    Squat Clean

    1-1-1-1-1-1-1

    Work up to a strong effort squat clean. Start light and increase in small increments after successful lifts. If you are still working on learning the clean begin by catching the bar above parallel and ride it down into the bottom of your squat. Only add weight if you are able to smoothly ride the bar down.  If your mobility is challenging you play with your foot and hand positions to find your optimal squatting stance. The bar should be racked on your shoulders with your elbows in front of the bar as you stand up.  Only increase the load if you have the mechanics down.

    Odd Sustainable set of Strict Pull-Ups
    Even Handstand Hold

    Start with a number you think you can maintain and try to hold that number for 5 rounds.  Be sure to give yourself some recovery time before you kick up into the handstand and come down  early enough to get on the pull-up bar. Plan on working for ten minutes and don’t go to failure in the first round!

    E2MOM for 14 minutes

    3 Push Press (from the floor)

    Work up to a moderate effort Push Press and perform 3 every round. Remember this is both a strength and skill exercise! It’s totally natural to turn this movement into a Jerk by re-bending the knees so most of us will have to make a conscious effort to push with the legs and then drive with the arms while keeping the legs straight.  Practice catching the bar with soft knees and rebounding into your next rep.

    3 Power Snatch

    Work up to a light to moderate weight and perform 7 rounds of 3 power snatches every 2 minutes. Try to do your reps touch and go if you can. Make sure you are dropping underneath the bar to catch it a partial squat. Increase weight from last time if all 21 of your repetitions were perfect. If you are new to weightlifting start light and increase weight if the lifts are going well.

    Squat Snatch
    1-1-1-1-1-1-1

    Work up to a strong effort squat snatch.  Start light and increase in small increments after successful lifts.  If you are still working on learning the snatch begin by catching the bar in a power snatch and ride it down into the bottom of your overhead squat. Only add weight if you are able to smoothly ride the bar down into your squat.  If your mobility is challenging you play with your foot and hand positions to find your optimal squatting stance. Take the bar as deep as you can with the bar remaining over your base of support.

    E2MOM for 14 Minutes

    3 Power Cleans

    Work up to a moderate weight and perform 7 sets of 3 reps every 2 minutes for 14 minutes.   New lifters should start with a moderate weight and work on  catching the bar with elbows up and in a partial squat.  You should be dropping lower with each rep to catch the bar rather than yanking it off the floor.   Add weight if the progression is going well. For experienced lifters target 70% for your starting weight.
