Push jerk

Jerk variations (push or split) allow us to move greater load in less time. Weight is taken from the racked position on the shoulders to a secure position overhead in a fraction of a second.

CrossFit - Weightlifting push jerk
Dip the hip, throw the weight up, and drive the body under the load to a locked-out, straight-arm position overhead. Finish to standing to complete the lift.
