When you do something, do it right. Deep I know, must be hump day syndrome! Lol.
A): Push Jerk 3 - 3 - 3. Split Jerk 2 - 2 - 2 (Each set is a working set, build on them. Use racks).
NOTES: Using a rack work on your speed under the bar. Take as much warm up sets as you need, but when you start your sets it's on. No mulligans. (It should be noted that once you start your push jerks, that BOTH moves are on. No going back to the barbell to practice the form!).
Make sure you nail your reps. Let's learn to be efficient with our load choices. On the subject of footwork, on the push jerk MAKE SURE THEY MOVE! It's a big pet peeve of ours when we see athletes try and jerk but have their feet stuck on the floor. This may happen from time to time inside of a WOD, but should never ever happen in a strength session.
Make your dip-drive short, sharp and dynamic. Get that bar moving up as fast and strong as you can, aggressively open your hips, then and only then do you drive yourself under the bar to lockout. Stand the weight up fully before re-racking back on your shoulders. Resist the urge to string them unbroken. The load should be challenging enough for you to set each one.
On the split jerk (remember you would've practised this in your warm up sets, getting the footwork in the right place, etc), the load should really be moving up at this point. same drill with the dynamic dip-drive but of course your feet are moving to a whole new place here, so make sure you land securely. Front foot with a vertical shin, and back foot on the ball of the foot with a bend in the knee. If any of this is confusing you need to come grab a coach to help you through.
Remember you're building each set, trying to better the last.
B): MOBILITY (25-30 mins).
NOTES: You should have spent 20 mins at least on part A so you should be good for a bit of tlc. Go after four new areas that you either have never done before, or that haven't been touched for a while. Stay supple folks.
