Front Squat to Jerk

IntermediateBodyweight

This combo pairs a front squat with a jerk, flowing from a deep squat straight into an explosive overhead lift. It builds leg strength, core stability and shoulder power while grooving the transition central to the clean and jerk. It's a technical, full-body movement well suited to lifters developing their Olympic lifting.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set the bar in the rack just below shoulder height and grip it wider than your shoulders with feet wide.

  2. 2

    Take an overhand grip, point your elbows forward into a front rack, and lift the bar out of the rack.

  3. 3

    Step back and set your feet about shoulder-width apart, core braced and chest up.

  4. 4

    In one motion, drop into a front squat, pause briefly, then drive up hard so the bar feels light at the top.

  5. 5

    Dip into a quarter squat, then explosively press the bar overhead while splitting your feet into a shallow lunge to catch it.

  6. 6

    Hold, then step your feet together, stand tall, and return the bar to the rack.
