Summary
The Jerk is the single olympic lifting movement that does not require a pulling movement. Driving your body under the barbell is a different beast than pulling yourself under the barbell like the clean and snatch. In the One Ton Challenge, if you are going to make it into the One Ton Club, you will need a big jerk. In this episode of Barbell Shrugged, Anders Varner, Doug Larson, and Coach Travis Mash outline the technique, mobility, and training to increase your jerk and get in to the One Ton Club.
Minute Breakdown:
0-10 – The basics of a big jerk
11-20 – Understanding the spilt jerk and foot position
21-30 – Using the bar to lift more weights
31-40 – What happens when you blackout with a bar on your body
41-50 – Increasing mobility in the lat
51 -60 – Joining the One Ton Challenge
