STRENGTH: PUSH Jerk
We will continue our work with the shoulder-to-overhead movements this week by moving to the push jerk. The push jerk is the most efficient of the shoulder-to-overhead movements for most of us. It is the best movement to optimize the weight you can put overhead with the fastest turnover. Things to consider while doing a push jerk are a straight upper body throughout the dip and drive, speed under the bar, a ‘catch’ with locked out arms and good body positioning (avoiding over-extension). A great front rack will help with the efficiency and cycle time as we work heavy doubles today, as well.
