32/M/176

8:01 for the 2K row

I had a feeling we were going overhead today!

Someday I will beat you guys to the post!

Great, a chance to work on my jerk. I was disappointed last time we went overhead.

Thank God. Doubled up yesterday FF/2K Row back to back. Gah.

Annie, Rob, Eva, etc.. Have one of the best gyms I've seen, & the best trainers hand down! That PU bar is stout. Miss you guys & talk to you soon.

CFSCC = Legit!

Hmmm.....I will have to research this push jerk more in depth before attempting this. I assume rest between sets is open-ended?

hey guys... just gettin into cross fit... 21.male.160.athletic. whats a good start weight for the jerk

Power Cleans at CFSBK

115, 120, 125, 130, 135, 135

PR by 7# in the PC. Full Clean still way ahead at 150 :(

Convinced my brother and sister in-law to go for the Rower rather than the treadmill. Crossfit helped with the argument. Tested my skills today. 7:09 for 2k. Tempo avg 23 pulls/min . What is the setting supposed to be at? I had it on level 3. What is everyone else doing it on?

Maximus, I feel your pain. Today was a catch up day for me as well. Except after the FF & 2K row, I grappled for an hour & a half. Followed by a feeble attempt @ a Zone friendly meal from Taco Bell drive thu.

Get some, Go again!

Push Jerk will be tough as I still have soreness from 3 days ago. arms haven't been this toasted for so long. giddy up and go

#10 Joel
Try starting with a broomstick until you have the technique down. As you warm up you can switch to a bar and add weight in increments.
I pretty much still do it that way for a good warm up.

#11 Jake B
Rest 3 to 5 minutes between your sets.

Check the FAQ's for video demo's

I sent the following letter to Crossfit Customer service. They politely disregarded my idea. Don't you guys think it would make the site much better? Lets start a movement!

To whom it may concern,

I have been wondering if there was a way to improve the way we post and view our comments on the website. I am not a computer person so I don't know if it is even possible. But I think it would be cool if there was a box where you could type just the number for your workout, ie:the time, the reps, the weight, or the rounds depending on the type of workout it was. And maybe a box you could check for as rxd or scaled. And a box for male or female. And then of course you could type your comments as usual.

But the idea would be to change it so you could sort the comments and view the posts by time or rounds or weight etc. Or view by male/female. Or sort by age or bodyweight. And then we would be able to quickly see who is doing the fastest workouts and where we lie in the range of times, weights, or rounds. This seems to be in line with the philosophy of crossfit: accountability/competitiveness/using a community to push us beyond our limits.

Thanks for considering
Jonathan Stevens

Crossfit Sana Cruz Central rocks. We definitely miss seeing the crew and clients on a daily basis at CFNSC. The pullup bars were constructed, designed and installed by CF craftsmen Dan Grant and Jason Bills. They are too humble to say so but their work can be seen at more than a few CrossFit Facilities.

#18

I'm sure it was given all the consideration due.

I love the site how it is, which is free.

all the positive comments about CFSCC are appreciated! thank you. as Ronnie said, Jason Bills and Dan Grant are to thank. We too, miss the OC being together, but the growth will be worth it!

This should be a humbling experience, i havent push jerked in a couple years, and last time i did, it wasnt that good.

TODAY'S FAQ
===========================================

WOD = Push jerk 3-3-3-3-3 reps

Work up to the max weight you can do three reps. Rest as needed between sets (generally 3-5 minutes). I could give a description of the difference between the shoulder press, push press, and push jerk, but there are several videos on the Exercises and Demos page that do a much better job than I can here.

http://www.crossfit.com/cf-info/excercise.html

Once on this page, press Ctrl-F to use the search feature to find references to "jerk". There are several good videos.

Excellent - need to work on my push jerk.

Also doubling up on WODs today (row + this) so I'm glad its strength!

This will be fun.

I dont have a rowing machine yet.. So I ran 5k (25min) and Practiced my Singles, Doubles, and Alternating patterns with my Jumprope for 30 minutes.

