While you guys rest

I keep lifting:

Power Snatch 77/3 88/1 x 3
P. cl. + pu. j. 95/1+2 110/1 x 3
C&J 110/1 x 3
Jerk 110/2 115/1 x 5 (only got 2) 100/2 x 3
Back squat 105/5 125/5 145/3 x 5
Jerk 80/4 80/5 80/4

So I think the problem with my jerk is only partially upper-body strength related. I don't think that doing rows/presses will help that much because I can feel that it doesn't work the muscles the same way as the jerk (even though I'm sure they are the same muscles). I think the best bang for my buck will be higher rep jerks to hit the upper back at the lockout position precisely how it will be during actual jerks. I need to be tighter at the topand make sure the jerk is locked out... It's hard to explain. I just think this is the best course of action.
