10/10 Hand to Hand Wrist Circles

10 Bend and Bow

:15/:15 Crossbody Lat Stretch

Specific Prep

2 Sets, For Quality

6 Tall Muscle Cleans

8 Bradford Press w/ Lockout

10 Behind the Neck Elbow Punch Throughs

8 Barbell Good Mornings

3 Barbell Squat Jumps

Barbell Primer

Clean Lift Off + Slow Pull Power Clean + Low Hang Power Clean

Rest 15 sec

Power Clean + 3 Split Jerks (1st Rep Pause in Dip, 2nd Rep Pause in Catch, 3rd Rep @ speed and tempo)

Clean and Jerk (Take 15:00 to Establish a 1RM Clean and Jerk)

This is the culmination of the clean and jerk cycle. The goal here is a clean, technical lift at the absolute top end of capacity, not a grind. Every attempt should look snappy and confident, with tension and quality positions from the floor through the catch. Athletes should build methodically and arrive at their top attempts with one or two lifts left in the tank, not chasing a number that requires a compromised position to hit. If the lift does not look like something worth counting, the load is too heavy. Keep attempts crisp, keep the bar moving efficiently, and trust the work that has been put in over this cycle.

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 3:00 x 5 Sets: 3 Hang Power Cleans + Split Jerk, working on building form and capacity here rather than chasing loads.

Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 3:00 x 5 Sets: 5/5 Single Arm Dumbbell Hang Clean and Split Jerks. This is good practice to work on development of precision and odd movement patterns keeping the movement of the foot and arm pressing overhead in a contralateral position.

DT (Time)

5 Rounds for time:

12 Deadlifts, 155# / 105#

9 Hang Power Cleans, 155# / 105#

6 Push Jerks, 155# / 105#
In honor of USAF SSgt Timothy P. Davis, 28, who was killed on February, 20 2009

(Rx155/105, S 125/85)

Goals: 5:00-10:00

Stimulus: Barbell Conditioning / Grip and Forearm Pump

RPE: 9.5/10

Primary Objective: Complete each round in under 2:00, staying connected to the bar through every transition.

Secondary Objective: Maintain unbroken push jerks every round; breaking here creates the largest loss of time in the workout.
