four rounds, as many repetitions as possible; rest amply between rounds:
max shoulder press @ 115/75-lbs.
max push press
max jerk
In this workout, the set is terminated when the bar is removed from the rack position. Any jerk variation is acceptable.
This workout is scored by the total repetitions completed for each round.
Sorry, on the road & confused. Is this three things: press, push press, and jerk, as many reps, at the weight indicated? In excercise descriptions, only “push press” and “push jerk” are defined. Is “lifters choice” as to weight or type of “jerk”? Is there a “jerk” other than a “push jerk” (I know there’s a song/dance called “cool jerk”, but that’s way older than our trainers). Thanks, Ted
Thanks Ted,
The first lift is a (strict) shoulder press. You will perform as many repetitions of that movement before moving on to the push press, before moving on to the jerk–either the push or split variation. The second and third lifts are more efficient than the lifts preceeding them.
The “lifter’s choice” qualifier pertains (specifically) to selection of either the push jerk or split jerk. Choose a weight that best matches your ability.

Thanks. Please bear with me. I get shoulder press, I think I get push press (dip, drive), I think I get push jerk (dip, drive, drop) but what is split press – are your legs out wider? Thanks, Ted
Ted,
Do not worry about the split jerk–just push jerk the weight. We covered split jerk a while ago, but if you aren’t sure what it is, then do not attempt it!

The push jerk was the most challenging movement for me. I tried to do the 95-lbs., but probably should have stuck with 75-lbs. Jeff W.

Did this at home with 50 lb dumbbells. I wasn’t sure if I was allowed any rest b/w exercises, but I set the dumbbells down, caught my breath, and picked them back up. Between rounds I took about 2 to 3 minutes.
