a lot of Chinese lifters out of the hole).
