Your Front Knee Lands Ahead of Your Foot

standing here at The Lifting Fix, right at the Caffi De Kilo's warehouse, Ariana came up to lift and I noticed she had a problem with her jerk. She jerks, she's not driving her front foot out far enough and so sometimes her knee is actually in front of her ankle, right? And a proper jerk, your shin should be vertical or even your ankle should be slightly in advance underneath. feel powerfully in your jerk, they're gonna do a little drill on how to fix it.

Okay, so you'll notice here, this is a good example of a bad example, that you'll see this front knee is actually a little bit in front of her ankle. So she's just going to lower the bar down, now keeping her back foot down, she's gonna do a jerk from there, driving her front foot forward so that her heel is gonna try and put her heel where her toe is. Alright, and go. Good, and then recover.

And you can do a set of three of these. Very good, and one more. Excellent. And recover.

We're also teaching to make sure to get the back foot down to slightly ahead. So you learn to anchor and drive. Plant that foot out there so the ankle is in advance of-- Thank you Ariana, thank you Katherine Kielos and thank you Austin.
