Strength: Split Jerk
95x5, 135x1, 150x1, 165x1, 180x1, 200x1 PR, 210x1 PR
That was a huuuuge PR for me tonight. My previous PR was only 185 and it was back in June. I hadn't been heavy jerking for a while because it fell on my neck a while back and also my form had been super poor. I wanted to give it a try today though because I push pressed 160x5 with ease the other day and also 170 push jerk was going up easily. Anyway, 180 went up like it was nothing. Seriously it felt so easy that instead of taking it slow I went straight up to 200. It also went up fast but I had to stabilize it at the top. I went for 210 and failed the first two attempts. I slid under easy enough and had it over my head but for some reason I just couldn't lock it out. It didn't feel heavy, it was just a technique thing. On the third attempt I made sure to slide under super fast and lock out my arms and I had no problem at all standing it up. I didn't go for any heavier because it was already my third attempt at 210.
I'm super happy with that result today. I should be hitting 225 before too long. Now that I have my confidence back, I'll start doing working sets around 175-185 for the next two weeks to build up strength.

My PR is 23 and change. I don't really care though cause of my jerk results.
