2-3 Sets, Building to Starting Weight
Slow Pull Power Clean + Power Clean
1 Power Clean
Start at 60% of 1RM Power Clean and build each minute to a heavy single for the day.)
Athletes should be adding load deliberately, not chasing a number at the expense of position. The catch must be locked in and athletic at every percentage. If the pull starts breaking down, hold the load or take a smaller jump rather than grinding through poor mechanics.
Other Adjustments:
10:00 EMOM
3 Power Cleans @ 70%
For athletes not looking to max out today; consistent, clean reps at a fixed moderate percentage across all ten minutes.
Modifications:
Level 1: 10:00 EMOM, 3 Hang Power Cleans at 6-8 RPE. Moderate, consistent loading across all ten minutes with a focus on mechanics and a strong catch position.
Hotel Gym / Travel: 10:00 EMOM, 5 Dual Dumbbell Hang Power Cleans, building to a challenging but controlled load that maintains vertical pull and a solid receiving position.
5 Sumo Deadlifts
+
3 High Box Jumps
Complete all four sets between 100-105% of your 5×5 Sumo Deadlift Test Week 2 of the Cycle load. Reps should be touch-and-go or a slight re-brace and reset at the bottom; do not fully release.)
The high box jump is programmed as a superset to drive neural activation and recruitment.
Modifications:
Level 1: 5 Sumo Deadlifts across at 7/10 RPE, then 5 Box Jumps or Squat Jumps. Trap Bar Deadlifts or Traditional Deadlifts can be substituted anytime the sumo stance position is creating a mechanical issue.
Hotel Gym / Travel: 5 Dumbbell Romanian Deadlifts at a heavy but controlled load, paired with 3 broad jumps or standing vertical jumps for the explosive component.
