How To Jerk – My #1 (and Slightly Awesome) Tip for Beginners In Olympic Weightlifting
Your Jerk is slow.
Don’t lie to me! I know you are making this cardinal sin.
The jerk should be the fastest of the 3 Olympic weightlifting movements, but when YOU do a jerk, you look like a sloth taking a nap.
Evil!
Don’t worry, I’ve got a quick fix for you – and I even (quasi) sing for a second … because I’m a dork.
Here’s the video:
My new technique guide, “Romancing the Jerk” will be out this Friday (and contains a bunch of killer tips and tricks like this one) … make sure you sign up for the email list below because it will be on Sale for a VERY short time, and I don’t want you to miss it!
… Plus … you’ll get a free copy of The 7 Sins of Weightlifting, which has been downloaded now by thousands of lifters around the world.
If you have any questions, comments, or reasons why I SHOULDN’T eat another croissant right now, leave them in the comments section below and I’ll hit’cha back!
Dude Thank you.You save my life.I always wanted to be a chamion and i am really hard worker and thinker but always lack of information i can;t find coaches that really care about me.And i learn 90% of the basics from you even witohut money… Example my “coach” says dip and drive and i have 250 back squat and i can;t jerk 140 with DIP and drive.I start to bounce and it is like the bar
i have back issues(middle) always tierd and i really would have never seen that back must be not LOCKED” like the coaces says it need to be relaxed and that allow u to youse your LATS and hamstrings and glutes for positioning and also when i go down i have still some strenght in my middle back + my traning at all i can be more INtensive or put more Volume (again learn from you how to be not sore all the time) You Are Just incredible!!!!!!

Also Hip Extension(i always extend my back before) Hip Trusts as a greates exercises.Also to Use my hands to go down at classic not just “Don;t use your arms” i Put also heel and all the streching and DIP in to the glutes groin and hip flexors.10 small things Make me so so much better that i have never seen only with watching videos from champions.
And i have one Question i see From Kazakstan Ilia Ilin doing hanging on a bar(that you can do pull ups) doing a lifting legs like usualy people use it for Abdominal exercise but actualy you use a lot of hip flexors.And my question is if you actualy do explosive moments and focus on using hip flexor not abs maybe should be a good weightlifting exercise for strenght hip flexor or teach you to be even more explosive.Have you ever try that? Or if you don;t what do you think about it?
