    hi.

    so basically i can do 180 degree split jerk but only when i got support.
    i need warmup ofcourcse but, then i need support to push myself down to 180 degree, it doesnt hurt or so, but i cant do 180 degree without support.
    why is it so? is it bad? what should i train?

    i do train weighted split jerk, thats how i got 180 degree with support.

    Answer = lack of strength and motor control through the range of motion.

    Get to your lowest point, tense your stretched muscles.

    Walk out of your lowest stretch holding weights (a weighted vest will do).

    When you say split jerks, do you mean attempting to drop into a front split while holding weights?

    I do the normal split jerk, which is that you have weight either on ur hand or back. I have on my back then i drop to hip lunge position and get back up.
