Split jerk

Dip the hip, throw the weight up, and drive the body under the load to a locked-out, straight-arm position overhead. Only, this time, drive the body down under the weight, with one foot forward and one back, into a lunge-like position.

CrossFit - weightlifting, split jerk
Finish to standing by stepping the front foot back and then the back foot forward. The lift is complete when the feet are in the same horizontal plane, with the bar extended overhead.
