About

Press the barbell from your shoulders to overhead using full-body power

How to Barbell Push Jerk

Starting Position

1. Hold the barbell in front of your shoulders and place your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Engage your core and prepare with your chest open.

Proper Form

1. Slightly bend your knees and hips to gather strength in your lower body.

2. Push your legs strongly to press the barbell overhead, fully extending your arms to stabilize it.

3. Again, slightly bend your knees to absorb the impact and lower the barbell to shoulder height.

Breathing Technique

Inhale when bending your lower body, and exhale when pushing the barbell upward.

Precautions

1. Don't choose excessive weight, and always learn the correct posture and bar path first.

2. Keep your core tight to prevent your back from bending, and ensure your feet and knees stay aligned in the same direction.
