Weight Training: Split Jerk

This movement is the split jerk. When done properly this is a great tool to develop full body explosive power as well as coordination and stability. Is important when performing this movement that the athlete properly load the hips by pushing them back and down rather than forward, and to maintain overhead stability with the bar before standing up.
