I'm a thrower, shot putter, not looking to compete in oly anytime soon. Push presses are more relevant to my trainer, as are cleans/snatches. I would love to do jerks but wrist is fuarked as hell. Like when I try to pop the weight up and catch it in a position to jerk it my wrist feels like its about to snap in half.

i noticed i do a slight splot when i power jerk. gotta get legs stronger to power jerk

guess im power jerking now because the injury got worse from the split jerks =\ now if i sit or rest for too long it goes number and i end up limping for 10s when i get up.

and heres 2 jumps from today. made 8'6" this time, didnt measure last time we did this. the second one was worse than the first because i had just done burpees before it....

Even though my jerk technique at low weight has improved, my jerk technique at higher weight still breaks down always for the same reason. And my jerk hasn't improved in weight even though my clean has.

I believe the reason for this is that at higher weights I have a tendancy to dip too much. When the dip is too deep, I hunch forward and that makes the jerk almost impossible. Takano keeps saying "use more legs" and I kept thinking he meant "dip more", but he doesn't, he means reverse direction fast and yeild to the bar. From now on, need to make sure to have a short, snappy dip and reverse direction fast, instead of trying to jerk with a huge quarter squat dip. I think that will fix all my jerk problems. This is what a jerk at low weight looks like.

[strengthsthetic]

shortest dip I've ever seen with a 211 jerk



apparently you build power on the dip, then drive as explosively as possible

It still baffles me how hysen is able to jerk a weight over his head that looks so heavy for him to handle. He just makes the bar move ridiculously fast overhead

He's very efficient and has weird proportions. His knees nearly knock both on the first pull and the recovery. But watching top lifters jerk clearly indicate that big dip=no, so I'm not sure why I was trying to do it.

i wish i had an asian training partner

ludi i will pay 6$ a week to live in my shed and lift with me

[LudiWithKnives]

hey guys, make sure you do your heavy pulls so you're not like me and crush your off the floor PR....not off the floor. mirin dynamic start? lol

chad vaughn said hes never trained someone that he HASN'T reduced dip depth on. like i said before, dont push it up there, dip and just pop that mofo up and get under





also...did you guys know Kendrick Farris is now a 94?

[DaTruth1]

^ holy mother of dynamic starts. Strong back arch bro.

[brahskimoseph]

okay disregard my previous post about how jerking it(no homer) hurts my wrist. Figured out how to get the bar into position, even on heavy ones.

Did 290 for doubles for 3 sets. Feelsgoodman.jpg. Had to lock a few out though, from not splitting and just power jerking.

[UberAlles]

you guys incorporate barbell rows into your programs at all? what variation and what rep range

[DaTruth1]

^ no but my back is a big pussy so maybe I should

probably better heaving it, havent you seen the chinese? they pretty much do kroc rows.

i do snatch/clean high pulls with rebend and that destroys my upper back but i know my lats are weak. what do?

[schabowy90]

Chinese rows 3x8 maybe once a week. Or tbar usually while I'm at school. Pull-ups or chin-ups twice a week


I only do em to stay swole though lol...same thing for dips and lat raises etc.

[ftwrestler]

went into the gym with good intentions felt strong, and then i ripped a callus off my hand. not the usual oh well i guess i will keep lifting tear. It is half dead half alive skin which sent a tearing sensation down my hand when ever i gripped onto something.

so i false gripped an 83kg snatch complex lol

i had to stop after that because i hands were tired and on fire

[schabowy90]

^^^hope that never happens to me

did you tape it up like a mofo?

[ftwrestler]

I've decided to start developing the mobility to squat jerk and start practicing the squat jerk. Not because I desire to emulate Lu Xiaojun, but because I think it would be helpful as far as holding the proper shoulder position in the front jerk, whcih I have difficulty with.

Any suggestions? I've been doing a lot of close grip shoulder dislocations and close grip overhead squats with a PVC pipe and bar. Anything else you find helpful? How long did it take you to develop the mobility to squat jerk?

I need to do this as well. To have better snatch positioning.
