It’s a bold statement (and maybe not entirely true), but I don’t groan and wish I didn’t come to class when I see jerks in the workout. When I first started CrossFit I was afraid of jerks. It’s intimidating to shove heavy weights over your head and have faith that you won’t let it come crashing down on-top of you.

Now that I’ve learned to split jerk, they are even more fun, and I can throw around a lot more weight. I know it doesn’t look like much with these plates on it, but this set was 103 lbs.

Thanks for the photos Rosa!
