Focus: All aspects of the jerk from strength to technique

This 8-week cycle focuses on improving your jerk from all angles: specific and general strength, technique and confidence.

You will still train the snatch and clean/clean & jerk like a normal cycle; the jerk is just the primary focus.

Hold all jerks in split 2-3 seconds to maximize benefit.
