This weeks fitness tip- "Clean and Jerk"

Hello everyone, Jordan here with this weeks fitness tip. This week is the "clean and jerk."

WHY- The clean and jerk is an Olympic lift that target muscles all through the body including, legs, core, shoulders, and triceps. This exercise involves fast twitch muscle fibers which are used on the motocross track for making fast controlled movements.


HOW- The clean and jerk in general involves getting a barbell from the ground to above your head as shown below. I am not going to go into detail on how to do this exercise properly because it is very technical and involves a lot of practice. If you are not familiar with this exercise please do some research on it and have someone help you.
