The '''split jerk''' is the most common of the three forms of jerk used in competitions, therefore the term ''jerk'' normally implies a split jerk unless an athlete prefers a different style of jerk.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.catalystathletics.com/exercise/60/Split-Jerk/ |title=Split Jerk |work=Catalyst Athletics }}</ref> In split jerk, the lifter dips down their hips and propels the barbell upward by performing a short jump. The lifter then 'splits' their legs and catches the bar with straight arms above their head. The split in the split jerk is not as deep as in split clean or split snatch, and moving too low in split jerk can lead to injury.<ref name="miller" />

In the '''power jerk''' or push jerk, the lifter performs the same dip and jump movement, but unlike the split jerk, the lifter catches the barbell in a [[partial squat]] position.  Power jerk may be used synonymously with push jerk, but a distinction may be made with push jerk being a type of power jerk where the feet stayed connected to the platform instead of being lifted.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.catalystathletics.com/article/2194/Split-Jerk-Power-Jerk-Squat-Jerk-Why-Who/ |title=Split Jerk, Power Jerk & Squat Jerk: Why & Who|first=Greg |last=Everett|date=September 6, 2018 |work=Catalyst Athleteics }}</ref>

The '''squat jerk''' is like the power jerk in how the lifter catches the barbell in a squat position, but unlike the power jerk, the lifter catches the barbell in a full squat position with the barbell locked out above their head. The squat jerk requires considerable shoulder stability and flexibility to avoid injury, and it is therefore practiced only by a small minority of lifters.<ref name="miller">{{cite book |title=The Sport of Olympic-Style Weightlifting|first= Carl |last=Miller|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nvg31rO1dM0C&pg=PA112 |date=2011 |publisher=Sunstone Press |page= 112|isbn=9781611390841 }}</ref>
