The “Jerk”
The
CrossFit training philosophy revolves around using functional exercises for a
constantly varied cycle of workouts. The functional exercises range from major
lifts, such as the deadlift and squat, to basic bodyweight movements, such as
pullups and pushups. One of the most advanced lifts to build total body
strength is the push jerk -- an overhead lift using a barbell and weights.
Technique
Every
CrossFit exercise follows a specific technique and range of motion for safety
and to increase the effectiveness of the movement. The push jerk isn't any
different. The push jerk starts with the barbell supported in the racked
position on the front of your shoulders and top of the chest. Begin the
movement by dipping into a quarter-squat and driving the barbell to the
overhead position as you catch the bar in a partial squat. Finish the push jerk
by standing up to fully open the hips.
