I was talking today with my 6 AMers about the importance of a slightly wider grip in the jerk when compared to your press width. The jerk should be about a half a hand to a whole hand wider than the press (as long as your elbows don’t fall behind the bar). The emphasis is not on pressing and driving the bar up, but getting under the bar and stabilizing. This is done more efficiently with a wider grip. Here is a video of the 2009 Worlds. Look at Vladimir Kuznetsov. He demonstrates this style of the jerk the best.
You will probably notice too that he actually has his clean width very wide like his jerk grip position. This allows him to transition quicker from the clean to the jerk. I would experiment with your cleans with this grip as well. You may find that the bar stay closer to you because the second pull will naturally initiate higher up your thigh (this is good especially for you earlier pullers).

Oh and for those who want to try liquid grip, I think it works very well. The 8 oz bottle should last for over a month (probably two). http://liquidgrip.com/

4 Rounds of 200m Run / Max Rep Plyo Push Up; 60 Sec rest between efforts:
Plyo Push Ups – 17, 15, 12, 11
Jerk – 2/2/2/2/2 Max Effort:
75/75/75/75/75. My PR is 155, yet I was so fatigued from yesterday’s WOD I could barely lift the bar in warmups (or scramble my eggs 45 mins later). I think i’ll take Coach Iz’s advice and skip tomorrow’s class.
2 RFT of Row 500m / 15 Muscle Ups (substitued 45 pull-ups and 45 ring dips instead). Finished somewhere in the 14 min mark – and that was without completing round 2 of the pull-ups/ring dips.
Ouch.
Chris lets put the hammer down and learn muscle ups. just make a note to try one or two everytime we step foot in the box. I have yet to get one and it is defintely a goat for me .
i like that idea. let’s do it.
