if the jerk is your rate limiting step have you thought about programming specifics to address this?
Yeah. I've tried to add a split foot transition drill previous to my warmup, but haven't noted this here. I think this has helped a little. It's just hands on hips in jerk stance, transition to split as fast as possible.
We don't have jerk blocks at my gym (though supposedly we're gona build some soon), so jerk specific drills are tough. Ideally I'd just work at jerking 235-255 over and over along with a couple of drills like jerk balances and split jerks from being neck, but cleaning that weight gets you tired very quickly, obv and on top of that lowering jerks for multiple reps is just about one of the toughest things I've done at the gym. It sucks. So for drills, it seems like just focusing on the jerks themselves and form cues works the best for me until we get some blocks.

Reason: the only reason I say 235-255 above is that 215-225 is pretty easy for me (I can push press this no prob)
