Some lifters have trouble with how they percieve they move when performing the classical lifts. The jerk catch in particular. Of course individual limb lengths, asymmetries, and styles etc. will play a part in your catch position. There are some fundamentals I like though. that front shin should be perpendicular to the ground, the hips must be squared, and that back leg should have a bend in it. That’s house we derive support.

We have issues when we try to cue an athlete to change something but then the athlete, doesn’t seem to be able to fix the issue. It’s like they feel they are doing something well when in fact they may be doing the opposite of what we’re after. (And vice versa)

DC and Andy came up with a little proprioceptive drill to make us understand our own jerks better.

Key tips are to check our shins, back legs and hips so we’re are in good positions. From there just play with it!

Thanks DC and Luis!! Crossfit Lower Mountains

PS. I’m sorry for the sound quality I promise I’ll buy a mic & fix that ASAP

Also I was jerking right foot forward so rather than my regular jerk, so my step back together was very weird.
