Every minute for 8 minutes

  • 1 Slow Clean Pull + Power Clean from position 2 + Power Clean

Notes

Today’s strength is power cleans. You will complete 1 slow pull, 1 power clean from position 2, and 1 power clean from the ground at the top of every minute for 8-minutes. You may build in weight or stay at the same weight; it is your choice.

Focus on hitting your positions through the pull. Keep your weight centered in your foot as you lower to position 2, then drive veritcally. You may drop and reset before the power clean from the ground. Make sure your bar path looks just like it did during the slow pull.

Strength

Back Squat @ 21X2

  • x 4-5 x 5 sets

Notes

Today’s strength is back squat. You will complete 5 working sets of 4-5 reps. Each rep will be performed with a :02 negative, :01 pause in and the bottom and :02 pause between reps. The rep scheme won’t change throughout the month, but you’ll have the opportunity to increase weight across weeks depending on the amount of reps you hit. This means that if you hit 5 reps on all 5 working sets, you can increase weight the next week and start the process over again. If you have to stop at 4 reps on any of your working sets, you will repeat the same weight the following week, and continue to do so until you achieve 5 sets of 5 reps. Here is an example of how this could look in practice:

Week 1: 100×5, 100×5, 100×5, 100×4, 100×4
Week 2: 100×5, 100×5, 100×5, 100×5, 100×4
