I really wish my gym had jerk blocks, would make everything so much easier.
I wanted to work 10lbs above a weight I think I could get and just work on the different feeling of the heavier weight. In my C+Js, I came very close to getting the 275# jerk, and I'm counting it as my training PR c+j, caveat being that I would have gotten 1/3 or 2/3 white lights at a comp. The first 285# F jerk I maybe had a shot at, but missed, and each one I was progressively more beat, and the last ones only came a few inches off my shoulders.
Yeah
jerk blocks. We have just had them for a short time now, but they save your shoulders and let you work heavy like this.
