I apologize for my sad little drawing, but it's the only way I can help describe it!
You start with the weighted bar in the middle
Bend down
Middle again
Above head
Repeat

What is this called?!

    1 1/2 clean and jerk or clean and press i do believe.
    edit** if you started with the bar on the floor they are just clean and jerks or clean and press.

    Looks like a Snatch or a Power Snatch (the difference is the deep squat that happens in the Snatch).

    Hang Clean and Press (hang refers to the starting position of the bar)

    It's either clean and press (if you stop at your shoulders)

    or overhead clean and jerk

    or snatch

    Here's the Clean and Jerk.

    You know what you're thinking of, but it looks more like a Snatch than C&J to me.

    A "power snatch" sounds intimidating but delightful.

    If you're not skilled enough to handle the Snatch, you may wish to resort to the Clean & Jerk.

    It's called the hangman guy getting a little older, getting paunchy around his mid-stick and pursuing resistance training to become a stick figure again. Of course, eating a few less vowels would help.

    Thanks guys! I know I'm quite the artist ;)
    Now the next question- how would I log, say, 15 minutes of this?

    I don't see how people see a Clean and Press or Clean and Jerk from this? The bar would be on the stick-shoulders for the end of the Clean. And yes, I'm arguing about a stick-figure drawing of an oly lift. :P
