2 x
10 Scapular Pull-Ups
10 Pause Cossack Squats (2 sec on Each Rep)
5 Inchworm to Hollow (1-2 sec Pause at Extension)
Specific Prep
3 High Hang Muscle Clean
3 Front Squat
3 High Hang Squat Clean
3 Split Jerk w/ Pause in Dip and Pause in Catch
-
3 Hang Muscle Clean
2 Hang Squat Clean
1 Split Jerk w/ Pause in Dip and Pause in Catch
1 Low Hang Squat Clean
1 Split Jerk w/ Pause in Dip and Pause in Catch
-
Clean Lift Off + Slow Pull Power Clean
Hang Squat Clean + Split Jerk w/ Pause in the Catch
Squat Clean + Split Jerk
Every 2:30 x 5 Sets:
Power Clean + Hang Squat Clean + Split Jerk
Rest :10-:20
Squat Clean + Split Jerk
Starting at 60-70% of 1RM Clean and Jerk and building to a heavy for the day, ending around 85%. The focus is power through the hips with a fast drive under the barbell into a quality receiving position in the squat with elbows high. Drive up and out of the hole with a tight core. On the jerk, focus on a vertical drive of the torso through the bar before punching through, locking out the arms, and bending the back knee in the catch.
Modifications:
Level 1: Reduce load to a weight that allows clean mechanics across all sets; hang power clean + push press is acceptable if the squat clean is not yet consistent.
Hotel Gym / Travel: Dumbbell power clean + push press complex, building in load across 5 sets.
Move through progressions of the bar muscle-up prior to the EMOM:
Low [Banded Bar Muscle-Up](Low Banded Bar Muscle Up)
