Anvil Continental Jerks!

Man, this was fun! You're seeing Continental Jerks a 102½lb Trenton anvil and a 131lb Fisher anvil. The deep dive on Continental Style lifting has been intriguing. Supposedly adopted by bulbous Bavarian bier drinkers who 'couldn't' properly Clean a ɓarbell, this style is quite clever with HUGE hidden potential. Did you know that a 409lb Continental Jerk was performed by Steinbach in 1911: FOUR DECADES before Davis' 401lb in the Clean style in 1951!! The Continental Style is about maintaining hip height. As you can see, l dip a bit and catch by leaning back under the weight while keeping the hips high: basically where they were BEFORE the dip. I modified these, so l start with feet in line together. Traditionally, you start the Continental Jerk(Press as well) with the feet already split. I'll explore this style further down the road, but let me say there's quite a bit of room fir growth on these! Yes, these work tge ENTIRE Erector network from top to bottom...God Bless!
