Skill
EMOM for 10 Minutes
1 Push Press + 1 Push Jerk + 1 Split Jerk
Today’s focus will probably end up being a lot more on technique than heavy weight. Starting with the push press will automatically limit how much weight you start with on your bar. While the dip and drive should be almost identical in all three lifts your receiving position will be the difference. Focus on squeezing your quads as you press out the push press to guarantee you don’t actually drop under the bar like you would a push jerk. For the push jerk and split jerk focus on a fast and aggressive punch out and well as quick footwork to ensure you aren’t doing any extra work with your arms. They’ll thank you by that third lift in the sequence!
