Damn... Ground out a hard 75 kg the other night to see where I was at. Some serious pressing strength in here!
I think a lot of the problems you guys may be facing when jerking is not being able to get the 'stack' - joint on joint on joint (wrist+elbow+shoulder). Take a look at Caleb Ward's jerks, he is a great example of this. Notice how the bar has a very rigid lockout - once it is there, it is there and locked the fuk out. The Chinese are a good example of this as well, as well as Dolega and Klokov. When you get this you see 'soft' and slow lockouts where the lifter has to fight for it. Often there is internal rotation of the shoulder, bent elbows, etc etc. Jerk from a stable position - front rack in full external rotation, shoulder back in the socket, and a lot of problems will clear up immediately.
Improve your shoulder and thoracic mobility, as well as improving leg (specifically quad) strength, and we will see some 140+ jerks very soon.
edit:
Please note his shoulder positioning throughout the lift. Hope this helps someone!

Yeah dude sink your ass down more, keep the chest up, make the arms tight and keep that back arched throughout the first pull. Make sure your ass and chest rise at the same speed. in your video your butt starts coming up first, followed by the chest.
Remember, the first pull is NOT a deadlift! Good luck brah lolThe Long Road to Competition... My olympic weightlifting journal:

The body and it's recovery mechanisms are bizarre and I can't even begin to understand them.
Two days ago: Feel awesome walking in, everything feels awful on the squat, barely BS 285 for a single, even though I BTN PPed 225x5
Yesterday: Feel awesome walking in, everything feels awful on the squat, FS 265 for an awful single
Today: Felt crap all day because I had spent all day on my feet and my stomach felt awful because I had a huge amount of greasy as **** brisket. Rush to the gym at 10 pm at nearly closing time. Get a back squat PR with 310x7. Legs didn't even feel tired. Only reason I stopped was because my blood pressure felt so high that it felt like my face was about to explode.

not srs
dat feel when impingement syndrome. anyone else have it bad latley? i could hardly lift a 5lb plate above my head this morning after training. it is a good thing my highest snatch weight was 70kg and my highest CnJ weight was 81 or else i would have died.
i did however hit 153x3 on back squat. that is a PR for me never done a triple over 143 before that

Had an ablation on my heart yesterday. They put in huge gauge needles in my groin to feed the wires in...and the insertions are pretty much exactly where the bar brushes my hips on snatches. Can't lift for a week anyway, but I have a feeling they are still going to be sore.

Clean and jerks from today. 98 x 2 is rep PR, and I'm pretty pleased with that considering my all time CJ PR is only 104.
Any tips/critiques? I've changed up my start position on my clean a little bit and I think it's helping me brush the bar higher on my thigh, thus keeping the bar path closer to my body. I'm also working on getting the bar further behind my head, thought I did a decent job of that today.

Was your impingement the result of one bad lift or a slow development?
Caleb Ward has absolutely excellent technique. **** I wish I could do that.

the bar position over head is fine. i noticed that you always (except once) step in with your back foot before your front, you should always do front first and then back unless youre super unbalanced and have to get the back foot under. you also jump forward to catch the bar and i think thats cuz youre not finishing your second pull

Oly lifting went terrible today went up to 103 power clean from hang. 65 muscle snatch. 133 paused CG bench lol (more than my FS).
Met a crossfit guy who weighed like 55kg that was snatching 70kg for reps. I was shocked he was lifting with good form lol.
This is what I do most of my time at the gym after oly lol. Sneaked the video since it's in a separate room.
