My jerk is horrible. It always has been weak. I know what I am doing wrong. I know anatomically what misgivings I have. Dan John's latest newsletter described a couple of jerk exercises that I am going to try and see what happens. This one involves setting the racks at about the point that you would drop under the jerk, which is what you do. Stand up with the weight and align feet as if finishing a jerk, then open stance and overhead squat the weight back down to the pins. Hopefully the photos will help. Went easy on this, from doing this I realize that I am not pushing myself underneath the weight enough.
