Lift from Al can end badly - not a nice bloke (5,3,4)

I believe the answer is:

clean and jerk

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lift' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'al can end badly not a nice bloke' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clean and jerk that I've seen before include "Weightlifting event" , "Lift" .)
