21-15-9 for Time:

  • Push Jerk (50% of today’s 1 rep)
  • Bar over Burpee
  • Situp

Today is a mostly based off of the push jerk.  This is also known as the power jerk and is not as commonly used as a split jerk in the Olympic clean and jerk.  As CrossFitters we use this lift a lot in metcons to speed up our cycle time and keep the intensity high.  Today we will start with a 1 rep max push jerk and then speed it up a bit with 50% of that number in our metcon.
