1 RM Split Jerk
12 Min EMOM:
Split jerk time! We spent much of our split jerk time this month emphasizing common faults and efficiency improvements in torso position and landing. We’ve also spent some time with strength and power development. Now we get to put it all together and see where we shake out with some split jerks. Like the deadlift, you’ll get ample time to work up into max split jerk territory. Here’s your happy split jerk reminder, it is much less about how much your arms can move that weight, much more about how quickly you can drive your body under the bar. Have fun!
The WOD today is an EMOM monster of heavy barbell work. Even if you can’t meet the recommended weights listed, it is always good to pay attention to what they are trying to suggest. This should be challenging, heavy weight as you work through one rep of each listed movement. While we’ll never push people to heavy weights too quickly or haphazardly, we do want to make sure your nervous system, anaerobic system, and consistent technique gets variance in the demands and stresses for which it is subjected. All that nerd speak aside, go relatively heavy for you and ask a coach if you aren’t sure what that may mean.
