Empieza con la barra sobre la parte anterior de los hombros, haz una breve flexi\u00f3n de piernas e imp\u00falsate hacia arriba. Cuando la barra suba, col\u00f3cate debajo de ella y estira los brazos. Una vez que el peso est\u00e9 estable por encima de la cabeza, ponte de pie. Los muslos y los gl\u00fateos impulsan la elevaci\u00f3n y te ayudan a subir, mientras los hombros, los brazos y el tronco sostienen la barra.<\/p>\n<p>En el <a href=\"https:\/\/training.fit\/es\/?post_type=uebung&amp;p=7300\">press con impulso<\/a>, las piernas permanecen rectas despu\u00e9s del impulso mientras terminas de empujar. En el <a href=\"https:\/\/training.fit\/es\/?post_type=uebung&amp;p=7913\">jerk con mancuernas<\/a> recibes dos pesas en una sentadilla menos profunda. En las <a href=\"https:\/\/training.fit\/es\/?post_type=uebung&amp;p=5707\">sentadillas con barra<\/a>, la barra permanece sobre la parte superior de la espalda. El squat jerk requiere una coordinaci\u00f3n precisa y una sentadilla profunda que puedas controlar con un peso por encima de la cabeza. Apr\u00e9ndelo con un entrenador de halterofilia antes de a\u00f1adir una carga considerable.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ejecucion_correcta\">Ejecuci\u00f3n correcta<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>La parte exigente es recibir la barra en una sentadilla profunda con el peso por encima de la cabeza y levantarte desde ah\u00ed.<\/p>\n<p>Empieza con una barra de entrenamiento sin discos y una zona de levantamiento despejada. Practica con tu entrenador la sentadilla con la barra por encima de la cabeza, la subida desde esa posici\u00f3n y c\u00f3mo terminar de forma segura un intento fallido antes de a\u00f1adir velocidad. Apoya la barra sobre la parte anterior de los hombros con un agarre seguro de jerk, los codos ligeramente adelantados y los pies en una postura equilibrada.<\/p>\n<p>Baja un poco manteniendo el tronco erguido y despu\u00e9s imp\u00falsate con fuerza hacia arriba con las piernas. Aparta la cabeza para dejar pasar la barra al subir y m\u00e9tete con fuerza por debajo de ella. Los brazos se estiran mientras desciendes a la sentadilla. Seg\u00fan la t\u00e9cnica que hayas aprendido, puedes pasar los pies de una postura de impulso m\u00e1s estrecha a tu postura de sentadilla o mantenerlos en su sitio.<\/p>\n<p>Recibe la barra sobre tu base de apoyo y estabil\u00edzala antes de ponerte de pie. La sentadilla profunda forma parte de la recepci\u00f3n; recibirla en una posici\u00f3n m\u00e1s alta y ponerte de pie inmediatamente corresponde a otra variante de jerk. Cuando est\u00e9s completamente erguido, baja la barra con control hasta los hombros si la carga lo permite, flexionando ligeramente las rodillas para amortiguar el descenso. Despu\u00e9s devu\u00e9lvela al soporte.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Video_explicativo\">V\u00eddeo explicativo<\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"video-meta\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/training.fit\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FiFc4l24llpw%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iFc4l24llpw\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT1M41S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2023-04-10T23:48:50Z\" \/><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Squat Jerk | Olympic Weightlifting Exercise Library\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Exercise Library - https:\/\/www.catalystathletics.com\/exercises\/ Split Jerk - https:\/\/youtu.be\/2GPA-cjUFnA The squat jerk is the rarest of the three competition jerk styles because of its unsuitability for most athletes, and has limited utility as a training exercise for other lifters. The lift involves a full-depth squat\u2014if the athlete stops and stands before the thighs move past horizontal, it\u2019s a power or push jerk. Stand with the heels approximately hip-width and the toes turned out, with the weight balanced slightly more toward the heels but the full foot in contact with the floor. Hold the bar in the jerk rack position\u2014bar in between the throat and highest point of the shoulders; shoulders protracted and slightly elevated; hands as deep under the bar as possible; grip relaxed; elbows down but in front of the bar and out to the sides. Dip by bending at the knees only with the trunk vertical and maintaining your balance to a depth of approximately 10% of your height. Brake as quickly as possible in the bottom and drive straight back up aggressively with the legs to accelerate the barbell upward. As you finish the extension of the legs, push the bar up and slightly back with the arms to preserve as much bar speed as possible, and quickly punch the elbows into a secure overhead position to drive yourself down into a squat. Note that the squat jerk can be performed keeping the feet in place on the floor throughout, or moving them from a narrower drive to wider squat stance. Secure and stabilize the bar before recovering into a standing position with the bar overhead. *Notes* There is exactly one benefit of the squat jerk, which is that it requires the least bar elevation\u2026 and the good news stops there. The drawbacks are that it demands the most mobility from the entire body, involves the most difficult recovery, and has an extremely small margin of error\u2014and each of these is a complete dealbreaker on its own. This is only a good choice if you happen to be a person with no mobility limitations, who is consistently very precise, and who has very strong legs to recover from a pause jerk-grip overhead squat after a maximal effort clean\u2026 but also can\u2019t drive the bar up in the jerk to save your life. *Purpose* The primary purpose is as a lifter\u2019s chosen style of jerk in competition. As a training exercise for athletes who don\u2019t use it in competition, it has fairly limited utility. It can be used to train overhead strength