Stomp your heels!

Stomping the heels into the ground after the initial "jump" upon the landing will help timing the lockout of the weight over head and enforce proper positions i.e. landing in a partial squat during the push-jerk. However do not start "donkey kicking." This happens when the athlete, in an effort to produce a big loud stomp, raises the feet too high in the air. It's inefficient and not needed, only jump high enough to slip a playing card under the feet.

Training:
Push-jerk 5x5
Then
Push-ups plank x 45 secs
plank x 45 secs
rest 1 minute
4 rounds
