Warm-up: front rack mobility

A.  High hang clean + hang clean from knees + clean. Stay connected. Get in at least 5 working sets of the complex. 

B. Death by back squat @ 65% of 1RM. It’s been a while since we’ve done this!! Find your old numbers so you know exactly what to beat on this. It’s up to you if you’d rather stay at your previous weight and try to get in more reps, or if you want to use your most recent 1 RM (4/1/15 was a heavy single). Either way, we are trying to see some concrete progress here!

C1. 2×10 barbell bent-over rows, 1 set max reps

C2. 2×10 ring/stationary dips, 1 set max reps

*aternate the push/pull movements. That last set should be all the way to fatigue/can’t hit full ROM any more

Warm-up: front and back of the shoulder mobility, lat roll-out to open up your sides/back

A.  2 hang power cleans + 2 push jerks (yes, I want everyone to push jerk today, even if it’s not your go-to style). 1 set of the complex every 2:30 x 8 rounds, increase weight each round as form allows

B.  OHS – 15min to work to heavy single, then 1 set max reps at 80%

C.  5 rounds: 5 KB PP on the right, 50ft waiter’s walk, 5 KB PP on the left, 50 ft waiter’s walk, 25 KB swings. Here’s the kicker: you will have 2:30 to perform round 1, any remaining time will be rest. You will have 2:20 to perform round 2, 2:10 for round 3, 2:00 for round 4, and 1:50 for round 5. It’s going to take some mental stamina to get it all in, but I know you guys can do it!!
