Wednesday Workout: Jerk Technique, Running, and Wall Balls

The Reynolds girls demonstrate proper overhead positioning.

Skill

Spend 15 minutes practicing various drills for the jerk:

  • Push (or power) jerk
  • Split jerk
  • Behind-the-neck jerk

WOD

Level 1

  • Run 400 m
  • Wall Ball (14/10#) x 50
  • Run 200 m
  • Wall Ball x 25

Level 2

  • Run 800 m
  • Wall Ball (20/14#) x 50
  • Run 400 m
  • Wall Ball x 25

Notes

  • When performing a jerk, avoid the tendency to “press out” the top of each lift. Strive to catch the bar with straight arms.
  • Check out Karl’s webiste Paleo Picks and submit a meal or two!
