Genrally, # 40mg I try to program something heavy one day a week. We did lots of reps in the legs this week – squats Monday, web lunges Tuesday and more running than normal on Wednesday. Thursday was CrossFit, plain and simple. But it wasn’t heavy. Friday’s workout should be heavy. See below. Scale as appropriate.
We have done this workout a couple of times at 165/110. Genrally, folks push the 10 rep range and beyond each minute at that weight. If you’re scaling, I’m not saying that is not possible here, but I’m guessing one Clean every 10 to 15 seconds is more like it. So if you are doing more than 7 in the first minute, you will need to add weight.
Find a weight that you can perform safely, but it should be a lift that requires a perfect set up and a vicious pull. Keep your ebows fast and land well. 225/155 Jumping Jacks are highly discouraged. On the pull, it should feel like you are trying to rip the head off a lion over and over again.
