I was wondering if you can suggest a good tutorial on learning the jerk?
I am currently nearing the end of my novice training, and was thinking of including the full clean and jerk in my intermediate training, since my goals are more focused on power than raw strength.
Given my info below, is this an appropriate time to start learning this movement?
Some of my info:
Current press is 140lbs (I am micro loading this, but still progressing) for 3 sets of 5.
Current power clean is 175lbs (still rising, though not rapidly) for 5 sets of 3.
BW = 212 lbs, 5'11" tall, ~20% BF as of last approximation.
