Just now seeing this! There are several things I love about this video: 1) We get to see Olympic-level form and execution from Pope. 2) We get to see a complete novice working their way up to the full execution. 3) We get to see all of the tries and retries and more retries it takes to get the moves right. 4) We have a coach who is not there to stroke the ego, but just to get the novice to focus on perfect form and execution. 5) MEG.KEEPS.TRYING! She keeps taking all of the advice in stride, always with poise and positive self-talk. I could watch this video 100 more times and be way better off than I am when I watch 99% of the ego-stroking crap on lifting available online. Bravo ladies, and I enjoy Max's disciplined approach to coaching. I love seeing form videos with women in them - please keep posting content like this - it helps so many people!
You were on point with everything. I was watching this vid with much joy and your comment summarized it perfectly. But to point 5, that is it what made the vid. Ofcourse you need someone who knows what they're saying but someone who keeps trying is the most important part. Much love❤
Yes honestly. That was fantastic. The greatest thing I took from this video was even a professional like Meg needs practice to master the technique. I'm gonna go at gym today and practice this. Wish me luck
I truly appreciate seeing some strong AF women in these training videos, because usually I’m seeing men. I’m showing these videos to my daughter, and she loves seeing you both as well. It’s great seeing a beginner and a pro in the same video! Thank you to all!
Just be aware a lot of these chicks are on gear. Squats is natty but Pope is juicing here. I know your comment is several years old but SARMS and other PEDs are rampant within the fitness community, if you see a woman sporting a physique that would make men jealous, especially across the shoulders, the odds of her being natural are close to zero. If your daughter never gets big and muscly like that it's not because she isn't good enough, it's because these fake natties are giving people a bad idea of what is naturally achievable.
Thank y'all so much for this video. It's so helpful to see not just how to do it, but a beginner learn how not to do this as well. The explicit, detailed, focused, and meaningful instruction is equally important. I really can't overstate how useful this is as a novice without resources for a dedicated coach. It's also amazing that you're willing to provide this freely on CZcams, it's a boon to the lifting community as a whole to have quality, accessible instruction to ensure people don't get hurt. Again, thank you.
Great video. It's hard to find instructional videos where the person being taught is strong and coordinated but hasn't actually done the movement before. I have been having a lot of similar problems getting my timing down, etc. and seeing Meg work through that stuff was super helpful.
I just really appreciate watching someone get coached like this, and appreciate Meg's persistence and talking through it. Great video for medium beginners like me. Thanks for this!
Finally!! You guys helped me out so much with the snatch equivalent of this video. Both were extremely helpful and helped me notice a lot of minute details that I didn't realize were so important. Thank you!
Great no nonsense coaching, just shows what you can learn in a short space of time and more importantly how to the technique prevents injury as you progress through the weight.
I learned so much by watching her work through the process of learning. Being a beginner is so much fun with the right type of coach. He was patient and helped her minimize mistakes little by little.
Great coaching session! In my 4th month in Crossfit. I followed the whole session with my PVC pipe. According to WODIFY we're doing this in the morning in our Metcon. Because of you guys I feel won'f feel as awkward and lost as i normally do. A big THANKS to all 3 of you! ;-)
I stayed up until nearly one AM in my living room practicing this in front of my laptop. Metcon shoes and boxer shorts, trying to get that hip pop right.
As someone new to weightlifting, this video has been helpful. I'm 55, and the last thing I need is to learn something the wrong way...recovery process from injury is too darn slow...so, the details in this video are a huge help! Thanks!!!
Love it! I am a beginner/intermediate weight trainer but I am very interested in CrossFit lifting techniques and these videos with Meg have been SUPER helpful in form correction/training! Keep em coming please!
Bravo and thank you. I'm self coaching and have been troubled in the second pull. Your vids have helped me discern a duo of problems...not keeping bar close and throwing my hips, ever so subtle, forward. Thanks again!
Thanks a lot for this video. It seems that there aren't many detailed guides about this on youtube. This video really helps a lot and clears some easy mistakes that you can do as a beginner.
Amazing. He made her do that clean more than 20 times. Amazing coach. Meg kudos to you such a positive attitude. Its gonna be very helpful to people who are going to try this and make the same mistakes. This video shows that even a professional like Meg needs practice and confidence to master this. Keep grinding guys
This video is so useful. What's great about it is that you can just follow along yourself, sort of like getting a free lesson (minus someone there to critique your form obviously). Somehow it just feels easier to get the cues into my head than a short video on form cues.
I've really been struggling with the technique for this exercise, and there just isn't enough time with the trainer to cover all of the intricacies to a novice like me. This video is extremely helpful, thank you so much for sharing.
Meg I really appreciate hearing you say often in this tutorial, “I can do it!” I’m new to this sport and the explosive timing of the contract with the clean is intimidating. You helped to reflect on my own chatter during this process. I going in tomorrow and hope to change of the chatter to a more positive tone! Thanks to all three of you for such a helpful tutorial.
I am learning myself and thought there was a lot of really great information in this video. I feel like the drills are going to help me a lot with both form and technique.
Two great videos! Kris, Max and the JTS are my favourites. Their vids have fuelled my recent take up of Olympic lifting. Would love to see the instruction and training of the various component parts.
i use to do clean and jerks at high school and at home but i never knew what i was doing , after watching this i kind of know now the reason i put my back out and how to finally do it correctly ...thanks huge , giant thanks to the coach and megs and the coaches assistant.
The woman is a great learner for the vid. Not just because she is a great listener to constructive criticism but because she is already fit. She can handle the weight, this vid is pure about technique. I couldnt do alot just because of mobility so i know where to start but for someone to have the strenght, mobility and "fit level" still strugle with this is the perfect example. And dont get me started with the other girl. She perfectly describes what is possible with way better form while being the same "ish" weight and hight (and gender most important). Much love and im definitely subscribed
The thing that made the biggest difference to me was realizing that I shouldnt pull it off the floor like a deadlift. The bar should be further away from you that it would during a deadlift. That way it's much easier to bounce it off of your legs.
Such an awesome video. I have no attention span and I sat through the entire video, the coaching was so concise and helpful and it was so insightful to see the improvement of each rep. Great content!
i'd like to thanks of this video. I've spent my free times at work tryng to pay attention, on doubts i turned it back, today i finished the video but yesterday i had a better class in order this. My pretty thanks to you tree.

