Tall Push Jerk - Barbell

Description

Start Position: Stand holding a barbell across the front of the shoulders and upper chest with your feet in a jumping stance.

Procedure: Dip down at the hips and knees. Immediately extend the hips, knees, and ankles and pause while on the tip-toes. Quickly, press the bar overhead as you drop under the bar to catch it overhead. Lower the weight back to the starting position. 

Coaching Key: Initiate the movement with your legs; prevent pushing the weight with your arms until your hips are fully extended. The feet and hands finish simultaneously, with the bar slightly behind the head.

Feel it: Working the entire body.
