So, yes, one set of the Big Clean Complex consist of all 12 reps listed above. The goal is to hold onto the bar the whole time.  That said, I would not make the clean from the ground a touch-and-go.  Don’t take your hands off the bar, but once the bar hits the ground, take a second to reset your hips so your back is not rounded when coming up for the clean.  Rest as needed between sets so you can go unbroken.

Scaling Options:

Squat cleans -> hit power clean, then go into Front Squat

Cool Down:

Roll out T-Spine – 2 Min

Roll out hamstrings – 1 Min per side
