Clean n Jerk: this is my first experience with the C&J, felt pretty good, a little awkward in the beginning, watched 4 or 5 videos first.

I’ve looked and looked and can’t find video on Crossfit situps.  All i know is 8 min abs.  Would anyone be kind enough to point me in the right direction?  Thank you.

I’m not clear what you are looking for.

Are you looking for instruction on sit-ups in general:

Not a video, but the question is covered in the Main Sites FAQ’s.

Power Clean and Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

110-130-140-150-160-160-170(F)

Question: On one of the 160s I had a slight bobble on the clean from not quite getting one elbow under the bar fast enough. Should I count that as a failed lift?

yea today was my first day ever doing clean and jerk.  i think it went well. a little werid at first but get it down ok.  the only problem is i cant get the kick out or when u go from shoulders to the finsh postion. do you have to spread your legs when going up to the finsh postion or can u just keep your feet shoulder with? thanks

If I catch you correctly, you are having trouble achieving the Split position during your Jerk, yes?

The Spilt Jerk is not required for this WOD, so keeping you feet about shoulder width for the Jerk is acceptable.  This is called a “Push Jerk”.

The Split Jerk takes a little practice in order to train your muscles to take your feet/legs to the proper position while diving under the bar.  For most people it does prove to be a little more useful because at heavy weights it doesn’t require quite as much flexibility and balance as does the Push Jerk.

If you are interested in learning it, I would suggest starting with PVC or just the bar and check out these vids:

Clean-and-Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

I have never done a clean-and-jerk before, so I did this one for form: 5x25#, 5x35#, 5x35#.

Started from the floor each time, finally felt like I was getting the hang of the clean after about five of these.  I actually ended up needing to dump once (after moving up to 35#) because I was off-balance on the jerk half.  This is a much more complicated motion than it seems!

Push jerk felt a LOT more stable than split-jerk, so after trying a few each way, I stuck with the push jerk.  This could just be because there was a push jerk workout last week and I’m more familiar with it, so I’m going to try the split-jerk again next time it comes around.

I have been dealing with a shoulder problems. Overhead presses, push-us, and dips all aggravate the heck out of my shoulders. The clean part i can get a lot more up than I can jerk right now. Should I make 2 different excersizes?