Does any one else think its really hot that Allison can Power Clean 135lbs?

i just CAN'T get enuf of his lessons...gd stuff!!

Hey everyone, I just did the pushup/dip/pushpress workout today and I strained my lower back a bit and it is sore. It seems like every time I do deadlifts, overhead lifts, or even dips I seem to tweak my lower back a bit. I was just wondering if anyone has any advice or if there are exercises I should be doing to strengthen it. BTW im 20/m/175,
Thanks

Here's my two cents:

Joel, Comment 10, I am new to crossfit how much should I jerk?

Joel, use a dowel or PVC pipe and do 100+ reps to get the motion down. then use an empty bar for the WOD. I know, putting the bar in your hands so quickly is a little premature but you're young and athletic. If you really want to excel do a set of shoulder presses with a weight you know you can do , after the 100 reps with a dowel. Then push press the same weight for a few sets and then push jerk the same weight for the balance of the sets. The most important thing is to start with many, many reps with just PVC pipe or a broomstick. It would be best if someone watched you do it, preferably someone who can critique you as you learn the movement. It s_cks to have to unlearn a movement after it has been burned into your muscle memory.

Jake B. comment 11, How much rest do you take between sets? Rest as much as you need between sets.

Tom Alcivar, comment 14 Damper settings are much more about how you row personally than it is about a higher or lower number being tougher. I linked a good discussion video from Angela Hart yesterday on this topic, you can look for my post on yesterday's comments. An easy way to find a comment is to go to "edit" on your browser and choose "find" then type in "Billy" or whatever you're looking for...

Jon H. comment 17, yes, that's what I'm talking about :>)

Jonathan comment 18, wow, you've been thinking long and hard about posting... cool, I have no idea how tough that would be to pull off from a back end web master perspective, sounds pretty involved.

Ronnie B. comment 19, How did they get the holes in the end of the pipe to slide the bar through? Is it a tool that I can get easily? We are just about to trick out a garage gym and those bars are the bomb, I'm just not sure that we can pull off cutting the hole at the end of the bar.

jwb_atm_93, thanks, as usual :>)

Johnny, comment 26, yup, that's hot

Loved the video from Coach Rip, as usual, but who is the marathon runner resting on the bumper plates in the video?

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

I was wondering what kind of jerk should I use for this workout? Does it matter if I do split jerks, or do I have to do it like the one on the exercise and demo pages? Also, what kind of supplements are recommended for CrossFit workouts? Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks

This scares the poop right outta me. I am not good at these at all, but I just watched the "learning th push jerk" clip and I feel like maybe if I do that a few dozen times I can figure it out...

by the way, great video.

I'm into my second week of trying crossfit now, Like most others I thought I was pretty fit before hand. I'm still aching from the workout last Friday (15 PU, 36 bench Dips, 9 Push press @50kg: I managed 4rounds and 6 push press, could not make the last 3 in the 20min to count it as 5 sets)

Could somebody please tell me the difference between the push jerk and the push press. I've had a look on youtube and they both look the same to my untrained eye..
thank a lot

Doubled up today and yesterday's.

It was good! 9:05 2k and 85-95-105-105-105.

#41 Ewan. There's a great video on the exercise section of the site that demonstrates the differences between SP, PP and PJ. Just hit Ctrl+F on the 'Exercises & Demo' page and search for 'Jerk'.

O come on crossfit the instructional video's like Mark Rippetoe, Tony Blauer, and the other guy that does all the olympic training are all stuff that is common knowledge. It is not like ground breaking information. I just think they are boring and don't pump me up. Don't get me wrong I am a crossfitter from head to toe. I would rather see video's from crossfit games, new gym openings, or workouts with people blowing times out of the water. Those are excellent video's.
God Bless

#41

Not that I don't relish instructional videos (god only knows I need them!), but I've been missing the new affiliate and WoD vids too.

#11 the numbers on the side of the rowing machine aren't resistance, they are more like gears on a bike, you can choose a different number for a different workout. people will also perform better with different numbers based on their mechanics. a good starting place for a 2k is from 3-5. If you want more resistance pull harder!

