One of them makes you better and mentally tougher, one of them risks injury. That's not to say that one should not go for the extra lbs, but whereas you might push your body to do the extra lunge, I would not recommend pushing your body to save a failed jerk. Just let it go. :) As for the week’s survey question, for me it has come down to internalizing the difference between pushing for the extra reps before resting while doing something like lunges and pushing for the extra lbs while doing something like clean and jerks.
