180306 - Tips Tuesday - Press/Push Press/Jerk?

We have three ways to get the barbell from our shoulder to overhead!
PRESS - Using only your arms, the bar is pressed directly overhead.
PUSH PRESS - The lift is initiated with a "dip and drive" or bounce of the legs to get the bar off of the shoulders and continued upward immediately following by the arms pressing overhead.
PUSH JERK - Again, the lift starts with a quick bounce in the legs followed by a press overhead with the arms, but this time, the legs bend again through the press to get underneath the bar before the arms fully extend. 
SPLIT JERK - This is just a different way to jerk and is an easier way to get as low as possible under the bar, especially when the overhead position is limited by mobility.
