Don’t forget to smile the next time you pull under a PR weight! Sarah Hopping getting after 253lbs/115kg clean. This weight escaped her grasp a couple times this day but she’ll own it soon.

Are you…

Feeling disconnected in your jerks?
Pressing/grinding out the lockout?
Slow getting under the bar?

Try some “open palm” jerks at lighter weight to be sure you’re not over tensioning against the barbell. This technique will allow you to better express your legs and allow the arms to follow through and drive you underneath the barbell. (Warning: open palm to start and then close your grip as you lock out your elbows)
