Squat Jerk Tutorial

October 16, 2013 By Gregor Winter

Here is a Hock-Ausstoß tutorial.

Sounds like German Kamasutra, but it means Squat Jerk.

As you can clearly see in the video, this flexibility-steroid using cheater can get into a perfect position. Even without weight on the bar!

Below is what’s being said in the video.

Pros of the Squat Jerk:

  • you don’t need to push the bar as high as in split jerks, you just need to dive under
  • more stable in the bottom

Cons:

  • leaves little room for error, can’t run after the bar
  • you need strong legs and spinal erectors

Step 1 – Prerequisites:

  • need to be able to achieve a passive (unweighted) overhead squat position with Jerk grip
  • Shoulder Girdle Stretch
  • Coach can help to push the hips/lumbar spine forward (at 3:25)
  • Extraordinary ankle flexibility
  • stable hips to maintain  lordosis (convex inward curvature of a portion of the lumbar)
  • mobility in thoracic spine, exercise he shows is to flex & extend thoracic spine (shown at 3:52)

Step 2: Overhead Squats was Jerk Grip

Step 3: BTN Drop Unders (Drop Jerk)

Step 4: from the front

    That looked terribly inefficient. He says you don’t need to drive hard, just drop, but in the video he just power jerked and rode it down. Look at the actual position he’s in at the time of lockout.

      Mainly to avoid being crushed in the bottom position i believe. Klokov has Said thats the reason He descends as slow as He does back squatting. He Split jerks so obviously for the clean and snatch in his case.
