SKILL AND BUILD UP (~13:00)

3 Clean deadlifts to mid-thigh
3 Clean deadlift to shrug
3 Muscle cleans
3 “Lands” in the power position
3 Hang power cleans
3 Power cleans
Build Up (~8:00)
Set a timer for 8:00 and build-up to the first work set weight of power cleans in 4-5 sets of 2-3 reps.
Take care of any final workout prep during this time.
Movement Options:
Power Clean
*Perform the movement from the hang position if mechanics from the floor are difficult to maintain, specifically the back position. *Newer athletes may benefit from replacing the sets of 2 reps and 1 rep with 3 rep sets to allow more opportunities to build good movement habits by practicing the movement with lighter loading.
STRENGTH/POWER
Workout (~20:00)
Every 2:30 for 20:00 (8 sets)
Power clean
Set 1-2: 5 reps (45# bar + 5 + 5 = 55#)
(45# bar + 5 + 2.5 + 5 + 2.5 = 60#)
Sets 3-4: 3 reps (45# bar + 10 + 10 = 65#)
(45# bar + 10 + 2.5 + 10 + 2.5 = 70# )
Sets 5-6: 2 reps (45# bar + 10 + 5 + 10 + 5 = 75#)
(45# bar + 10 + 5 + 2.5 + 10 + 5 + 2.5 = 80#)
Sets 7-8: 1 rep (45# bar + 10 + 5 + 5 + 10 + 5 + 5 = 85# )
PR for me!
Notes Attempt to increase the load across all 8 sets. The weight should be challenging but not maximal for each rep range. All reps can be performed as singles but each set should not exceed more than an average of 0:05-0:10 per rep.

Notes Start with a light to moderate load and build to a challenging effort on the third set.
Perform the toes to barbell at a controlled pace and complete the reps without breaking up the set.
If the motion aggravates an athlete’s spine choose a v-up alternative.
Good workout for today. I think I really like doing most weightlifting – especially now that I can actually lift more than the bar!
I am starting to use the 45# bar for workouts when I can as I have a 45# bar at home and it will help me if I’m used to using it at the gym. Mine won’t feel so heavy then! I think that’s how it was easier to get a PR today because you look at the bar with the weights on it and you think, “I’ve lifted this before so I should be able to add weight.” You forget you used to use a bar that was 10# lighter 🙂
Well, home now to shower, pack my lunch and head to work.
See you all tomorrow!
