Workout of the Day
Strength/Skill
Week 1 of 4
5 sets of 2 Hang Clean, 1 Split Jerk
Target weight is 70% of 1RM Clean and Jerk
Take 10 minute to get warm, then work 5 heavy sets of this complex.  Hang position is your call – anywhere from mid thigh, Position 2, or below the knee
3 sets of 3 Clean Pulls
Target weight is 85% of 1RM Clean and Jerk
Once you have completed the Clean/Split Jerk complex, you should be warm.  Review the video – there should little to no elbow bend and no hitching of the chest towards the bar.  Think of this as a deadlift into extension.  Ideally, you will hold the bar for all 3 pulls, but that is not required.  If you need to drop and pull, that is acceptable.
