On behalf of all east coasters, thank you for the early post!

Push Jerks? Don't mind if I do. Love the early post.

love the ME days, thanks coach!!

Is there any workout that does'nt use shoulders??

Cant wait to get started

loving the eary post.
liking the shoulder workouts.

never done these before. just started CrossFit today and loved the helena wod. what would a good starting weight be on a push jerk?

im 22/m/150/6

been lifting for about two years but have never done this exercise.

any advice?

Out of curiosity, why do we always see push jerks instead of split jerks?

Total lack of lift techniques here...

I'll try to do my best and watch some vids.

Loving the early post too.

Thanks for the early post. Good question about lack of split jerks.

I am sooo diggin the CF Journal. Can't believe I've given NASM over $2,700 and I've gotten more out of the $25 CFJ in the past 3 months than NASM has given me in the past 5 years! I'M NOT KIDDING!

I'm confused, do I push one jerk 7 times?
or should I find 7 separate jerks and push
them once each? I know a lot of jerks.
I might even PR on this one.

Find 7 separate jerks; much more fulfilling. Ditto thanks on the early post, and I love heavy lifting days.

#7 Adam,

practice the movements that have a higher level of coordination, like the push jerks, before adding intensity (load in this case).

GREAT POSTS! Very funny BobNJ.

new to the workouts. do the reps mean just 7 sets of 1 with as much weight as you can do, or something else.

#4 al deezy, and #12 BobNJ,

Thanks for the laugh! I should read these more often.

Adam - Welcome. Great to see more new Crossfitters starting their new life. Feel free to ask away with any questions you might have, but always check the website for videos and FAQ that will definitely help you as you start the journey. Start low on the weight, you can always go heavier...

Does anyone know the "COMPARE TO" date?

Yay for heavy lifting. All of this training out of my comfort zone stuff was starting to get to me ;) Kidding.

Did a GHD Hip Extension, Sit-ups thing tonight:
20, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20 of each every set.
Then did a 10-1 Ball Slam 20#, push-up, shoulder roll thing too.

After the cleans, before Helen.

looking forward to this tomorrow after killing Helen today. Definitely pushing for a personal record. Feeling really strong in the shoulders lately.

Anyone else have slow load times on the vids?

To answer #16,
Total number of reps for the entire WOD is 7. Start with a moderate weight and then work up to your max wieght for the Push Jerk. Look at the Demo section to see Sage do the proper Push Jerk. You can go split feet or keep your feet together. Spliting is a little easier than keeping your feet together. And to answer another question shoulders are worked alot. 3-2-1 Go.

#14 and #18

Thanks for the info. I have also looked throughout the website and love the information given and the whole concept of CrossFit. This website is just loaded with info. After lifting for about 2 years I am in very good shape. I leave for the U.S. Marine Corps in January and currently my PFT is 280 out of 300. I am now addicted to CrossFit and will be following the WOD's. I look foward for tomorrows PT. Glad to be apart of this community.

new to the cf do you just perform the wod and then are done the rest of the day or is the wod in addition to your normal workout

#12
How do you know if they are jerks? Maybe they are just misunderstood.

Gymnastics cert- Just went to it over the weekend at CrossFit Fire in Lakemoor IL.
I have to say, very enlightening. I now believe the gymnastics aspect of CrossFit is AS important to emphasize as the deadlift is. Jeff Tucker did a great job putting out information and making sure we understood and we were safe with all movements. And for some reason I cannot get Kelly Moore off of my mind.....

Oh yeah Helen 9:01 RX (running against a north wind.)

Hi all,

I have been somewhat of a bodybuilder for the last 10 years and considered myself strong until I discovered CrossFit. Individually I can lift quite a lot, but give me a workout like fran and it leaves me in awe of these guys that are doing it in the 2-3 minute region. My background as a Physical Trainer in the Royal Australian Airforce required me to be pretty fit in a broad range of aspects but I guess this highlights the accuracy of the CFJ article 'What is Fitness'. Since getting involved with Crossfit, I have done a 180 on just about everything I have believed in for the last 10 years; and the beauty of it all is that I have a new lease of excitement towards my training and making progress in a direction that actually translates to improving my day to day activities.

By the way, results for today
70kg,70kg,70kg,70kg,70kg,70kg,70kg.

What happened to deadlifts? Maybe a 'Diane' or 3RM day coming up?

Ha! I thought it was Tuesday, so I did the WOD a little early.

40kg, 40, 49, 55, 60, 60 (weak), 60 (fail)

I'm getting back into CF after a long break, so I have a lot of catching up to do.

I'm farely new to crossfit and have just a couple of questions about today's WOD if someone could help me out.

