The jerk is the last lift of a successful competition. It is technically demanding, explosive, and extremely satisfying if landed flawlessly. But jerks are also hard to coach. Kurt Roderick just published his study on using an accentuated eccentric loading to improve split jerk performance.
Kurt Roderick is the Owner and Head Coach of Murder of Crows, the largest sanctioned weightlifting club in New York. He holds a master’s degree in Human Performance from Lehman College and is certified as a USA Weightlifting Level 3 National Coach.

Enjoy!
