  • Increasing ladder every 80 secs of: 3 DL, 2 hang power clean, 1 jerk Workout

    I did an increasing ladder every 80 seconds of: (can't put the bar down to regrip or anything after starting each set)
    3 Deadlift
    2 hang power clean
    1 Jerk
    I started with 65 lbs
    65 lbs, 85, 95, 105, 115, 125, 135, 145, 155, 165 (did 3 DL, and 1 HPC, but failed on the 2nd.)
    After I failed the complete series, I took about 1 round off and continued on the same every 80 seconds for 3-4 more rounds with:
    1 DL,
    1 HPC
    1 Jerk (I did jerk, not split jerk, until my singles then I did split a little bit)
    I did all 4 sets using the 165 lbs. I was actually not very explosive with the jerk. I need to work on that as well. I need to work on the explosiveness of it. I was basically pressing it. I was not really using my hips and not exploding down and under the weight at all. maybe because I was a little tired but not that bad.
    I also need to work on faster elbows and really shrugging the weight up. I was not really using my hips and shrugging enough. 165 is not that heavy for me anymore to HPC. If I can bang out 15 at 135, then I should EASILY be able to rep out 3 at 165.
    I stared to wear the belt on this set, and I started to wear the wrist wraps after 135 set)

  • 8/5/13 Hang Cleans & Front Squats Workout

    A. Clean off high blocks - build to a tough-ish single in 12 min (SCORE: 225)
    B1. FS @ 30X1; 3-4 tough x 5; rest 20 sec (SCORE: 275, 295, 305, 305, 305)
    B2. AMRAP COVP chin ups; rest 4 min (SCORE: 21, 21, 22, 20, 19)
    C. AMRAP jump switch lunges in 40 sec; rest 60 sec x 3 (SCORE: 39, 37, 37)

    Notes:
    - form over load on clean - ride down if pulled high
    - all sets working sets for FS so warm up appropriately - compare opening weight to last week's BS weight - should be close to 85% of that
    - go for it on chin ups, if you are hanging on bar, you can do more
    - knee SLIGHTLY kisses ground on lunges, keep feet same distance apart

    Notes:

    - pause at just below knee cap, think hip speed and force into ground more than speed under bar
