Intent. Work on your timing and rhythm on the push jerk by alternating with push press. With both the push press and the push jerk in the same set, you’ll have to be present and stay focused. The difference in rhythm between the movements will challenge you to be more conscious of the dip under the bar on the receiving position of the jerk.
Aim to connect each rep together smoothly. Paying attention to how you bring the bar back down to connect the reps will improve your rhythm. Your success here is measured on quality not time = don’t rush the sets or rests, focus on moving well
