if you are serious, there are places far better than /fit/ to be asking these questions.
/fit/ is for the pitcher fags to argue about 1x5 vs 5x5 and catcher fags to lust over toning.
as this is as always, a touchy subject when dealing with motor learning on a speed-strength/dynamic movement, TRY TRY TRY to get a CERTIFIED strength coach/USAW pratictioner to show you. likely you won't find one. i was very lucky in my case and willing to drive 1hr both directions.
BUT in the end, "cleans" done wrong are still better than cleans never done at all. Its not like you are going to compete, so do'em, and try to do'em right.
also, dont go 'too light' as the motor pattern for learning will be different AND it won't 'feel' right. for men (that means you can squat/DL at least 315) i teach with a starting weight of 95. I had an athlete who couldn't learn until he moved up to 155 in weight. adjust as you see fit. (these are in pounds)
