Our new Strength Cycle begins with a classic Clean Complex, the 3-position Clean.  We will do one clean from the floor, hold onto the bar, and do one Clean from Below the Knee, hold onto the bar, and finish with one Clean above the knee).  With each clean, you will become more and more dependent on your VIOLENT hip extension to make the bar move fast so you can get under it.  The stronger we make the hips here, the stronger they will be when we shoot for a new 1RM.  Also, at the end of each set, hit one Jerk.  It is up to you if you want to do Push Jerk or Split Jerk.

WOD:

3 Rounds for Time:

12 Dual DB Hang Power Cleans (50/35)

9 Dual DB Front Squats

6 Dual DB Push Press

 

*100M Dual DB Farmer walk after each round

No lie, your grip will get smoked today.  But, push yourself not to give into that fatigue and hold onto these DBs through the set.  IF you need to put the DBs down, try to do it before and right after the farmer walks.

Cool Down:

Couch Stretch – 2 Min per side
