“It’s not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but rather the most adaptive to change.” – Charles Darwin
There’s a reason why we are still here on Earth. We adapted.
Yet the very thing that pushed us to where we are today, we find ourselves avoiding. We avoid, as human beings, challenges. We would much rather be comfortable, cozy, and safe. Now we aren’t going to let loose predators chase us around, but if we truly want to find that next best version of ourselves… We know we need to get uncomfortable.
When we find ourselves struggling today, take a step back. Realize for just a moment, in the uncomfortable mess that we are in, that this is us… getting better. If we can re-wire ourselves to embrace those sweaty, painful, often embarrassing moments… We can go wherever we want to go.
Split Jerk
Split Jerk
Build To A Heavy Triple
– Barbell should be taken from a rack or blocks.
– If using blocks, take up to 10 seconds of rest between each split jerk. If using a rack, you’ll need to bring the bar back down to the shoulders each rep.
– Rest as needed between each triple attempt.
– Enter heaviest triple.
Prep
– Perform 3-5 warmup sets before first attempt at heavy triple.
