Still time to sharpen up your Jerk before the State Meet. We’ll go over theory and then get out on the floor so you can apply what you learned.

Make that third attempt Jerk. Or learn how to help your athletes make them.

Why become a coach? You’ve spent years expanding your own knowledge to gain strength and expertise. Why not share that with the next generation of athletes? No one knows the struggles like the people who have been through them. Your experience could guide new athletes around some of the hurdles. Come join us and learn how to effectively share what you know—and gain a lot of new knowledge, too!

We’ll cover effective coaching and cueing strategies, programming, safety, error correction, and have a good time learning together.

We’ll take you step by step through creating a concrete core, then you can use it as the foundation of your reconstructed Jerk.

Stop hoping you hit your Jerk after a good Clean. Stop leaving it to luck. It ain’t luck. It’s understanding what to work on and what to do.

Legs before hands. Legs, THEN hands. If you only take one thing away from everything I’ve ever said about the Jerk, remember this: Legs finish driving before the hands and arms do anything. Just this will help you make more Jerks than any other single cue.

Speed to the split is King. And you cannot be fast in the split, or start the split when you should, if you push up on the bar at all before the legs have unweighted the bar. If you keep your hands and arms relaxed while the legs impart sufficient momentum to unweight the bar, you can move to the split quickly and freely, your hands chasing the bar to lockout rather than pushing it up.

However, if you push up with the hands too soon, there is pressure down into the feet for too long, delaying the split and making it slower. That’s how you get caught with a short front foot and bent arms ready to press out.

If you want to learn more, join us for a Jerk Clinic and bonus Bracing Seminar with Dr. Luke Barnhorst, PT. Saturday, July 11th at Clean Slate Weightlifting.

I’ve watched too many missed Jerks in my 25+ years of coaching Weightlifting. Even after easy Cleans. And most, if not all of the misses find their source in errors of concept. The athlete just doesn’t have a clear idea of what they are supposed to be doing. Even if they’ve been coached, the detail and understanding just isn’t there. I’m here to help.
