Coaches Choice
1: 10-Rep Touch & Go Power Clean (Weight)
STIMULUS
Working on barbell cycling today, building to a heavy 10-Rep Touch & Go Power Clean
You are allowed to pause in the front rack and at the hips, but not on the ground
Cycling heavier weights for high reps will prime you to string together smaller sets of 3 once we get to “Blockbuster”
STRATEGY
10 reps for a lot of sets can be fairly taxing
When building up to your heavy set of 10, complete sets of 5-7 at the lighter weights
Once you feel like you are in your true “working sets” is when you should start going with sets of 10
See movement prep below for a possible warmup/working set breakdowns
MOVEMENT FOCUS
Use Your Legs
A power clean is still a power clean as long as it is above parallel. Use all the space you have, especially during those last few reps. Instead of jumping the feet wide, drop underneath the bar and receive it in a quarter squat with the legs. We won’t be able to get as much elevation on the bar when we are fatigued both here and in “Blockbuster” to follow. Pulling yourself underneath the bar will help you maximize your weight and squeak out those last few tough reps.
MOVEMENT PREP
Warmup Sets
3-5 Sets of 5-7 Reps @ Lighter Weights
