The good news: I cleaned 131 at least 5 times, and I cleaned 133.5 about another 5 times.
The bad news: I missed all of the jerks at those weights. They were close, but not good enough. I still honestly don't know what more I can do about my jerk other than work extra jerks and supports after every workout... Everything is getting stronger except my jerk.
Jerks 100/1 110/1 x 2 113/1 x 3 118/1 - 1, miss
Was supposed to do clean pulls, not jerks, but I figured I'd taken care of that...
Back Squat 120/4 140/5 x 4
jerk 100/3 - 3, 3, 2+miss
Working on catching the jerk with a wider split and with a perfect lockout. My main problem at heavy weight is that I can't catch the bar locked out. When I snatch the bar hits me with a rigid back and locked elbows. it's extremely easy to catch that way. In the jerk the bar hits me with the slightly lax back and not completely locked elbows. This is impossible to catch at heavy weight. I just need to keep working technique harder I guess, and keep doing the overhead supports...
Anyone have any other ideas?

IDEA : Get stronger.
No, but seriously. I have no clue. We've talked about this before, I really don't know what you do for a jerk other than correct technique and do more of them.
