Push Jerk - "Dip, Drive, Dip" - bar on shoulders, elbows forward of the bar, dip down with the knees first, keep shoulders back (shoulders should travel straight up and down on the dip) and weight on heels, dip should be about 3 inches, drive up with the hips (hips should fully open), bar travels straight up and overhead, maintain active shoulders and elbows locked out once bar is overhead, jump from starting position with feet under hips to feet under shoulders, land in a dip position with legs bent 2-3 inches, stand up after landing in the dip.
Felt good going up through the 1st 4 sets. Got ahead of myself on set 5 and tweaked my wrist on set 6...shut it down after that.
Made too big a jump 185 to 205. All in all, a very disappointing day.
Felt strong, found my max, good day overall
Failed on my second rep of 195. Popping the hips on the "drive" is important to get the weight moving upwards. Pulling yourself down under the bar on the re-dip helps with locking the elbows and getting the shoulders active.
Still working on form. Need to lock arms as I dip under the bar...More drie. Rest with weight on chest not extended above head. Need to up the weight next time, still looking for max.
Started off a little too slow, 135 should of been a warm upset. Failed on the third rep of the last set.
Possibly with good form on all three reps could go a little higher. Definitely could feel the ease in which the bar went up when I had a good drive and form.
I think I finally got the "dip, drive dip" now I need to focus on warming up properly so that I am able to lift more wieght during the work out sets.
Need to focus on form, form, form.
Finally got the dip-drive-dip coordination down!
Got better on my technique on my last set
