General Training Notes
Clean & Jerk Focus: Feel free to draw out your jerk landing position for the jump to split drill (diagram HERE). Reinforcing where your feet go for your split jerk is very important – quality reps = progress! You’ll start with a low hang clean + jerk. From the low hang position you should feel your hamstrings taut, back engaged and knees back. This is the position you want to find when you pull from the floor. You’ll get the opportunity to do that after 6 sets of a low hang clean and jerk. Then you are just adding more power to your pull by moving into a full clean and jerk but be mindful that you are hitting that low hang position when pulling from the floor. You’ll finish out with some heavy pulls.

Conditioning: What a fun workout you have in store for you today! With the dubs you should aim to be nice and relaxed – whether that is with planned breaks or not. If you trip that’s fine just shake the arms then keep going. After that you’ve got a chunk of bar muscle ups / pull-ups that should be manageable to knock out in 2-3 sets. Then we’re on to the alternating pistol squats and we’ve got some volume for you today. Aim to just piece through these at a sustainable pace. Make sure every rep is counting and no rep yourself if the opposition leg touches the floor before fully standing up. If you blow the first 20 out of the water then struggle through the final reps having to take a lot of breaks, then you didn’t do yourself any favors. Try to keep the same pace going for the full amount of reps. After that you’re back to the double unders and your lower half will probably be on fire. This will take some grit to keep hopping through these but try to stay smooth and keep the rope moving. Again, if you trip just shake it off and keep moving, try to avoid getting frusterated. Then you’ll find yourslef back at the bar muscle ups / pull ups and this should be by feel. If you can, go for unbroken here. I know your heart rate will be up, your legs will be tired, but your grip shouldn’t be too bad witht he goal of 2 sets or less. Once those are done you’ve got light at the end of the tunnel so now you can push on the final pistols. Again, just make sure that you’re getting full depth on the pistols as well as full extension before switching legs. A lot of people get hammered in video review for those two things so film yourself to ensure you meet the movement standard.
