Ken Nowicki, 175kg BTN Jerk

Didn't get a chance to put this up yesterday as I was rushing around prepping for todays exam.

Here's the PB I hit yesterday. Was ok, but a bit slow:

Can't argue with that! Wicked.

strong lift

Pretty good but .................Why ?????

Just another overhead variation bro

ok ?? but will it make your log/axle numbers better ?? rep's an weight ??

train for what is coming not for numbers showing

Strong mate!
Very strong since there isn't a lot of second dip too.

I find it does, on axle for sure. If I'm putting bigger numbers up on the btn and front jerk my axle improves, and working on my fitness is helping my reps too.

Log is getting there, I need to work on the speed off the chest and if I'm jerking it dipping under. It's coming though.

Hey if it works for ya cool !!

I find BTN jerk more fun than a serious exercise to but by doing them it helps break up the routine and stops you going through the motions, adds some fun etc, gotta be good for motivation if nothing else?

Btw Ken Nice Jerk!

awesome

Variety! Training this lift, strict press, push press, push jerks, whatever else, will make you a better all around presser. If you only train for what is coming up than you lose out and get weaker or less technically sound on the other types you dont train. It is ok to put a little more emphasis on the one you may have in a contest, but I would never neglect the other presses just because I don't do them in my next show.

Good lift by the way Ken!

Superb !

That was so good i had to watch it twice.Of course it helps your other lifts,delts,tri's,leg drive,why wouldn't it?
Unofficial Scottish record.
