Jerk Tip: Control the Dip
In the Jerk, there is so much emphasis on speed and explosiveness that many people forget you must be stable before you can be fast. The dip of the jerk should be slow and controlled. If the barbell leaves your shoulders when you dip, you are moving too fast! Work with the bar to guide it down as you would with a heavy squat. Drive up hard, and then split with lightning speed.
