I (kinda) did this today and had a few questions.
1) When you talk about doing them until failure, do you mean within a set or once your sets fail(ie. is 1 set "press to failure, push press to failure, jerks to failure" and then repeat, or do you do however many sets of presses you can do, followed by however many sets of push presses you can do, followed by however many sets of jerks you can do)
2) Do you alter the weight at all or keep the weight the same(ie. possibly raising the weight when you start the push press)?
3) When doing this is it useful to keep the form strict for the push-presses or is it reasonable to slowly transition the push-presses into jerks.
When I say I kinda did this during today's workout, I went into the gym without really knowing exactly what the difference between the push press or the jerk is and more or less just started out by push-pressing and rather than consciously switching to jerks once they got difficult, just started to dip down more. Is this a big mistake?
4) How much volume would you typically recommend. I ended up doing 3 sets of presses, followed by 3 sets of my push press/jerk hybrid but ended far before failure. How many sets would you typically recommend?
5) When doing jerks should I be landing with split legs? I currently don't, but if this is recommended are there any videos you recommend for learning how to do this properly?
Thats it for now, I'll try to bump this thread as often as possible
