A few of us in the 4:30 yesterday were discussing the elbow position of the split jerk and push jerk. Garth liked to see the elbows in a push press position and I thought they should be closer to the front squat position. Turns out Coach Chris is an adiot and was wrong. The G.O.A.T was at the Olympic lifting cert this weekend and re-enforced Garth's stance that the elbows should be in a push press height so you can get more of that vertical drive.
We will go over the split jerk again next week so I can make sure to correct the coaching flaw I gave some of you. Sorry about that.
