How To Perform the Push Jerk

  1. Start with the barbell on your shoulders in a front rack position, feet shoulder-width apart, and core engaged.
  2. Dip your knees slightly by bending them while keeping your torso upright.
  3. Explosively extend your hips and knees to drive the barbell upwards.
  4. As the barbell rises, quickly dip under it by bending your knees and catching it overhead with fully extended arms.
  5. Stand up fully with the barbell overhead, ensuring your arms are locked out and core is tight.
  6. Lower the barbell back to the front rack position to complete the repetition.

  • Ensure your elbows are slightly in front of the barbell in the starting position.
  • Practice the movement with light weights to master form before increasing load.
