Muscle Groups

Purposes
  • Strength and power of the lower body.
  • Coordination of the upper and lower body.
  • Core strength.

Overview

The push Jerk is an efficient way to press a lot of weight. It forces the upper and lower body to work together and is very challenging for the core musculature. Flexibility may be a limiting factor for many people. If that is the case then work on your flexibility and you may be more successful with the Split Jerk.

  • Dip down with your legs, keeping your chest up.

  • Push your body under the bar with your arms and catch it in a partial squat.
  • Stand up, keeping the bar overhead.

Mistakes

  • Falling forward when you dip.
  • Catching the bar too far forward or back.
  • Letting your hips go forward.
