Second strike at Clean Pulls this cycle. Hitting these will also help break the habit of an early arm bend in the clean.  Normally folks will pull early as an anticipation of having to move the bar up to the shoulders for the catch. By sticking with just hitting the pull, you’ll see by not bending the arms, the hips are able to generate even more force on the movement.

Video courtesy of OPEX Fitness. Little Deadlift/burpee box jump over ladder for our Wednesday fun!  Look to keep the burpee box jump overs smooth and continuous.  Don’t red-line them, but don’t walk.  This way, you got it in the tank to go unbroken or hit big chunks on the deadlifts
