I always find it harder the do the jerk but i was just wondering if anyone had it the other way. I was also wondering what were some good exercises that could help me improve my jerk.

Definitely the cling is pretty tough. Brutal.

I always preferred the snatch even though it meant less weight, its just seemed more fluid. My jerk has a lame very small little pause I'm trying to get rid of. I'm able to really bang the bar on the snatch but the clean I cant for some reason.

Olympic weightlifting had made me not only stronger and quicker but also better looking and possibly more well-endowed. See what it can do for you!

I like clean and jerk because snatch is all techinque. Well, clean and jerk is 90 % technique too but atleast you get to use some muscles in that lift.
