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 explode upward, pressing the bar overhead by extending your hips, knees, and ankles. Drop under the bar and catch it overhead with your arms straight. Stand tall, then 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 at the same time.

Feel it: Working the entire body.
