Our Clean & Jerk complex for this cycle will help dial in the power of the hip extension.  Each rep of the complex will consist of a Clean (preferably squat), followed by a hang clean (preferably squat), and one Jerk (preferably split).  With the times per set, these will turn more into an EMOM more than anything.  Still, plenty of time to get the reps in.

Today’s WOD will push the cardio threshold just enough to be on the border of uncomfortable.  If you feel the breathing get harder as you go along, good.  Means you are pushing correctly.  Stick with it!
