The ''jerk'' is a movement that lifts a barbell from the shoulder to the overhead position. It starts from the "front rack" position, which is the finishing position of the ''clean''. The lift begins with the dip-drive phase &ndash; the lifter dips a few inches by bending the knees, keeping the back vertical, before driving the barbell explosively upward by straightening the legs. The lifter continues driving the barbell upward by lifting it off the shoulder with the arms, and once the barbell has passed the  head, the lifter dips underneath the bar and moves the body into a stable receiving position.  How the body moves into the receiving position depends on the style of jerk (split jerk, power jerk, or squat jerk) being performed, with split jerk being the most common. The bar is received overhead on straight arms; once stable, the lifter recovers to a normal standing position, with the legs in the same vertical plane as the rest of the body.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.crossfit.com/essentials/foundational-movement-jerk-what-is-a-jerk |first=Beau |last=Burgener|date= August 29, 2023 |title=What is a jerk |work=CrossFit }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.catalystathletics.com/article/1903/The-Jerk-Technique-Nobody-Talks-About/ |title=The Jerk Technique Nobody Talks |first=Matt |last=Foreman|date=March 30, 2015 |work=Catalyst Athletics }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.trainingweightlifting.com/technique/jerk-technique/ |title=Key Issues of Jerk Technique |work=Training Weightlifting }}</ref>