Speaking of rowing, a day late. I just got back from the Concept II cert in Vermont and it was great. They are truly part of the Crossfit Family. This can be compared to all the other certs., and will help bring your game to the next level. Seeing that many people erging all at once was pretty cool. The weekend ended with the opportunity for some on the water rowing (practical output of the erg) and it was cool to see it go well for some people. A very good experience overall and Vermont is just an awesome place to be... And if you get a chance, the owners of concept II have a killer rope swing.
Thanks Again

What's up with the skeleton resting on the bumper plates in the video?

lol at Billy's comment #32

Posting a day late, but wanted to thank Brian and Carl for the running & endurance cert they put on in Atlanta this past weekend. I learned a ton of information about mixing Crossfit with endurance sports and the sessions on POSE running were priceless. If you are trying to figure out how to Crossfit *and* train for longer running races or triathlons, I'd suggest you check out their website at www.crossfitendurance.com

still getting comfortable with the push jerk after breaking my split jerk habit... it was starting to feel pretty good by the end.

I work for a sports technology company, and we deal with capturing, storing and distributing real-time statistics for sports leagues and events all over the world. I think yours is a very good idea, and agree that it fits with the philosophy here. Don't mind the comments about "the site is free so just pipe down". It's input like yours that drives progress. "Wouldn't it be cool if..." comments should always be welcomed. Whether they are executed is up to the decision makers...but your input is valuable.

I'll give some feedback to your initial idea (and break it into pieces first). It sounds like you would like to have people input their WOD and basic information into a standard format. From there, you could sort the data based on result, gender, or something else. This is entirely possible, and could generate a ton of cool stats. For example...who currently has the best posted time/weight/reps? What time/weight/rep do I need to be in the top 5%...25%...50% of the community (or ladies/men)? How did I do versus the people who scaled as Rx'ed? This could be posted and refreshed automatically, or there could be a stat tracker link from the blog that could bring you to a pop up. COOL STUFF!

The more challenging part may be to link comments to the raw data. Comments are usually time/sequentially oriented (you comment about what you saw above you). What you could do is have a common form with fields for gender, age, weight, load, reps, time and a section for comments. The first six fields would be fed to a database for sorting and publishing, and also create a "signature" below the authors comments which could be fed back to the blog. This adds a level of complexity, and also introduces a few more points of failure to the system which seems to be pretty robust right now. But it's doable!

I would be interested to hear Coach's thoughts on collecting, sorting, and publishing performance data on the site. Besides being cool to look at and compare for the members of the community, it also allows CrossFit to automate collection of hundreds of data points a day. This is data that could be the foundation of further research and publication in academia.

Whether this data is used for pure or applied science is up to Coach. I am sure that the growth of the CrossFit brand, the Games, the Affiliate Community, Certs and general management are high on the priority list for HQ, but I agree that this is another way to take CrossFit to a new level.

Wouldn't it be cool??

This is my first push-jerk wod.

For those with semi negative comments about the video being so, let's say, basic and rehashed. That's crap. Michael Jordan had a coach. Know why? Even the greats need reminding of the basics.
I watched the video, ran downstairs to my gym and added 50 lbs to my back squat. Open the hips sounds so simple but what a diff.
Thanks Rip for reminding me of things I thought I knew but forgot. Everybody needs to remember the basics of a lift.

I got a "cheap" model which I use extensively from Yukon Fitness. I am in Canada, and they send from their international office based in Ohio.

One (major) thing you should consider is whether to have a split pad. The model I ordered didn't have and it is a bit of a nut cracker.

Just one option.

I did this last night (kinda) without realizing it was the main site WOD, and man, I SUCK at push jerks.

1 @ 150 (missed)
1 @ 150 (missed)
1 @ 145 (missed but should have got it)
1 @ 145 (finally got it... sad...)

