Question for the_w8lifter

mongrel2012 Posts: 125 Joined: 2001/05/04	2001/08/10, 03:57 AM hey which do u think is better? The split jerk, or the power jerk? I don't really like the squat jerk much, its not too great on my shoulders... thx

I will do some research and give you some answers later. This will be a while though, because I leave tomorrow for a 10 day trip to Mexico.

the_w8lifter Posts: 138 Joined: 2001/08/03	2001/09/05, 11:21 AM There is a major difference between a "big" muscle and a "shaped" muscle ready for presentation at a show. What muscles does this effect? I could probably give you some bodybuilding oriented alternatives.
