Power Jerk (Push Jerk)

This is a jerk received with a squat foot placement and the thighs horizontal or above.

Generally the terms power jerk and push jerk are used synonymously; however, some coaches and athletes make a distinction between the two: in the power jerk, the feet separate from the platform and move into the squat receiving position; in the push jerk, the feet remain against the platform during the drive under the bar.