The real crappy thing about this is, I've power cleaned 170, and have gotten the bar high enough to power clean 180 (my technique wasn't fast enough with the elbows and I missed the catch), and the fact that I can't stinkin' get 150 lbs over my head when I can basically power clean 180 lbs really ticks me off.

Of course, my 107 lb shoulder press vs my 300+ lb deadlift probably has something to do with it.

I think this is a great idea, and I'm surprised at the negative responses to your idea. From an implementation perspective, I wouldn't care if the form and comments area were kept separate...in fact some people might prefer that: I recall a comment from a few days ago complaining about having to sort through all the "social" comments to get to the WOD numbers people were posting. #15s ideas could also make it a helluva lot easier for the women to see where they stand compared to other women, which is a bit of a tedious process currently.

did roughly 30 reps at 65lbs worked on form with big mike, kept the weight at a minumum.... starting to feel more comfortable with the exercise, will look to increase the load next time around.

then ran 1- 400m in 1:02, should break the 1min mark next time around as well.

Watched the P-Jerk Vid last night, probably 'fooned it today. Will review and improve next time. Yeah some of these instructional videos lack the "production quality" you might see on TV but I find them very helpful as I have no coach! Let's keep 'em, use 'em if you like 'em.

#67 - Richard,

Thanks for the link (www.logsitall.com). I had forgotten that there was an alternative system that does a ranking.

"Wouldnt it be cool" if that was done for each WOD from the mainsite, not just a small sampling that uses the other site? Or if there was a little tracker under the WOD that gave some info on what was the current best time/total/reps?

Don't have a bar, and the last time I put my sandbag above my head, I also pulled my groin. I'm still recovering a month and a half later, what a waste.

If the videos on the site didn't show you the difference, then maybe a description will.
The push press is best described as dip-drive. You dip into a partial squat, then power up out of it and use that momentum to help push the bar over your head.
A push jerk is more of a dip-drive-dip. Again you do a partial squat and power out, driving the bar over your head, but before the bar gets all the way up you dip under it again and catch it with arms fully extended but legs in a partial squat. To finish the movement stand up.
That is how I differentiate the moves. Someone with more Olympic lifting experience may be able to give more pointers.

There is no need to lower the bar to the floor between each rep. The push jerk starts from the rack (cleaned) position. If you were meant to take it from the ground each time it would say something like clean and jerk.

175 - couldn't lock out second rep, kept the bar and finished the last two)
185 - (took a chance and failed on the third, had to re-rack and got the last rep, then failed on the way down and dropped the weights. Sweet sounds of crashing plates in a quiet gym with the gentle whooshing of aerobic machines in the background.
Form was iffy past 155, problems with the second dip and lockout. So I was kinda push pressing the 175/185, I wonder if I actually got the PJ what the weight could be...Work on technique again tonight.

Tough day because of lack of weight. Working on adding to it but saving for med school doesn't help. Only have 100# weight set and the university gym won't allow anything outside the squat racks, no rubber weights. Total Globo Gym at the 9th largest university in the country. USF (Tampa) has strict "olympic lifting" policy, as in no lifts other than bench and squat.

When I hit the back button, all the text I had typed is gone... until now. Normally I post from home, but right now I am at work.

Per the VA Beach Cert, your first set should be at one of the highest weights you can lift. I see people listing sets like

95, 105, 115, 120, 125

Per the Cert, that person should have used 95, 105, 115 as a warmup, then started their five sets with 120, preferably failing on one of the sets. Makes sense from an intensity standpoint.

Perhaps like Bertram at #88, I've been having problems with technique on this one, potentially because I don't "understand" what it is we're trying to accomplish. I get that you can drive more weight using this technique than you could from a simple shoulder press or push press, but it seems to me that you're doing so using technique to offset that greater weight. In other words, if you were interested in developing functional strength rather than a technique to move more mass, wouldn't it be better to either do shoulder presses to exercise the shoulders or overhead squats to work the legs?

Not criticizing, mind. Just trying to understand.

Upped intensity on last 2 sets, not sure why it was a little low to begin with. Felt like I could get 200.

