I tried to google "barbell jerk grip" but only came across "jerk grip width." Is this a particular hand position you're referring to?
Check out how the grip looks in the jerk:
Versus the press:
Look where the bar is in the hands, where the elbows are relative to the barbell. This is what I think of when I read "jerk grip." I'm sure he'll chime in what he means, but typically you don't hold the bar the same for jerks as you do for a press or a bench.
Yep, that's what I mean!
Although my elbows are a bit lower when I'm pressing, but hands stay pretty much the same.
