Split Jerk Overview

A dynamic Olympic lift designed to develop explosive power, strength, and coordination by lifting a barbell overhead in a split-legged stance.

Muscles Worked

Equipment Needed

Barbell

How To Perform the Split Jerk

  1. Start with your feet hip-width apart and the barbell resting on your shoulders, gripping it slightly wider than shoulder-width.
  2. Engage your core and take a deep breath, then dip your knees slightly to prepare for the lift.
  3. Explosively extend your knees and hips to drive the barbell upward, simultaneously splitting your legs into a lunge position (one foot forward and one foot back).
  4. Catch the barbell overhead with arms fully extended and stabilize your body.
  5. Bring your feet back together under the barbell in a controlled manner to complete the lift.
  6. Lower the barbell back to your shoulders safely and prepare for the next repetition.
