Split Jerk Barbell Warm-up


This covers just about everything, but make additions, omissions and alterations to address your own needs. For example, you may finish with tall jerks rather than jerks.One time through this with 5 reps of each exercise should be plenty, assuming you’ve done a more general warm-up previously (which I would recommend), but more than that won’t hurt.And yes you can use this same template for a push/power or squat jerk—just make the obvious substitutes.

And no, you don’t have to do it all continuously as fast as possible like I did here for the sake of minimizing video time. Definitely take the time to ensure you’re doing each rep as well as possible—this is not just warming you up, but training/priming optimal movement.
