The Split Jerk is F@#ing hard
I’ve more or less spent about 12 years lifting…but I still suck at the split jerk at heavy loads. Lighter loads is okay, but once I go beyond 70%, my foot work and pressing turns to 💩
My best clean is 155kg, but my best jerk is only 125kg. And even that weight is a bit iffy.
I know that my knees cave in on the dip and my shoulders don’t really lock out. I try to control it but once it gets to a certain load, it’s almost like my body can’t handle it in a way.
Any feedback here? I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts.
