Empty Barbell Movement Primer
Three sets of:
Overhead Squat x 5 reps
(use a progressively narrower grip for every set)
Rest as needed
Followed by…
Two sets of:
Front squat x 5 reps @ 2210
Rest as needed
Followed by…
Two sets of:
1+1/4 Front Squat x 5 reps
Rest as needed
A.
Take 15 minutes to build to a 2-RM Overhead Squat
B.
Every two minutes, for 12 minutes (6 sets) of:
Power Jerk + 2 Split Jerks
(pause for 3 seconds in receiving of both split jerks)
C.
Three sets of:
50-Foot Overhead Carry
Rest 2-3 minutes
Ideally this should be performed with a yoke but if you do not have access to a yoke use a barbell loaded with chains or kettlebells attached using bands. BE SAFE!
*Keep your elbows locked out throughout the movement, with absolutely NO shrugging. Shoulders have to be locked down in position while walking.
**Athletes should be able to achieve at least a 50-foot overhead carry with their 1-RM Snatch weight, and their goal should be to achieve that distance with their 1-RM Clean and Jerk weight.
D.
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 25 minutes of:
400 Meter Run
30 Wall Ball Shots (20/14 lbs)
20 Dumbbell Box Step-Overs (50/35 lb DBs to 24″/20″)
10 Devils Press (50/35 lb DBs)
Empty Barbell Movement Primer: Done
A. 255 lbs
B. Up to 185 lbs
C. Done
D. 2 Rounds + 9 DB Step Over
3×5 OHS done, better with the narrow grip than I thought
2×5 tempo FS: 115/135
2×5 1 1/4 FS: 145/145
A. 170 – I think that ties my PR, not sure
B. Kept these light: 95/100/105/115/125/135
C. No yoke, worked up to 25# KBs on bands on each side of a 35 barbell
D. 2 + 6/10 Devil’s press – woof.
Hopefully my ? isn’t too sore for 19.1 on Friday morning ?
C. 255, yoke, 8 times ×50
D. 3 rds+ 400 m run
Primer done using 40Kg
A. Stopped at 90Kg. Don’t feel comfortable doing OHS above this weight because of previous shoulder injuries and stability issues. I cap my snatch at 90Kg too
B. 80/85/90/95/100/105Kg
C. Done with 100Kg(regular bar); had a subluxation if left shoulder a couple of years ago while using bamboo bar, bands, and KB. I avoid them now like the plague and stick with a regular bar and weight.
D. 3 rnds + 400m run
Saving your shoulders for 19.1 ?
What happened with the bamboo bar? I’ve seen some awesome progress using it with athletes that have shoulder issues and previous injuries.
