Split Jerk Weightlifting

All Time 1 year 6 months 3 months

Description

See "push jerk". Receive the barbell in a split stance. During the descent under the bar, move one foot forward and one foot backwards. The knee of the front leg should be bent with the back foot on its toes. The split stance allows the athlete to get under the bar deeper than a normal stance and helps with balancing issues.
