Niveau: Technically Complex
The squat jerk is a rare style of jerk infrequently used in competition, and even more rarely used in training by athletes who don’t use it in competition.
Description
How to do Jerk: - Start with a barbell in the racked position across your collarbones. Your hands should grip a little outside of the gnarling. - With your feet underneath your hips, dip into a quarter-squat position. - Extend your legs, open your hips, and explode up to drive the bar into the overhead position. - As you extend the bar overhead, dip a second time to drop under the bar as you catch the bar with your arms extended. - Stand up to the starting position and lower the bar down.
