Congrats!
You must fix that start position! 
Lunge "better" in that jerk... 
STRONG recovery from that clean.

Thanks! This is my fourth attempt and first success with this weight.

You are fully capable of more!   Better form/technique will make "more" much easier.

But, then again, what do I know?  I'm just an American...

I'm the bald guy in the video and I did teach the lifter in this video how to lift.

Thanks for the side-view. I saw how a starting position must be.

I cannot take credit for the video, but if it does help you then that is a good thing.

Good news everyone! I found where I misplaced my video-cam...

Now it's time for me to video-tape my next PR.

At your point I wouldn't worry about PRs. Hell, this isn't a real PR. You can almost control
the weight on the way done. And you can successfully clean it although you do the first pull
in slow motion. You must work on technique. The weights will go up automatically. But the technique
is most important. PRs you can set in the squat.