Much love❤
The novice was doing it well enough every time. The coach was annoying
I dig her affirmations to herself. "I can do this!" Seems like a very positive individual.
love your sense of perception
That's what her channel is mainly about
Strong Strong & Positive
This is not set all for negative individuals
Those affirmations wouldn't work for me, because I know that the truth is that I don't know if I can do it until I try.
Yes honestly. That was fantastic. The greatest thing I took from this video was even a professional like Meg needs practice to master the technique. I'm gonna go at gym today and practice this. Wish me luck
it so frustrating learning the complex lifts for the first time. I'm glad everybody concerned showed patience.
Her coachability and attitude are absolutely outstanding. What a great, great attitude and approach to learning anything.
But his attitude sucks.
i like that max doesn't care about being the most polite person out there and just corrects whenever she needs correcting. road to execellency.
But also as a good coach he doesn't go on about what she did wrong, but what she needs to do on the next effort to improve.
Chad is the big hearty presence on this channel
But Max is an even bigger deal in terms of coaching
Most down to earth coach out there
I wish my coach was like that
Assertiveness
Puper tennec
I truly appreciate seeing some strong AF women in these training videos, because usually I’m seeing men. I’m showing these videos to my daughter, and she loves seeing you both as well. It’s great seeing a beginner and a pro in the same video! Thank you to all!
Yes! So do I!

Just be aware a lot of these chicks are on gear. Squats is natty but Pope is juicing here.

Yes! finally! I've been waiting for this ever since the snatch video. That one has helped me so much with hitting the positions. Thanks, guys!
I just really appreciate watching someone get coached like this, and appreciate Meg's persistence and talking through it. Great video for medium beginners like me. Thanks for this!
Finally!! You guys helped me out so much with the snatch equivalent of this video. Both were extremely helpful and helped me notice a lot of minute details that I didn't realize were so important. Thank you!
I've watched two of these so far and I'm really impressed with the coaching. I'll be coming back again and again.

I learned so much by watching her work through the process of learning. Being a beginner is so much fun with the right type of coach. He was patient and helped her minimize mistakes little by little.
The snatch video with Meg helped me a lot on keeping the bar closer, I'm so happy you posted this one! Thanks JTS!
I love meg's energy! I would love to see more of her on jts more 😍
Pope was better 😅
I like how Max has these simple and easy to understand drills that teach you so much. I've been doing it wrong all along

