—
Build to full clean and jerk starting loads over the course of 2-3 sets
Clean and Jerk (Every 2:00 x 10 Sets
1 Clean and Jerk
Starting @ ~60% and increasing to a 1RM for the Day)
We are looking to establish a 1RM Clean and Jerk for the day. This means that we will be ideally performing a Squat Clean + Split Jerk for the Clean and Jerk 1RM for the day. However we will allow whatever will lift the most loading today for the test.
Level 1 Athletes: Adjust to a Hang Power Clean + Front Squat + Split Jerk Modification to work on the form of the clean into a good front rack position and then take the time for the set-up into the split jerk. We are ideally working in the range of 6-8 RPE / 10 for our newer athletes to focus on form and technique.
Front Squat (On a 15:00 Clock
Establish a 1RM Front Squat)
We are building over the course of 15 minutes for our Front Squat 1RM. This ideally is set-up by a heavy clean for the day and then progressively building load about every 3:00 for each single attempt. The goal today will be to establish a new 1RM of 2-8% over your previous 1RM.
Focus on pressing up and through the bar with the elbows to maintain tension and control out of the hole in the Front Squat to achieve the best result.
Level 1 Athletes: Adjust to a 3-5 Rep @ 7-8 RPE to focus more on form and stability than absolute loads
