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.

• Push your body under the bar with your arms and catch it in a partial squat.

Mistakes

• Falling forward when you dip.
