I've never had a problme with carrying the bar in my hands during jerks, trust me my coach would beat me to a pulp if i did that.

It just turns out that the visualisation to keep the elbows as high as possible stops my chest from dropping that 1" that leads to throwing the bar out in front. I guess the point is that this change is so small my coaches didn't even notice it!
