Our Clean Complex for this cycle will build on last cycle and help us transition even more from the Power Clean into Squat Cleans while also getting some much-needed work on the first pull of our Cleans.  One rep will consist of 1 Clean Pull, 1Power Clean, and a Low Hang (right below the knee) Squat Clean.  Notice you’ll have three distinct hip extensions in this complex.  First one helps reinforce keeping the arms straight until the pull is done, the second gets you used to fast elbows to catch the bar, and the third you’ll look to DROP fast into the bottom of the squat to receive the bar.

“Smooth is steady, steady is fast” That should be your mantra during the bar facing burpees.  Keep a smooth movement going from dropping down, to coming up to the bar, to a quick hop over and drop into the next rep.
