Noon weightlifting w/ Carl

Today was a day of technique work on opening the hip explosively. We worked on cleans from the hang position, forcing us to really extend and generate as much power as we could without a full pull from the ground. We worked a progression of triples doing PC first then SC. Increase weight, repeat. This was murder on grip after a while. I'd never worked up to a 1 rep max hang squat clean. Good variation.

Hang Power Clean 3-3-3-3-3-1-1...
Hang Squat Clean 3-3-3-3-3-1-1...

HSC PR for the day: 175#


6pm Group w/ Adrian

I was dreading this for a moment because it seems like we'd been doing some variation of cleans all week and my legs were feeling shot, but I surprised myself on this one.

Rx'd weight was 135# barbell or 50# dumbells. I used dumbells since we ran out of bars. Box was the tall one.

For time:
  • 30 Pushups
  • 10 Cleans
  • 10 Box jumps
  • 10 Jerks
  • 10 Box jumps
  • 10 Clean and Jerks
  • 10 Box jumps
  • 10 Jerks
