Dan is old fashioned. Member 27, 2028 posts SQ 240, BP 170, DL 255 665.0 kgs @ 102kgs UnEq	Max strict press 115kg. Max push press 120kg - on the grounds that I can't clean any more than that and can't seem to push press when I pick up from a rack. Need to start training cleans, then push press, very soon.

Member 194, 3976 posts	WILLSAN said: not sure what you mean? the reason I suggest it is that, although you can press out a power jerk, it doesnt really work that well so it teaches you to rely on your leg drive to get it up. I couldnt push press for s**t until I put in about 6 months on jerks. after that my pushies shot up. What I mean is, in working the squat to a decent level as the oly boys do, they ensure when it comes to a jerk there is no doubt that the legs can provide enough explosive force to move the bar. If for e.g your trying to push press 140kgs - strict presses and bw all being the same, but one guy squats 180 x 5 and the other squats 250 x 5 paused for 2 seconds in the hole and driven up stupidly fast - well who will have the most force generation through thier feet and hips? Don't get me wrong I see your point and I agree with it, jerks will help you use the ole leg drive - but developing the leg drive in the first place is oft what people neglect to think of - Squats, so beautiful - truly the king of lifts (when done raw, ass to grass and not homo high lol

I always thought the squatting was to help the cleans for oly lads rather than the jerks?

Push presses too yet not so much since you have more shoulders and tri's involved! Recently i managed to improve my jerks and front squats at the same time, while my back squat hasnt moved much. I feel like training the paused back squat though, there's a fella called Taranenko who said they're good. Maybe i should give'em a bash!
