Jerk
1. Brief pause in the rack before each jerk; resetting prior to each rep.
2. Two distinct knee bends: a) first bend with the bell(s) still racked; and b) second bend just after
the initial the drive with the bell(s) ascending and just prior to elbow fixation. If the judge does not
see a distinguishable second knee bend, you will receive a no-count.
3. Some competitors are unable to fully extend (straighten) their elbows. Regardless, elbow fixation
(no movement) is required once the 2nd knee bend is completed and prior to extending (straightening)
and fixing your knees. If the judge sees movement in your elbow after you extend your
knees, you will receive a no-count.
4. A brief pause in the overhead position with your knees and elbows extended and fixed before
dropping the bell(s) into the rack. If the judge is unable to distinguish a brief pause, you will
receive a no-count
