What is everybody's favorite?
For some reason, the heavier I go with weight, the more fond I become of the push jerk. I just end up feeling more stable and the heavier I go with the split jerk, the harder it is for me to get under the bar. So yeah, push jerk--the one you never see done in oly comps-- all the way.

I'm partial to split jerks once the weight starts getting heavy. It's probably because they're what I've trained on almost exclusively but my oly coach has been having me work push jerks recently and I am loving them!0

For heavier weights I'm a fan of the split jerk. During WODs/lighter weights its push jerk, they go faster.0

The idea is that you should be able to lift more with the split because you're able to get under the bar further. I like both equally I guess0
