February 16, 2016 – Masters Open Prep

A.
Every minute, on the minute, for 4 minutes:
4-Position Halting Clean Deadlift + Clean
(mid-shin, mid-patella, mid-thigh, high hang)

*To be performed with an empty barbell for 2 sets and then 95/65 lbs for 2 sets

and then . . .

Every 2 minutes, for 20 minutes (10 sets), complete:
Clean x 1 rep

Build in weight over the course of the 10 sets. If you are feeling good, go for a new PR. We have been working on a clean cycle for the past seven weeks, trust your training and trust the positions we have been hitting every week.

If the bar speed doesn’t feel great today then stick with a weight that you feel technically sound with. The goal for today is to feel confident with your lifts.

B.
For max reps:
2 Minutes of Ground to Overhead
Rest 2 minutes
2 Minutes of Ground to Overhead
Rest 2 minutes
2 Minutes of Ground to Overhead

A. Worked up to 130# (5 or 10# post sx PR). Failed 135#.. These were basically muscle cleans. I’m still chicken to “get under” the bar (this is how my ACL tore), so I should back down and work lighter wts to feel more comfortable getting under the bar. Happy with a PR though. 🙂 B. The was a HOT mess!! I was never that great at barbell cycling and this was the first time I went heavier… let’s just say, it was not pretty. On some of my jerks, my bad (and back leg) didn’t even move. I need… Read more »

Great training day Nicky – you learned a lot about what your knee is capable of. Take this a success because you learned so much about yourself today!

A2 135, 155, 185, 195, 205F, 205, 210F, 210, 220x2F
Was trying for new PR @ 220, current 1RM is 215. Felt easy up to 205 then started to
miss. Tending to cave in when I’m over 200, gotta work on receiving and keeping
elbows up. I’ve been at 215 as a PR for awhile now, seems like I’m stuck, technique
Breaking down. Always more to work on!
B G2OH. 9@135/11@115/16@105. This was harder than it looked!
C GHD with 25lb plate
Dragon Flags- that was special!
DB rows @ 35lb

A1. Done A2. 105/115/125/135/140/145/155/165/170/175 Ties PR Didn’t get my elbows around as fast as I would have liked on last couple. Had to adjust them in the squat position. But was happy to get 175 because it has been a few months since I have cleaned that weight and have only done it once before B. Should have warmed up the jerk before starting this set. I assumed that with the cleans at a heavier weight they would be fine. Felt rusty on them, especially that heavier first set. 135 – 7/ 115 – 11/ 105 – 15 C. GHD… Read more »

This was a mess today… there were so many people crowded in the gym that my focus was lost. I tried to get these reps in but it was a hot mess. 135- 3 125- 4 105- 13 Seriously it was like I forgot how to power clean. People were walking in front of me and barbells everywhere. 5 oclock class was packed…I have never seen it so crowded! It was all due to the ice storm… Read more »

A1. Done
A2. 225/235/245/255/265/275/285/295/300/310F everything felt fast and smooth until 295. I hit 300 kinda ugly and it was the heaviest in a long time…got stuck in my head so when I went for a 310 PR attempt it turned into a fast deadlift, didnt have the confidence!
B. 205-10/185-11/155-14 destroyed, no legs left! Lol
C. Done
