STRENGTH
Rack Split Jerk
5 sets x 1 Reps
Notes
Perform 5 sets at the same weight focusing on technical consistency over load. Try to hold the receiving position for three seconds on every lift. If you came on week 1 (11/8) or have a 1RM Jerk, aim for a weight around 70-80% of your best lift. We also performed a submax rack jerk on 11/12.
