1 Hand Jerk Thoughts

Strongman Archaeology

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear." - 1 Peter 3:15  Closer look at the two Rack positions l used on yesterday's One Hand Jerks. Bent Press set up is not only prone to shifting off base of support, but is also lower than when the bar is racked on top of the shoulder. Of course it IS possible to Jerk big weights using a Bent Press set-up though l think there will be more misses than made lifts. 98½lb used. God Bless.  #jesussaves #strongman_archaeology #oldtimestrongman #onehandcleanandjerk #oldschoolweightlifting
