Details
Bench Press: Perform at 70-75% of your one-rep max, ensuring strict form and controlled movement.
KB/DB: for the front rack and farmer's carry. Focus on maintaining a strong core and upright posture during carries.
Goals:
Build upper body strength and stability through the bench press.
Enhance grip strength and core stability with kettlebell carries.
Maintain a steady pace to maximize performance and recovery during the rest minute.
Considerations:
Adjust the weight of the kettlebells as needed based on your experience and comfort level.
Focus on controlled movements and proper technique to prevent injury.
Look to adjust the Bench Press to a Floor Press or Dumbbell Bench Press if needed.

The focus here is on the technical capacity of the clean and really working to reinforce quality extension through the third pull. Focus on quick feet into the catch with a solid front rack position for Power Clean, then work to reinforce the same technical points moving into the Hang Squat Clean with a little more speed and movement into the catch.
Stimulus: Power and Speed Strength
RPE: 6/10 This should be more focused on feeling snappy and creating technical proficiency before really progressing loads.
Key focus areas:
Keeping the bar close and maintaining a quality front rack position in the catch.
Smooth off the floor and speed through the hips
Modifications:
Consider moving to Hang Power Cleans and Front Squats to develop the clean and then progress the positions in the Front Rack.
If needed move to Dumbbell Cleans for those really limited in the Front Rack positions.
