PUSH JERK

 

Purpose: The Push Jerk is an explosive movement, meaning the athlete's intent is to move the bar as fast as possible.  The lift's purpose is to synergistically recruit and fire several large muscle groups in unison to produce a summation of forces and thus move the load overhead with power.
