If you could land on the toe all of your backfoot when doing split jerk, that would be alot better. As landing Airways like that with a flat foot can be rough on the inside of your knee over time. Especially with heavy weights and if u fail the lift

@brianmcnamara5890 5 ай бұрын

Keep sumo and split jerks out of strongman IMO. The less technically demanding the lifts are (they are still technical but not like a split jerk) the more it's about raw strength. Also, never again for squat suits/briefs (Arnold) and preferably no more deadlift suits but that ship has sailed as it's all about the 500+kg now. No hate if you are doing them now when allowed but personally I don't want to see it in the sport (I do compete if that matters)...

I don’t think the split is the best approach for log- most people fail the log because it starts to drift in front of them and they can’t maintain control through the press. If your split jerk isn’t perfect, and your torso has any kind of forward movement during the split portion, the log we certainly be pushed even further away from your center of gravity, unlike a barbell/axle, where you can keep it over the center of gravity through the whole motion

Mr. Moose, I've been following the sport of strongman for a great many years. The way it works is this: You move a weight from A to B no matter how (as long as it is in the rules) and provided the referee gives you the down signal or doesn't disqualify you in any way, and you're good to go :) It's not uncommon to get awarded reps for soft lock-outs on the deadlift or log/dumbbell press, which I personally can't stand. If I were a referee, I'd make the competitors hold the object overhead for at least a brief period, until it's clear the weight is controlled up here. No extra points are awarded if the competitor happens to use any fancy ways. I also hope that stupid fight doesn't happen. What nonsense is that all about? Be careful out there.
