From The CrossFit Journal January 2003:
The Push Press
a. Set up: The set up is the same as the shoulder press.
b. Dip: Initiate the dip by bending the hips and knees while keeping the torso upright. The dip will be between 1/5 and 1⁄4 of a squat in depth.
c. Drive: With no pause at the bottom of the dip, the hips and legs are forcefully extended.
d. Press: As the hips and legs complete extension the shoulders and arms forcefully press the bar overhead until the arms are fully extended.
The Push Jerk:
a. Set up: The set up is the same as for the shoulder press and push press.
b. Dip: The dip is identical to the push press
c. Drive: The drive is identical to the push press
d. Press and Dip: This time instead of just pressing, you press and dip a second time simultaneously, catching the bar in a partial squat with the arms fully extended overhead.
e. Finish: Stand or Squat to fully erect with bar directly overhead identical to terminal position in push press and shoulder press.
