8.12.2023 Clean & Jerk Workout

10 Rounds/sets, go every 60 to 90-seconds

1-4: 5 Power clean and jerk (TnG)

5-7: 4 Power clean and jerk (TnG)

8-10: 3 Power clean and jerk (TnG)

– Start the 5s @ around 50%1RM PC+J then build up each set (or every other set) if moving well.

Flow. 4 sets of 5s, 3 sets of 4s, 3 sets of 3s, increasing weight, all touch-and-go. Start by going EMOM then increase to every 75 or 90-seconds as needed to maintain good quality sets.
Intent. Practise barbell cycling under accumulating fatigue. Increasing weights in ladder format workouts are very common in competitions. Today’s piece allows you to practise this, as well as, quick plate changes/weight increases (use clips/collars on the barbell).
