Push jerk 3-3-3-3-3 reps
Post loads to comments.
Lets disect Erics form on the Push Jerk a bit. First of all, the Push Jerk is a VERY difficult movement to learn, and even more impossible to perfect. It takes nearly 8 of the 10 fitness components to master, and all 10 when done in high reps. Eric is doing an outstanding job at learning it, but of course theres always going to be things to work on. Check out this video and picture:

First of all, getting the bar so that it doesn't rest on the wrists is priority. This could be related to flexibility and/or coordination. It may look like it rests on the wrists when the pros do it at the bottom, but it is actually on the chest. As soon as possible we want the bar directly above our elbow, with our wrist taut. And then of course keeping that body rigid and tight, which is easier said than done with a good amount of weight on there. Nice job Eric!
