“Big Clean Complex”

6 Sets of the Following Complex:

High Hang Squat Clean + Hang Squat Clean + Squat Clean + Push Press

High Hang Squat Clean + Hang Squat Clean + Squat Clean + Push Jerk

High Hang Squat Clean + Hang Squat Clean + Squat Clean + Split Jerk

Video courtesy of Structure Your Strength.  Today’s word: GRIT.  You will need GRIT to get through this complex each set, if done correctly. To do this correctly, you MUST hold onto the bar through the whole Complex.  So, the whole complex (1 rep) is a high hang squat clean (from the pockets), a hang squat clean (above the knee) a squat clean (from the ground), a push press, a high hang squat clean, a hang squat clean, a push jerk, a high hang squat clean, a hang squat clean, and finally, a split jerk.  The goal is to increase weight each set.  That being said, you will need a good 3-5 min rest between sets to be able to complete the next one.

Video courtesy of Ben Bergeron.  To get an idea of what the Complex looks like under tension.  This should give you an idea of when to take mini-breaks without dropping the bar.

Scaling Options:

If unable to squat clean due to injury, perform Power Cleans for all clean movements.  If no barbell, use DBs.

NOTE: The option for Power Cleans should only be used if there is an actual medical condition preventing you from doing squat cleans.  If it is a matter of comfort, stick with squat cleans even if it means going light.  Take today to get comfortable in these positions so in the future you can move higher loads.

In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.

This workout was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it “Body Armor”. From here on it will be referred to as “Murph” in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.

Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you’ve got a twenty-pound vest or body armor, wear it.

Quick Fitness Center Update:  The Combat PT Tent is now open M-F 0500-2100.  The Tent will stay closed on the weekends until further notice.  Also, still no organized classes yet.  Fingers crossed for some time in June.  The main Fitness Center is open 0500-2100 through the week, with access to registered CAC cards from 2100-0500.  Also, the gym is still only open for ACTIVE DUTY personnel.  Again, we are slowly getting closer and closer to normal, so as things change, we will keep you updated.

Barbell Warmup:

S/S/S:

Deadlift:

12 Minutes to work up to a Heavy Single

Video courtesy of Mobility WOD.  Good archived video of Kelly Starrett discussing proper load order in the Deadlift.  Take the first 12 minutes today and just work on building to a heavy Deadlift Single.  If you don’t get close to your 1RM, not a big deal.  It has been a while since we have gone heavy, so just want to remind the muscles what it feels like to get some heavy weight on them.  If you are able to build in weight, start with a couple of sets of 5 reps, up the weight and do a couple of sets at 3 reps, then one set at 2 (climbing again), then spend the rest of the time doing singles, adding weight each time.  If limited on weight, pick a rep scheme that is challenging and maintain that rep count every set.
