“A leader is a dealer in hope.” - Napolean Bonaparte
XT Strength 9a
Jerk - A:
Push Press + Power Jerk + Split Jerk : 1-1-1-1
Push Press + Power Jerk + Split Jerk 1-1-1-1
Use the heaviest weight you can for each set. Rest as needed between sets.
4x(1+1+1) 50-60% 1RM Split Jerk
Today's complex should feel progressively easier (i.e. the push press should feel the heaviest and the split jerk the lightest). Use the push press rep to get in the habit of aggressively exploding upward from the initial dip.
Jerk - B:
Split Jerk 5x3 at 60% 1RM
Rest as needed between sets.
Focus on your footwork here. You have 3 reps each set to create good habits. Each landing should feel exactly the same. If you are having trouble balancing in your receiving position you can 1) go a bit wider (horizontal) with your feet, or 2) hold the landing for 1-2 seconds each time before standing. Get used to what the receiving position should feel like.
Jerk - C:
Front Rack Hold 3x 15 secs
Use the same weight for each set. Rest as needed between sets.
110% 1RM Split Jerk
We're going beyond your split jerk max here. If you want to be able to jerk more weight, you certainly are going to need to be able to support more weight. Make sure you have a nice solid rack position with elbows up so that the weight is supported across your shoulders. Keep your rib cage down to avoid overextending the back and practice your belly breathing.
D)
Bench Press 3x5 @ 70-75%
Diagonal “Bound and Stick” 3x50’
