Stay on the heels as long as possible.

When dropping into the dip portion of the push-press or push-jerk, stay on the heels as long as possible. What this will do is keep the body in the correct position and allow the athlete to apply maximum power to the ground to blast off on the drive portion. Yes, during the aggressive drive portion of the lift the heels will come off the ground as the athlete reaches full extension of the hips and knees, this is expected and encouraged.

Training:
Push-press 5x5
Then
Plank 1 minute
1 arm, 1 leg plank 15 seconds, then switch the arm and leg
