Topic: Wow... My split-jerk really blows.

[ViKtoricus]

I have the same problem at my usual gym despite having bumpers, a proper bar and a platform. Friggin' newbies, man, they piss me off.

Not to sound like I am glad for our situation, but I am glad to hear that someone shares my agony!

These people don't realize the privilege of being around athletes like us. I'm not saying that to be arrogant, I'm saying it because it's the friggin' truth.

I agree with Storch, that jerk had a vote of no confidence going into it.  You've got to committ to going under the bar.  Dip, drive, fast split to your catch position and push your body DOWN! under the bar.  Once you start trying to jerk big enough weights that you can't possibly get it to arms legs using dip and drive alone, you've got to commit to going under.

You have phisical resources to make much more that you make in the yerk.
Are you training bulgarian system?
So, change power snatch or power clean (total or partially) for jerk from racks (same system of series an repetitions). In 4 weeks you certainly will learned much technical details and nervous stamina.

I thought I already gave you some advise on this this matter?

Some people may say different things. Unless you are someone like John Broz or Ivan Abadjhiev, I will almost never take your advice to heart without consulting other people.

In other words, I trust no one but myself and my own intuitions.

by the way , your back is more rounded and hips higher than last time!, if you dont practise with lighter weights in the manner i recommended, you will not do it with bigger weights, also your aint no naim or zachervich, and I met both of them at their best! also abadjhiev was given the head coach position before he created olympians, I believe it was a combination of frustration and a leap of faith from the officials!

I do notice that this is a big problem of mine.

"I find it very easy to fix my clean form. Over the past 5 months I've been training, I have managed to keep adjusting my clean technique to the better. I'm not saying that to brag, rather, I am saying it to emphasize the fact that my split-jerk BLOWS...

How do I fix it? Thanks in advance.", exactly what have you noticed??
