Episode 25: Split Jerk Stability 101: Stop Press Outs, And Build Lockout Strength

A shaky jerk can stall your total..... until you fix overhead stability. In this Snatch Chat episode, Coach Oates breaks down how to build a rock solid lockout with smart jerk drills, pauses, and positional holds, then ties it to real‑world training: what to eat before early morning lifting, how to reset when a session feels heavy from the warm up, and when to adjust volume vs. push exposure. Practical weightlifting coaching for everyday Olympic lifters who want better technique, safer progress, and more consistent results.Want to master the Snatch, Clean and Split Jerk?