I stayed up until nearly one AM in my living room practicing this in front of my laptop. Metcon shoes and boxer shorts, trying to get that hip pop right.
I am sure by now you must be perfect at this :)
its all in the hip flexors, core and lower back support
Weightlifting tryouts for me I’m a slow learner and today reminded me 😭☠️
As someone new to weightlifting, this video has been helpful. I'm 55, and the last thing I need is to learn something the wrong way...recovery process from injury is too darn slow...so, the details in this video are a huge help! Thanks!!!
Glad you liked it. Make sure to check out this video for Masters Lifters (Over 35 years old) too: czcams.com/video/34Zj3lem3fQ/video.html
So happy to have found this video with Meg! Super inspired, will watch this again and again until I nail it! Thanks for the great video!!!
Love it! I am a beginner/intermediate weight trainer but I am very interested in CrossFit lifting techniques and these videos with Meg have been SUPER helpful in form correction/training! Keep em coming please!
Thank you!! I'll be watching this video a lot!
I see what you "did" there
Bravo and thank you. I'm self coaching and have been troubled in the second pull. Your vids have helped me discern a duo of problems...not keeping bar close and throwing my hips, ever so subtle, forward. Thanks again!
Love this video. Prolly the best beginner video for the clean I have seen by far and of course has amazing women in the video!!
Thanks, much appreciated! Was at a short beginners course yesterday in
Clean & Jerk so this is awesome.
Thanks a lot for this video. It seems that there aren't many detailed guides about this on youtube. This video really helps a lot and clears some easy mistakes that you can do as a beginner.
This is awesome! Thank you, MegSquats and crew!!!!!!
The wealth of knowledge Max has and how he presents it is just amazing wow
Love your attitude when you don’t hit it perfectly! You did awesome! 💛
I've not long started to learn C&J. Thanks so much this video was just what I needed! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing. He made her do that clean more than 20 times. Amazing coach. Meg kudos to you such a positive attitude. Its gonna be very helpful to people who are going to try this and make the same mistakes. This video shows that even a professional like Meg needs practice and confidence to master this. Keep grinding guys
This is a move I've really struggled with. Great video!! Thanks!!
This video is so useful. What's great about it is that you can just follow along yourself, sort of like getting a free lesson (minus someone there to critique your form obviously). Somehow it just feels easier to get the cues into my head than a short video on form cues.
This was SO incredibly helpful!! The breakdown, repetitiveness, and correction are exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for these videos!
Thank you!! I'll be watching this video a lot! Greats from Brazil!
I've really been struggling with the technique for this exercise, and there just isn't enough time with the trainer to cover all of the intricacies to a novice like me. This video is extremely helpful, thank you so much for sharing.
💯💯💯
Just getting into weight lifting... this video was very helpful! Thank you!!!!
And watched again, I reallly love this and the snatch video. Thank you!
Meg I really appreciate hearing you say often in this tutorial, “I can do it!” I’m new to this sport and the explosive timing of the contract with the clean is intimidating. You helped to reflect on my own chatter during this process. I going in tomorrow and hope to change of the chatter to a more positive tone!
Thanks to all three of you for such a helpful tutorial.
Yes please! So much info. I learned a lot! Thx JTS. Love the clean prep. I will do it all the time
I’ve gotten tired of just body building and have wanted to move into more CrossFit style workouts. These videos have helped SO MUCH.
Amzing! I was lifter In college ... forgot all now days inspired after seeing this and back to lifting ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic. I love the demonstration with the beginner and then with the expert. Thats how I understand the correct movement better.
The best Clean and Jerk video i have ever come across.
Love this break down on the technique probably best I've seen yet
I watched this all the way thru. I appreciate the queues.
Awesome tutorial! Looking forward to seeing my clean and jerks improve.
So Much Awesomeness!!!
Great Progressions Throughout The Video And Top Notch Coaching.

thank you guys and you're awesome . I can watch you all day long and never have a sense of boredom ☺️.
I am learning myself and thought there was a lot of really great information in this video. I feel like the drills are going to help me a lot with both form and technique.
Best instructional video I’ve found for this lift! Thanks for sharing. Pope is a beast 💪🏽.
Always great content.Instruction is top notch!
Its brilliant seeing proper technique from a world class lifter. We can all see where we need to go to improve.
This coach is awesome. Excellent teaching techniques.
Two great videos! Kris, Max and the JTS are my favourites. Their vids have fuelled my recent take up of Olympic lifting. Would love to see the instruction and training of the various component parts.
i use to do clean and jerks at high school and at home but i never knew what i was doing , after watching this i kind of know now the reason i put my back out and how to finally do it correctly ...thanks huge , giant thanks to the coach and megs and the coaches assistant.
This is good to see for the upcoming Olympics. Now I know what to look for when the athletes are performing this exercise in competition.
Great teaching, really informative. Cool and calm 👍🏼
Meg is adorable and Max is a great teacher. Nice work by Kristin, too. Great video! 💪
When she says I can do this, my heart melts.
Love these two ladies. Nice tutorial.
Exactly what I was looking for. Cheers!
Found this very informative and helpful, definitely will use these tips in the box.
I love seeing Meg across my multiple subscriptions. The more Meg the better .

Well done guys , I find it very interesting, as well as educational. Thank you.
I found this so helpful learning at the same time as a beginner, as I was making all the same mistakes.
Great video and tweaking points
This woman is extremely good for a beginner 😉
Absolutely love the girls constant self assurance.
That's great instruction.Thanks
Personality with real content. I'm in!
Great job. I'll try to apply this next time I'm at the gym.
This is gold. Awsome video!
Loving these 'beginner videos' guys! Really helpful!
Love the vid! Good stuff for a rookie clean&jerker
This vid was very informative and helpful!
one of the best explanations! thanks!
Meg inspires me to keep watching 🥰😍
Still the best clean and jerk tutorial on CZcams!!!
I'm pleased to see that no one made any jokes about women being good at cleaning.
😂
Hahaha 😂😂😂
Phlegm Atic white knight bitch
Phlegm Atic by the way women are better at cleaning so they're shut up little b****
Yea because some are terrible and i know this.
Best clean and jerk tutorial that I have ever seen, thank you so much for this invaluable content!
Yes! Love it! I learned a lot from this video.