When it says : "1-1-1-1-1-1-1" does that mean to do seven sets of a 1 rep max-weight?

and

I have never done this exercise before. I'm watching lots of videos and actually practiced a bit with a broom stick. What's a good weight to start at without "killing/hurting" myself? I'll take any and all suggestions. Thanks

Swanny,

Read 1.1 under the F.A.Q. link to get your answer. When you have time I suggest you read all the FAQ's. It reads rather quickly.

Felt pretty good on all attempts. Really thought I would get 210#, but my drop needs some work. My knees didn't want to bend for some weird reason. Enough of of my crying...

My pull-ups are no longer improving and it has me very discouraged. All other areas are improving; just not my pull-ups. I've been stuck at about 15 strict pull-ups for about a month or so now. Anyone have some words of wisdom or advice? I'm thinking I need to do more pull-ups more often(maybe everyday) and not just when they are in the WOD. What do you all think?

i am new to crossfit, is the 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 just one rep at each weight and done? is this a fast workout? or am i doing 7 reps 7 times at different weights? sorry i havent picked it up in the other posts yet

#41 aaron

had the same problem for a while. what I did was exagerate my range of motion. I pulled up exposively touching my sternum to the bar then came down a little slower than usual and repeat. I did that in every WOD that required pull-ups for about a month and when I came back to normal and kipping pullups I was bullet proof. pullup max went from 16 to 25.

whats the "compare to" date on this?

Yes when any of the work outs are posted and they have a unified set, (for example todays 7 sets of 1), you would start at a manageable lower weight and work up to a higher weight, one rep at a time, seven times. The object being on the final set you are either going for a PR or a weight that is challenging. You do not want to fail on your first set, but rather set up the last set to be the toughest.

As for a starting weight I would recommend using the Oly Bar considering its your time. You say you have been using a broom stick so you must be getting a good feel for the lift, progress to the OLY bar and scale the weight appropriately; meaning don't jump from 45lbs bar to 135lbs on the next set. Slowly work your way and you will be lifting big weights in no time. Good Luck and Go get em!

BRING THE PAIN.... One of my fav work outs.... got a rookie under my wing and teaching him the ropes... I love the looks on his face reminds me of the first time I did XFIT!!

That is so true what Tanya said about gymnastics. most of us lack that coordination in those movements. i always believed that if you get the movement down the strength would come, so a gymnast will have a slight advantage coming in to me. So my wife and i have started our two year old in gymnastics and she loves it. her one year old sister tries the movements also so it will be interesting bringing them up as crossfit Kids. They'll be smoking mom and me in the wods in a couple of years. but i couldn't be any prouder.

EGADS. I don't like pushing jerks my size.
Does anyone know of workshops in Oly lifts
in the New York Metro area? I'm definitely at
the weights where my crap form is getting in
the way. A wiser man than myself once said,
"practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent".
I worry that in teaching myself form, I'm cementing
some really bad habits.

This is my first time doing this exercise since high school! Warmed up with 135lbs for 6 reps, then 4 reps. Did 185lbs for all sets of 1. I was quite honestly afraid to push the weight higher without perfecting my form more. I'm now in week 2 of my crossfit journey and loving every minute!

I really noticed the negative with the heavier loads. Bringing 190 back down slowly, to the shoulders before racking the weight, is a struggle as the muscles fatigue in the latter sets

Yesterday was a travel day after my level on cert. I had to do Helen
did it in 12:36 but went to jumping pullups with very slow negative.
Then did push jerk with my new and improved form. I only wanted to do the bar but I could not contain my enthusasim.

The sad thing about that article is that is was written by a "fitness professional" so uneducated readers will believe what it says and then wonder why nothing works for them and go back and eat a donut.

135,155,155,165,175,175. Just realized I shorted myself a set. Damn. I could have probably done 190 or so. I'll start at 185 next time. I tried 135 fromt the front and found it tough. I will have to work on that technique I guess. Hurt dropping that weight back to my neck. Hit the L7 on last two sets. OUCH.

Too much snow in driveway to do helen so i decided to go balls out on
1 rd of FGB, i got 152
which is a huge pr, but hanging on to the last 2 rounds would be tough, goal for rd 2 is 125 and rd 3 is 115, which would put me at 392.

ok, so i definitely need to invest in a rack. cleaning before pressing got me good and tired. i like these heavy days, and regret not making them a routine part of my training until the last couple of weeks. hope to see some nice payoffs in the faster wods.

started way too low, as this was my first time attempting this:

135, 155, 175, 185, 185, 205 (fail--i need to invest in some 5# weights as well, so i can increase by 10#'s instead of 20#!!) 185

That 205 clean beat me up pretty good, and i think i mostly psyched myself out on the jerk attempt. felt really good at 185.

