Fix Your Jerk With This Progression

Jerks are a great exercise to incorporate into a strength training program. If your new to weightlifting or want to revisit a few steps below is my progression.

 Make sure you have mobility in your shoulder joint and flexibility in your lats prior to performing behind the neck lifts. Here is my progression:

1. Behind the neck press with a PVC pipe

2. Behind the neck press with a bar

3. Behind the neck jerk with a bar

4. Bar press in front of the face

5. Bar jerk in front

6. Bar split jerk
