Jerks! (Thursday 14 May 2009)

Shoulder work again today, this week - the Jerk. As we are starting to look more at the Olympic lifts next week it will be good to get a baseline on what we are capable of. Tomorrow we may even look at the squat clean to get a reading on both components of the Clean and Jerk exercise.

Cash Out
Yes, I know it's a warm-up routine, but it's also a great introduction to some of the movements for the Olympic lifting that we will be looking at next week.
