Push Jerk
5 - 5 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1

- The Push Jerk is a true demonstration on how we utilise what we call "core to extremity" movement. We rack that barbell on the front of our shoulders, then by taking a small dip downwards & promptly standing, dare we say jumping, up we allow the bar to lift off of our body by virtue of our leg/hip (our core area) drive up. The bar, now sky rocketing its way north, is simply waiting for us to punch ourselves under it.
- By using good quality, effective core to extremity movement we are showing that we have a strong, stable enough midline to harness some force into the object. We are then showing that we can take that produced force and send it out to the arms (the extremity). This is us being able to connect the dots from all parts of our body & brain. Plus you get to move some cool amounts of weight around too!!
- Today start out a bit more conservatively on your first working set. Aim around the 50% mark and look to try and build on every set toward hitting your best "single" for the day. Who knows, maybe you set yourself a new PR?!?!
- Get round your mates, watch them lift, cheer them on, grab some high fives and it'll be a good day!!
- Hold the standards. Form is priority as always.
- Scale as needed.
