Run 200 Meters

Run 200 Meters

10 Squat Clean and Jerks @ 135#


This workout should take about 12 minutes. I encourage each of you to understand the difference between each of the above movements. Through this practice I believe it will become more clear. 


Remember: with the power clean it is not necessary to break parallel, nor is it encouraged in this movement. The power clean is a great movement to develop explosive hip extension but lacks the necessary front squat position for when loads get extremely heavy.


The squat clean is mainly taught at our gym for its ability to teach you how to get under large loads quickly. However, at times there is a disadvantage to mainly using this since it doesn't give you the opportunity to focus solely on the drive but instead mainly on the catch.
