S/S/S:
Clean Pulls
5X5
Increase weight ea set
Video courtesy of Catalyst Athletics. Our pulling movement for this cycle will be Clean Pulls. These are great to help with the first and second pulls in a clean. The first pull is usually where folks lose good form on their cleans. By building good form and strength in this area, we stand a greater chance of successful cleans. The biggest issue folks have here is they tend to turn this into a conventional deadlift with the hips being higher in the air at the start. Fight that tendency and treat each lift as if you full intended on cleaning the weight. Don’t forget to get a hip hop at the top when you VIOLENTLY extend the hips.
