A little late on this post. We did Jerk on Friday. Basically dropping body down below the bar, while extending arms, then standing straight up. Supposed to allow for more weight than with Shoulder Press & Push Press.
My shoulder was not quite perfect when the workout started, and wasn't I lucky we got to do 30 of them. They suggest shoulder press weight + 30% for push press and an additional 30% for Jerk.
At this point we still haven't pushed ourselves to find our max (focusing on doing it right, rather than trying our hardest). That being the case, I stuck with the minimum I could (65 lbs). In my opinion it was too light for a decent workout, but I'm glad I did that. Shoulder felt weak and painful in certain positions all day Saturday. At some point on Sunday I noticed that it felt completely fine, no residuals at all.
I'll be heading out shortly for today's wod. We'll be working on Thrusters.
