ME Upper 8

Warm-up:
back squats
overhead squats
jump squats
good mornings

1-1-1-1-1 shoulder press (95,100,105,110 [stall to push],110 [push])
3-3-3-3-3 push press, BTN (105,115,125,130,130)
5-3-2-2-2-2 split jerk (65,75,85,95,105,110)

3 rounds of:
10 plate swings (45# plate)
8 (per arm) unilateral DB row (65#)

Modeled after the WOD on 081007, but since I've never split jerked before, I took some time to get the movement down; I find it much more natural than the push jerk. I couldn't do more than a couple of reps by the end cause my wrists were too sore.

interesting, we were just discussing jerks in general. I really need to work on jerking.

You have a way with words...

So, sounds like you're feelin' the split jerks more... You end up moving your feet a much greater distance, no?

And WTF is that picture?

Click on the picture; it's funny (I think anyways cause I like hoodies).

The feet do move more, but it's very natural. Not like you are raising your knees alot, just enough to let your feet move. It's worth putting some cues on the ground to make sure you are consistent about foot placement.
