Push jerk

Push jerk
3,3,3,3,3.

The badly drawn diagram from the whiteboard was the depiction of how the spine loads under stress, and how we need to prepare the torso for these lifts, trying to ensure that we keep the ribcage down, by tensing the core, (really this would be thought of as the abs, but people tend to think of this region as just the six pack area, when in actual fact we're working deeper than just the surface, using the transverse abdominus to stabilise the region in our lift) The preparation of this area, whilst still aiming to get our head through the window, is crucial for sucessful lifting, and avoidance of excessive stress on the upper lumbar region.
