Subbing out Jerks

Wednesday, October 7;

So, yesterday we did cleans, and today was Jerks. Take a look at Saturday's workout. Clean and Jerks, which left me with a nasty barbell kiss on my chest. I thought I could do the jerks without a problem. If I hold the bar above the scratched area, I can jerk without a problem. Unfortunately, when I got to 105lbs (the same weight I jerked 55 times on Saturday) the bar was just not moving. As soon as I dipped, so did the bar.. right into my chest. I like to call this failure to launch.

I'd move the bar behind my back, but even the thought of doing this makes my shoulder scream in pain. The best second option was working the strict press. I got up to 75lbs, but my upper body is just shot from Saturday. I fought hard to get the 75lb up and failed at 80lb.