and stability for the jerk and even snatch to some degree, as a way to improve mobility in the bottom position (although there are better choices for this), and as some variety in training to have fun or keep a lifter mentally fresh. Because the limiter is the transition from the rack position to the overhead position, it\u2019s a poor choice as a training exercise for overhead work\u2014it makes far more sense to use the clean-grip overhead squat or a squat jerk behind the neck, AKA clean-grip snatch balance. Both of these allow an easier transition to the overhead position and encourage a more solid one, thereby allowing the athlete to handle heavier weights and produce more effective results. *Programming* Sets of 1-3 reps are suggested with weights anywhere from 70% to the lifter\u2019s maximum power jerk. Generally this exercise should be performed following any snatch variants and possibly before clean variants depending on what the intended emphasis of the workout is. With light weights, it can be used to work on overhead stability and mobility before a jerk workout. *Variations* The squat jerk can be performed by moving the feet from a drive stance out to a squat stance like a power jerk, or without the feet leaving the floor like a push jerk. It can also be performed from behind the neck, in which case it may be referred to as either a squat jerk behind the neck or clean\/jerk\/close-grip snatch balance. *See Also* The 3 Jerk Styles - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NGtExNRv7K4 1-Minute Jerk Tutorial - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9-sdE3eQDLk Rack Position - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6JHxmVqApMI Overhead Position - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cGTMblARM-c Dip &amp; Drive Styles - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hF2SlVSWy5s How to Dip Correctly - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PTvv1wHl1Nk Find Your Split Stance - https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=s82-kiwLDg8 Get Olympic weightlifting programming that&#039;s been used by over 95,000 athletes around the world - https:\/\/www.catalystathletics.com\/train\/ Help support my free content - https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/catalystathletics Also follow me here: https:\/\/www.catalystathletics.com https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/catalystathletics\/ https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@catalystathletics https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GregEverettCA https:\/\/twitter.com\/CAthletics\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Squat Jerk | Olympic Weightlifting Exercise Library\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_iFc4l24llpw\"><div id=\"lyte_iFc4l24llpw\" data-src=\"https:\/\/training.fit\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FiFc4l24llpw%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\">Squat Jerk | Olympic Weightlifting Exercise Library<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/iFc4l24llpw\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img src=\"https:\/\/training.fit\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FiFc4l24llpw%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Squat Jerk | Olympic Weightlifting Exercise Library\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Ver este v\u00eddeo en YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Instrucciones_paso_a_paso\">Instrucciones paso a paso<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"num\">Apoya la barra sobre la parte anterior de los hombros con un agarre seguro de jerk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"num\">Adopta una postura equilibrada.<\/p>\n<p class=\"num\">Activa la musculatura del tronco y realiza una breve flexi\u00f3n de piernas manteni\u00e9ndote erguido.<\/p>\n<p class=\"num\">Imp\u00falsate con fuerza hacia arriba con las piernas para acelerar la barra.<\/p>\n<p class=\"num\">Col\u00f3cate debajo mientras extiendes los brazos y desciendes a una sentadilla profunda con la barra por encima de la cabeza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"num\">Mant\u00e9n la barra estable por encima de la cabeza y los pies firmemente apoyados antes de ponerte de pie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"num\">Ponte completamente de pie con los brazos extendidos y despu\u00e9s baja y devuelve la barra al soporte con el movimiento controlado que has practicado.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Errores_frecuentes\">Errores frecuentes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Inclinarte hacia delante durante la flexi\u00f3n inicial de piernas puede alejar la barra de la posici\u00f3n en la que necesitas recibirla.

La mayor\u00eda de los estudios analizan levantamientos similares por encima de la cabeza, como el push press, el push jerk y el split jerk.<\/p>\n<p>Un estudio de 2024 analiz\u00f3 v\u00eddeos de competici\u00f3n de 32 halter\u00f3filos varones de \u00e9lite que utilizaban squat jerk o split jerk. La flexi\u00f3n inicial de piernas y el impulso fueron pr\u00e1cticamente iguales en ambos estilos; las diferencias aparecieron al recibir y sostener la barra. La recepci\u00f3n en sentadilla profunda era mucho menos estable hacia delante y hacia atr\u00e1s que la posici\u00f3n de tijera, con las piernas separadas, pero m\u00e1s estable de lado a lado. Levantarse desde la recepci\u00f3n en sentadilla tambi\u00e9n exig\u00eda elevar la barra unos 23 cm m\u00e1s.<span id='quelle-1-7135' class='quelle-margin-adjust'><\/span><span class='easy-footnote'><a href='https:\/\/training.fit\/es\/ejercicio\/squat-jerk\/#quelle-bottom-1-7135' ><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>En un estudio de 2024, 16 adultos con experiencia en entrenamiento de fuerza (12 hombres y 4 mujeres) realizaron push press, push jerk y split jerk con la misma carga.
