Tall Split 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. Extend the ankles, knees, and hips, and pause on your tip-toes. Immediately press the bar overhead while simultaneously dropping under the bar and catch it overhead with your arms straight in a strong split stance. 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.