Just a side note...lowered damper setting from 8-10, which I used yesterday on my 6:58.5 2k, down to 5. Easily maintained 1:36 for 500m even after the all out 2k yesterday. I figure I should be able to maintain a 1:40 for a 2k. Lesson is...higher damper is not all that good for me.

#181
I think you included the answer to your own question in your question.
"I get that you can drive more weight using this technique than you could from a simple shoulder press or push press, but it seems to me that you're doing so using technique to offset that greater weight. In other words, if you were interested in developing functional strength rather than a technique to move more mass..."
Functional strength is that combination of raw strength and technique that is called upon by the push jerk. Without the technique you would be be doing a push press(which has its own technical aspects) and a 'kinda' overhead squat(more like a stand up though).
The technique used in the PJ takes some practice and work, but that is why we do it. I hope that helps.

THE LAST 2 @ 195 WERE KIND OF A SPLIT JERK BUT I WAS HAPPY WITH IT!

ALL SETS WERE UNBROKEN WITHOUT BAR DROPS. I WAS PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THE WEIGHT I PUT UP TOBAY.

DEVIL BOY SAID PUSH MORE... ANGEL GIRL SAID STOP BEFORE YOU DO YOUR SHOULDER...I LISTENED TO ANGEL GIRL...SHE'S MUCH BETTER LOOKING.

HEY JUDE

TUCSON, AZ.

Even though my shoulders are killing me (I've got to find a rowing machine), I felt good about these #s:
135, 145, 150 (PR), 140, 145

Almost as important, I never hear folks talk about supplements. What does everyone else do other than the Zone diet. I generally have a pre-workout energy drink (Black Powder) and a post workout Protein Shake. But, I feel like this may not be the best way to do it considering some workouts are heavy weight and some are heavy cardio. Any thoughts or feedback on this would be great!

I could tell my weight was shifting too far forward for the 155's and took a step forward for balance, but the power was much better this time overall and I think the form is getting there (not quite though).

The bigger issue for me was the 170# where I failed because I couldn't even do a clean to get the bar in the right position. I'm struggling to get my 6'7 frame under the bar. That being said, I was struggling to power hang clean 85# about 3 weeks ago, so it's still leaps and bounds better than before. I just don't want my potential in other lifts to be limited because of this. Any thoughts on how to address other than keep at it?

Only second time doing push jerk, so working on form.

in kgs 40/50/60/60/60

Chose to do front squats for 3's today and worked up to a tough 241, I'm not sure what my PB is for this movement.

At about 221 OPT said I should focus more on 3 quicker, more consecutive reps as opposed to what I was doing, which was pausing too long between reps, so that changed things considerably. He made the point that by doing a faster set there would be a better transfer to my other WODs (like Elizabeth) so I worked more on the 3 quick reps instead of just truely working on strength. I played with push jerks between sets and it wasn't feeling too hot.

Post-tabata mash of K2E and 1.5 pd kb swings. I don't remember my numbers but my forearms are smoked. Good working with the FitzGerald brothers today, fun environment!

How is it going everyone? I am new to crossfit and I have been doing the wods for about 2 weeks now. My question for everyone is. Does anyone take any supplements (eg. vitamins, protein, or pre-workout)? My goal is to lose body fat and lean out. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Me: 42yo/M/5'10"/172lbs/BF 11%

Warm Up: Basic Stretching focusing on shoulders. Push Jerk 95x10, 115x8, 125x6

WOD: Push Jerk

I am trying to push jerk with my elbows high and hand open at the starting position, like Coach B. teaches and Sage does in the PJ video but I feel "weaker" with this hand position so I end up holding the bar solidly with a hook grip with the bar just off of my shoulders and my elbows pushed up against the sides of my lats/torso. Does anyone else use this position at the start of the rep?

