what is difference between power jerk and push jerk? Which of these lifts would pass in an Olympic lifting competition? What would you call a "pressed-out" jerk that would not pass in competition because being pressed out is not allowed?
Push Jerk == Power Jerk. You can use them in competition. Press-out is when the bar is not locked out overhead in one continuous motion; for example; you do the jerk but you don't lockout your arms (tey are a little bent) you then 'pressout' to finish the movement to lockout you will not get the lift since you did not finish the jerk in a continuous motion.
In practice, competition is 95% split jerks, a few lifters use squat jerks, but you have to be more accurate than a split (less room for error). You can jerk more weight in a split or squat then push/power because you push yourself farther under the bar to a lower receiving position = jerk doesn't have to get the bar as high.
The goal of a power jerk is to thrust the weight up as hard as possible with no deceleration phase so there is no point in overloading the top part imo. Now if it's a strict press, or even a push press that might be a damn good idea.
Wow! As someone who's used chains and bands (but never for jerks!) that is a very impressive display. Keeping it stable has got to almost destroy your core! Which is a great thing of course
Not to bad, but what do you weight?

I compete in strongman not olympic lifting. Any means necessary to get the weight up.

I think that was great lifting. Is that your home gym? How do the chains affect the lift?

shouldn't ever use chains on push jerk. Always need to keep the chains touching the ground.

the swaying makes it much harder. much better stabilization.
