Push-jerk


Athletic, explosive, and powerful, movements don't get better or more functional than the push-jerk. The biggest loads will be lifted and multiple skills and adaptations will be learned. This lift utilizes the most favorable mechanics to move and stabilize large loads overhead and once learned correctly the athlete will use the same motions in everyday life whenever something needs to be placed overhead. Maybe those Christmas decorations I may eventually take down and put away?

Training:
Push-jerk 6x3

What Favre did:
5 muscle-ups
10 overhead squats at 95 lbs
5 rounds for time

Work hard and realize your dreams.