Have Fun, Train Hard,

First time doing Push Jerk, you see I upped my weight on 3rd set and my form deteriorated, and I figured form was more important at this point. When I upped the weight it turned into a push press not a jerk and I started to rock up on my toes, is that a sign of something wrong with my form? Also I didn't have a power rack so I have to clean what I was jerking and I'm pretty sure my max military press is less than my max clean.
I also felt like my abs were being neglected so I did come glute hamstring developer(sit ups?) I did them on the incline sit up board bc they have no roman chair. anybody got tips for how to construct some manner of glute hamstring developer sit up thingy? I have plenty of swiss balls and stair steppers and benches to choose from.
Charlatan 6 out!

Can't do a push jerk so I settled for push press. 55x3, 65x3, 70x3, 75x3, 80x1, 75x3.

I practiced the whole clean and push jerk, up to 145lbs X 3. I could have gone a little heavier, but I can't drop a missed lift at the gym I was working at.
I have no dorsiflexion so I lose out on the whole vicious triple extension of the hips, knees and ankles in these power moves. The dip drive puts me on my toes, so I lose power through the whole damn chain (It is only therefore a mild double extension of the hip and knee).
The "working wounded" article is inspirational.
Anyone else with similar orthopedic limitations?

Form was a little jacked on that one. Need to work on those.

Then:
Jones Crawl
10 x Deadlift @ 115% Bodyweight +
25 x 24'' Box Jump
Three rounds for time

4:51 @ 225# Deadlift

My PR for this workout is 4:39. I changed up my box jumping technique for a faster cycle time so that I could beat the Gym Jones record of 4:28 (also done with 225#), but it backfired on me and ended up slowing me down halfway through.

Push press felt awesome at 245, so I went for 265 and it was a bit of a struggle. Still - a 10 pound PR and I can't even remember how long it's been - probably close to 2 years and 10 pounds heavier! Felt awesome to lock it out!

Then we decided to do 3 rounds of 400m sprints. I have to thank Joel and Matt for being such great runners - gave me something to shoot for.

KEEP IN MIND - the 400m at CrossFit Fredericton goes like this: Up a dirt hill, 90 degree turn, 100+ feet down a gravel driveway, 90 degree turn, straight road, turn around, straight road, 90 degree turn, gravel driveway, 90 degree turn, down a dirt hill.

We definitely need to plan a field trip to a real track to test our 400m. We also need to plan a field trip to Kingswood Gymnastics. Nick said they have an open class on Monday nights - so stay tuned!

The Kool Aid is just fine!

This is my first time doing push jerks, and I have a question; on some of my later sets, I kept landing deeper down, to the point that the exercise resembled a partial OHS. Is this normal, or is there supposed to be a standard about how deep one can go when landing, before standing up. I hope that made sense.

3rd week of Crossfit. I love this stuff and it is helping me mentally and physically get back into shape. I ran 2 marathons 2 years ago (4:13 and 4:30) and gave up everything last year and got badly out of shape after a slipped L4 diagnosis. I will be back.

1x3 95 form ok
4x3 135 form not ok

Will practice A LOT more w/ bar only and also get my strength up before trying something heavy. I love reading the comments, whether related to CF or not.

Nicole and Jodi: I hate to say it but I'm relieved that I wasn't the only one who was off tonight. Misery loves company :)

Seriously I don't know what was going on with me tonight. 15 at least pounds off of my PR of 135 x 1

Warm up:
Presses: 10 x 45, 6 x 65
Push Press: 6 x 65
Push Jerk: 5 x 95

x3 Jerks:
105, 115, 120 x 2 (dropped it, cleaned it, dropped the weight x5) 115, 115

then some work on technique with light weight. 95 I think

I was having major issues with receiving the bar after the first rep after 115. It hurts so much that it makes it hard to reset the bar for the following reps. Anyone else have this problem?

I want to get it up so I can do Grace with 135 and Jerk the weight up for my OHS. I shouldn't be able to OHS 45# or clean 30# more than I can jerk.

Thanks for trying to help me Mike P.

AllisonNYC comment 444,

What hurts on the receiving portion of the rep, your chest/clavicles or your wrists? If it's your chest/clavicles, get your elbows further forward/upward when you are receiving, this makes the bar hit the meat of your shoulder rather than the bony prominence of the medial portion of your clavicle. If it's your wrists, getting your elbows through quicker helps with the angle of the wrist. Let me know if this helps.

