Once learned, it's difficult NOT to use the Split jerk as the preferred method for going overhead. The wod calls for Push press, your body wants to Split jerk- who wins? If you aren't dialed in you'll be thinking Push press, and still Split jerk occurs. 

Why? Because the Split jerk is the most efficient of the three overhead lifts. Our bodies know it too, and if we're on auto pilot the probability is even higher.

Great job everyone. Monster lifts Megan, and Russell. You are both super strong! Caitlin, Cole, Klare, Tommy, and Quincy- excellent work. The Split jerk is the last of the three overhead lifts, and you all are killing it!  

The Split jerk, like the other "O" lifts, also has a beautiful aesthetic value and when it's "on" things are moving smoothly, the bar feels lighter than usual, and you are in the zone. Conversely, when things are not "on", we struggle to get dialed in, maybe over think things a little too much- instead of taking a little walk away, smacking the power pole, and staying focused and relaxed.

Very good work puppies: Alan, Helen, Joan, and Juan- Push jerk. Locked. Now, just keep practicing. Split jerk next.
