Back Foot & Short-Stepping The Split Jerk


Kelcie Asks: Split Jerks - I just don’t get them. I’m having trouble fixing the timing of my back foot in the split jerk or figuring out the cause to why the timing is so off.  I’ve improved my dip and my drive (could still be more aggressive but it’s a work in progress) but my back foot is visibly slower (and higher?) than my front foot. I often have to ‘chase’ the bar or miss the jerk out front. Thank you for your help!
