The Push Jerk is close to the Push Press in that we've got the same set-up, dip and drive through the feet, touch the full hip stretch, and then use the hip created energy to press the barbell overhead.
Touch and go at the floor only. Even a re-grip off the floor is a foul. No dumping. Use the same load for each set. Rest as needed between sets.

Scaling:
Experienced athletes should perform this benchmark workout as written. The beginner should focus on mechanics and consistency instead of loading. Warm up by adding weight slowly, ensuring the load allows you to maintain great technique. Newer athletes should ignore the touch-and-go requirement and instead take a second or two to establish a sound setup position.

Newer athletes may benefit from practicing progressions to understand the timing of the movement. For more instruction, review “The Power of Progression, Part 1: Push Jerk.” Ideally, each set will be as heavy as possible for 3 reps, but newer athletes should start light and slowly add weight as they are comfortable.

Scaling:
Experienced athletes should choose a load on the barbell that is a moderately heavy weight, yet allows them to touch-and-go or perform fast singles on the snatch and clean and jerk. Similarly, the pull-up variant should be fast and unbroken for the early rounds. Newer athletes should use a dowel or empty barbell and focus on mechanics for the lifting portion, and modify the gymnastics movements. Aim for at least 3 rounds in 12 minutes.
Intermediate Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 min. of:
3 snatches
6 clean and jerks