28/m/140

Hotel "gym" has no weights with which to do push jerks. Subbed HSPUs in sets of 3.

3-3-3-3-3-3-3 HSPU, all reps nose to floor.

29/m/63kg

Working on technique. My lack of shoulder flexiblity limits my ability to hold the bar back in the correct position overhead. Slowly but surely my shoulders are beginning to open up but i really have to fight to keep my chest down and prevent myself from leaning back, hard to break years of bad habits!

Push press:
40/40/45/45/45/45/45kg

Doing crossfit for about a month now:

135, 155, 185(f), 160, 170, 175(PR), 185(PR)

I think I could have jerked more but I don't have a rack and couldn't clean more than 185. I've got to start working on improving my clean. Any other ideas?

First Day!

Have never done this exercise, so I am afraid it was more press than jerk, but:

1x115
1x135
1x145
1x155
1x155f
1x145
1x145

Felt good, I think once I get the hang of the technique, the weight may go up.

Want to keep working on what I learned about HSPUs at Tucker's cert this weekend and continuing my quest for a sub 10 minute Righteous Double Bodyweight Dead Stop Diane:

10 sets of full ROM HSPUs using 12" stools with top of head touching floor. 1 minute break between sets:

8 sets of 4 reps
2 sets of 3 reps

I was trying for 10 sets of 4 reps, but just could not do so. Pulled a muscle between my shoulder blades on the last rep of the last set.

Whenever I have trouble getting under the bar in a Push movement, it typically involves one of two things: I either have allowed my elbows to drift behind the bar or I'm not pressing directly upward for some other reason. Not sure if this helps, but fatigue can certainly cause loss of form, as we all know too well.

Hope this might help ~

These felt more like push presses than push jerks; I think I have an inherent fear of locking out my shoulders at the top and having them dislocate (forward hyperflexion, I guess). Still, not a bad showing for me -

New PR felt good, though it was more of a push press than a push jerk. I'm afraid of having to dump the regular olympic weights at the gym if I miss. Leads me to believe that I could do a fair amount more once I have my own bumpers at home. Working on jumping MUs now that I have the fitness coordinator on my side, and I can bring my rings and KBs to the gym too! Nice...

I can't believe this woman calls herself a fitness professional. I really thought that this was a joke at first. My favorite thing is when she's talking about squats, and she says "It did not look cute" What is that??? I am going back to post a comment; that is complete crap.

Videotaped each jerk and analyzed form between attempts. First time attemting a 1 rep max on the push jerk. Previous 5 rep max was 140lbs. Do not think I approached a true max today but was ecstatic enough to jump up and down when I hit 160(my goal for today)

First time for a push jerk! Form was pretty awful, I believe, and I'm not really sure I worked the right muscles. Started too light, but I figured it was okay since this was my first time for it!

Worked up to an iffy 201 and packed it in, weight not that comfortable overhead just now. I absolutely cranked myself in the chin at 197, which is a real first for me, so I guess that answers the question 'can Aucoin take a punch?'

Really focused on quicker dip and drive, better set-up for the arms and keeping that torso vertical. Next step is no donkey kick and better lockout.

Post WOD - 50 HSPU for time in 7:04. Brutal, that's only 5 reps more than Diane and my PB for that is around 4:30. Obviously this is a movement I've been neglecting!

I STRAINED MY RIGHT HIP FLEXOR GETTING UP 210!!! ONCE OVERHEAD AND TRYING TO MAINTAIN BALANCE I STARTED FALLING BACKWARDS AND TIGHTENED MY CORE QUICKLY TO AVOID DROPPING THE WEIGHT. WHEN I DID, IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE STABBED ME IN MY HIP. ANYONE EVER DONE THE SAME THING BEFORE?

135, 165, 185, 205(f), 185, 185, 135x4 for form.

These felt really good today - except lowering the weight at the higher numbers was sometimes a struggle. No bumpers - not dropping it - so I bring it back to the shoulders and re-rack.

Weird day. Only second time working push jerk, still feeling really unstable with high weights overhead. I felt i should be able to throw up some pretty heavy weight but was proven wrong as the more weight i put on the more i tried to push press it.

Warm up and workout as follows:
bar x 3
135 x 2
185 x 2

205
225 (slight push press)
225 (slight push press)
225 (slight push press)
135 x 2 for form
185 x 2 for form

Unhappy with only working form for the day, so ended up doing "Cheif" afterward:

5 x 3 min rounds, max sets per round, 1 min rest between rounds of:
3 hang cleans (135#)
6 pushups
9 squats with broomstick overhead

Set 1: 3
Sets 2-5: 4 each
Total sets: 19 (57 hang cleans, 114 pushups, 171 squats)

Smoked at the end though! Nice day overall.

