Carie splits her jerk
Yesterday we talked about feet and hand positioning. The split jerk demands fast feet and fast hands. Olympic style weightlifters train the split to increase there maximum load. That usually alway involves training the same foot forward. Should we as CrossFit athletes do the same? Maybe, or maybe we should train either foot forward. While working our jerks a few days ago, Pat and myself noticed that we both seemed faster and more stable with our weak foot forward. Why do you think this is?
