At the gym, straight up jorkin it, and by "it", haha well lets just say, my barbell

[AdrienLamb]

Nothing better then a jerkin it tutorial done by the man himself

[LatimusChadimus]

Back foot first is definitely one of the best pieces of advice for this movement you have ever given, even though every way you teach the snatch and the C&J are perfect

[Monsieur-proz]

finally ! i was waiting for this so much, most videos on split jerk only explain the how but never the why. this makes a huge difference to me

[RahulSingh]

This series is damn informative, so much to learn..

[tom_shrimplin]

I've been lifting heavier with a norrmal jerk for so long, since split jerks always felt like weird jumping lunge with a barbell overhead. The back foot first tip is a huge gamechanger. Thanks Zack!

[kevindittler]

Great commentary but must’ve been watching a different video because the video that’s in this one in this presentation. The Lifter in this video is doing 215 kg not 150. Three reds and a blue 20 kg was able to freeze the picture to actually get a good snap on it and timing is incredible Back is just slightly ahead of the front foot in ground connection.

Fantastic video. Love this series of Olympic lifting.

[MikeCGuitar]

Wow, what a clear and concise video. Thanks Zack

[tatache]

Thanks Zack ! Have a stability problem in the catch but I'm working on it. You teaching why do all the stuff is pretty cool. I'm going to get far more confident.

I am new to weightlifting and that speech about dip and drive really was interesting. Intuitively I would think of the dip as rapid to use the stretch-shortening cycle like a a regular jump byt then you made me think about the weight. In a jump the weight moves with you because well, you are it. But in a lift if you drop there's gonna be a distance between you and the weight so you will "increase" the weight as you said

[stephenbramel]

That tip on the grip is one of the top things I took away from the video. It’s that last little piece for me is not being on the fingers! Thanks ZT I didn’t even know what was going on there until you mentioned it.

[SCUD]

Great tutorial - Trying those lifts made me realise how poor my shoulder girdle and wrist mobility is. I bet working on them will help relieving my fequent shoulder pain too

[PaulSmith-prpv]

Mate your presentation skills are on point for this coaching video 👌

[deanforrest]

These vids and walkthroughs are what I tell people to do when they ask me how to do the Olympic lifts. These are like the bible for weightlifting.

[mellpear]

Great video again

The advice you gave in your first jerk video improved my technique so much

Back foot first is still a cue in warm-ups

[panagiothsstaurou]

And can be changing the front leg i mean forward right back left then change etcetera for a double for example i understand that the point is not to build your legs but i think i still good to do it both sides like every unilateral exercise

[JacobDHoward]

Remember sharing the original version to my athletes in 2017 ❤

[mayamateur]

Am really starting to understand that this sport is not about power but its about efficiency.

[federicocarnebale]

About which foot you need to put in front my coach told me that the one that goes in front is the one that you use first before going up a ladder