Decided not to do this WOD today. Decided to go dear hunting. Got a 5 point buck... Feel just as tired as if I had done the WOD. I had to drag that buck out of the woods and then deadlift him into the back of our truck. And then again when I got home. Good stuff....

All loads from ground, used deadlift to hanging power clean to push jerk.

I need to keep better reords, but I know with no doubt that this is the most I've ever put up. No way my core muscles or overall body strength would have allowed me to do this several months ago. I will be a CrossFitter for life and will continue to introduce others to it.

26/f/5'2/130#

goodness wakin up i felt like crap from Monday nite's Fight Gone Bad. today buddy Tim found me early in the run so only did:
warm-up run 17 minutes = 2.31 miles
so that we could hit this WOD together. warm-up push jerks; 5x55#, 5x75#, 5x95#, 4x115#

WOD:
Push Jerk, 7x1
135(3)-150-155-160-165(pr)-170(f)-170(f)

bleah. didn't channel enuf on the 170. got it up off the shoulders but didn't commit, didn't drop under. Tim also almost stuck the 170. he actually got it almost locked out, but not quite.

post: work on Tim's L-sits, hollow rock, straight-leg seated press, handstand,

then at nite hit up local affiliate Valley CrossFit

warm-up: "cross-eyed Annie"
50-40-30-20-10 rep rounds of:
criss-cross rope jumps
sit-ups
time = 15:40 frustratin as heck, those criss-crosses

and then a twist on the CF Games WOD:
amrap in 15 mins of
5 x deadlifts @ 1.5xbwt (195#),
10 x burpees
total = 12 rounds

ugh. hate reppin heavy deads. o well. it wuz a good workout!

Me: 42yo/M/5'10"/170lbs/10%BF

Warm Up: Some Stretching and some work on my "goats" and Push Jerk with 115x10, 135x6, 155x3.

Think I made the guys in the gym nervous as I dumped the bar a couple of times. They seem to think that the only weights that can be used are dumbbells for bicep curles. Their loss.

Good Fun

As required 55, 65, 65, 75, 85F, 65, 55.
I worked for form but could not get the 85#. This wod backed up for me. I seem to be going in the wrong direction. With my schedule lately I am working out (not with the crossfitters). I am doing the work outs on my own, as consistently as I can.

Like Fit Mom in CT said, it was a head game at my upper limit.

Same thing happened when I tried to hang power clean 95# in my "cool down". I could full squat clean it fine, but taking it from the hang is a headier game for me.

Awesome job to everyone jerking body weight+. That's great work!!

No bumper plates at the FD so I did a Filthy 50 variation. 1 minute of work follow by 1 minute of rest through all 10 movements, then again with 30 seconds of work and 30 seconds of rest then lastly with 15 seconds on and 15 seconds off. Counted reps the whole time. It was fun and interesting, not to mention 35 minutes long.

155,155,165,165,175,175,180,185,185, plus some other odds and ends. I know I can do more but get a little nervous as the weight increases. How do you ditch the weight on a push jerk if you're going to fail?

M/26/5'11"/178lbs.

185, 195, 205, 195, 215, 220, 185

Form over 195 was questionable -- definitely got the weight overhead and recovered to a full locked position, but there wasn't as much "snap" at the top.

What is the definition of a technically legal jerk anyway? Can there be a slight press at the end to get the weight overhead? Or is it a foul if the bar isn't fully snapped into position when you are in the split position?

Not as RX'd. Had serious time constraints, and only really had time to do a series of warm-up rounds before I had to go. Ended just at 135lb, but now that I feel like I'm finally starting to properly apply technique I think I could have done more. Looking forward to next time.

Technically all of these are PR's since its my first time ever push jerking, i have done split jerks before, and this beat my PR for that too.

I also worked up to a 3 rep max on bench. The most i have ever done is 245x3 which is what i thought i was doing today. When i pulled the weights off i checked again and i had done 265x3!!! This was awesome, i havent benched in 14 weeks and my max went up! I also started my 50 pull ups for 50 days today.

note to self, start at 150 and go higher next time

My techniques wasn't very good. It was actually my first time to really do jerks.

I worked my up to 175 lbs. I never actually got it up all the way on the jerk. I had about 2 inches left, but I just pushed it the rest of the way up like a military press.

Does that count. I did it that way twice.
Failed the third time.

CFWU - 3. Regular reps. Superman. Burgener.

135, 145, 155, 165, 175, 175, 175.
Last rep was best one of heavier reps. Not a good job catching on any reps. Much more of a push press.
