The jerk and barbell-room habits
Ready when: Stick technique, top-down (i1) started.
What the coach teaches
Jerk footwork, then the split jerk; over time strict press, push press, power jerk, split jerk; a full warm-up, collars on every bar, how to miss and drop the bar safely, wiping the equipment after use.
At home, safe only
Jerk footwork without a stick, once the coach has taught it.
Ask the club
How lifters learn to miss and drop the bar safely; how equipment is checked.
What you can see from the side
The lifter checks the collars without being told.
Self-check what the coach confirms
The coach clears the split jerk with a stick.
Stop and get a coach when
Shoulder or wrist pain.
