Double Kettlebell Press 6-6-6-6-6
Double Kettlebell Push-Press 8-8-8-8-8
Double Kettlebell Jerk 10-10-10-10-10
1 pood across. Didn't get all 10 reps for every set of jerks.
Everything went swimmingly until the jerks. I was quite pleased with how well the presses and push-presses went, actually - it felt heavy and unstable at first, but once my shoulder warmed up and I re-figured out how to stabilize and drive from the core, the weight went up significantly easier.
However, jerks. I did get some sets of 10, but they were really closer to push-presses than jerks - my second dip is tiny, if I even get it, and for some reason standing up with the KB locked out overhead is extremely tiring - such that 10 jerks is far harder than 10 push-presses. This is probably because I don't have it locked out properly, or at least that would be my guess. A little googling brought me to this video from CrossFit Philly, which has an interesting progression for working the timing of the second dip - I think I'll give it a shot.

I don't know what you've got going on with your form. I don't recall what it looks like, to be honest, but I believe you ;) I find that with high reps everything gets waaayyy harder. You may find that push-jerks, even a set of ten, at 1 pood per hand is much easier when aren't doing it after all the other stuff. I did it this one w/ dbs and it was humiliating (and painful).
