Purpose
- jerk received with the feet roughly in line, dipping under rather than
splitting
- no split means less depth to drop into, so the bar has to be driven higher and
the load caps below a split jerk
- what it does have is a simpler receive: two feet landing together, nothing to
recover from
Execution
Take the bar in a front rack on your shoulders, elbows slightly in front of it,
feet hip-width apart. Brace your trunk.
- dip at the knees, keeping your torso vertical
- drive the legs and send the bar off your shoulders
- dip under it a second time, punching your arms to lockout
- receive it with your feet landing together, slightly wider than you started
- stand with the bar stable overhead
If you find yourself splitting to save the rep, the bar was not driven high
enough. Drive harder rather than reaching further under.
