Cleaned 140 today twice, missed the jerk both times. That's a 3 or 4 kg pr in the clean and the jerk was pretty close on the first one. This program is pretty brutal but my lifts keep going up so I'm not going to complain.
In other news, I squatted 365 for 4x4 today.

That's an amazing clean, Jake. nice work.
What muscles are the primary movers in the jerk? Is it all legs? Also, do you think it's strength or technique that's the issue at the moment?
Damn! Impressive cleaning Jake.
I'm with Dave - how exactly do you train for the jerk?
It's all legs to drive the bar upward, then just before the legs are finished driving the arms beging to drive as well in order to push the body under the bar.As far as I know the only useful way to get better at the jerk is doing lots of jerks. Behind the neck jerks may be useful too.
