Reps should feel sharp and technical early, with the final set being challenging but stable overhead. Focus on clean footwork between the power and squat variations and consistent receiving positions in the jerk.
Modifications:
– Knee Sensitivity / Squat Limitation: Adjust Squat Clean to Power Clean (both reps become power) Keep jerks as written, or move to a push jerk if the split is creating an issue on the back leg.
– Overhead or Shoulder Discomfort: We can cut the split jerk today if the overhead position is problematic, or look to do the cleans and then work on Dumbbell Push Press if it’s the barbell in the front rack that is creating a problem.
– Low Back Fatigue / Pulling Limitations: Reduce to Clean Pull + Power Clean + Jerk (lighter, more positional emphasis)
Beginner Option:
5 Sets:
2 Power Cleans + 2 Front Squats + 2 Push Jerks
Stay at 60–70% focusing on footwork, bar path, and overhead balance
