Split Jerk

Workout 2 January 2010

Split Jerk, seven sets of one rep

Results: 150-155-160-165-170-175-180lbs
Previous best: 145-150-155-160-165-170-175lbs (11 Jan 09)

Only two days into the new year and already a PR! I actually didn't expect to hit these numbers, but each lift felt good, so I kept going. I actually did a total of nine singles, but I took the last seven to be the ones that ended up counting. I'm slightly stronger and faster with my right leg forward, so I made sure to alternate legs with each rep.

The key to a split jerk is not pushing up on the bar, but rather pushing yourself explosively down under the bar.
