General Training Notes:
I love slow pull cleans! I see so many people rush the barbell off the floor and miss a lift that they should have had. The slow pull helps fix this and forces you to focus on your first pull positioning. Your speed should gradually increase, reaching your maximal speed by the time the bar gets to your hips. Your call on either making this a power or split jerk; just stick to whichever option you choose.
Your conditioning piece today has a lot of gymnastics pulling in it so you all will prep for it by incorporating some drills prior to 3,2,1 go. These drills are meant to help prime your body for efficient gymnastics but adjust the volume if you feel like your hands could tear!
This is a FUN conditioning piece today! Keep your db snatches unbroken, smooth but fast on your run, then break up the pull ups and bmu/c2b as needed based on your skill level. Try to only come off the bar if you start losing your rhythm; otherwise test out your pulling endurance today and keep on the bar for some big sets! Please record how you broke up your reps!