Have Fun, Train Hard,

Billy

This one beat me up, literally...

3rd WOD ever - first time doing the lift.

I reviewed almost all the videos last night for form. Then did a bunch of no-bar practices to figure out how the motion feels.

After a CF wu, I practiced multiple reps with a 25lb bar, then a 45lb bar.

Then for real:
3 x 95
3 x 105
3 x 115 (fairly uncomfortable)
1 x 115 (I was getting tired in the rack position, so I remembered hearing something about putting elbows forward. This put the bar further under my chin so when I started the jerk, I clocked my jaw hard - left a nice gash and bruise).
3 x 95 (finish easy)
3 x 95

By the end, my left forearm was aching pretty good. Any ideas why? How wide should the grip be? My thought was that mine was too wide and it was canting the wrists inward in the up position and straining the forearm as I gripped for my life.

Oh well, I think I need to do more broom jerks for form practice.

double under practice during 4 minute rests.

Decided to switch up from the WOD today. I wanted to continue the metabolic conditioning from the day before and add the weightlifting portion as well. Normally, I would finish this five day stint with a gymnastics day tommorrow but, my body is saying it's time for a rest. Anyway here is what I came up with first thing this morning:

Three rounds for time:
500m Row
135lb Power Clean (21, 15 and 9 reps)

Started the clock immediately before the first pull and stopped it after the last rep of the last round. Time includes transition and any pauses or rest.

Warmed up with 3 X 6 Pull-ups (Strict form, no kipping).

First Round:
500m Row 1:48.8
21 Power Cleans (135lbs)
Time: 4:35

Second Round:
500m Row 1:48.8
15 Power Cleans (135lbs)
Time: 8:41 (cumulative)

Third Round:
500m Row 1:47.0
9 Power Cleans (135lbs)
Time: 11:29 (Total time)

Cooled down with 3 X 6 Pull-ups (Strict form, no kipping) and 15 minutes of rowing (3,520m).

Have a nice rest day!

Lex, the answer to question is best answered, I think, with the concept of Power. Think of Power as one part load, one part speed. Speed is an integral part of power that is largely missing with a pure strength move like the shoulder press. Power is highly transferrable and required in the functional sense.

Secondly, the Push Jerk allows for a larger load than the Push Press, so there's the other part of the equation. So even though the SP may train strength primarily, and the PJ power primarily, the additional load that the PJ allows for should contribute significantly toward strength by itself. That's the gist of it. There's a CFJ article that better explains why the Push Jerk is the most beneficial and functionally superior movement of all 3 (SP/PP/PJ).

Good post, explains a bit of why by my 5th set my feet were made of clay. The extra power from the PJ sneaks up and saps you. Sets of 5 would have wrecked me at those weights.

a day behind... as rx'd

3 reps, 5 sets...
180 for 1 set
then 4 sets at 190

This is my third day doing Crossfit (I'm one day behind) and I've never done a push jerk before. It was pretty fun once I got the hang of it. Started with a baseball bat for form, went to the bar, worked up in 10 lb. increments to 80 lbs. Biggest challenge was cleaning it as I got to the end. I know, I'm such a weak little girl... I'm 27 y.o. female 5'4" 120 lbs. So:
80x3
80x3
80x2 and lost it inches from the top on 3
80x3
80x2 and again almost hit 3 but had to drop it

Man my back is sore... in a good way.

Kind of underestimated myself going into this one. I felt so strong at the end that I went ahead and set a new 1 rep PR of 215. A pretty big jump up from my previous best of 175.

Some of these were pushed a bit. I find this lift frustrating because I can push press more than this. Also, I don't feel like there is much of a jump happening.

I thought Rip's video was exceptional. Using his hand to show exactly where the lifting focus should be really helped, and since he said this applies to all squats, I was able to apply this to thrusters and really felt it helped my form.
