A. 1 slow flat-foot clean pull (5 sec from ground to hip) + 1 squat clean x8, rest as needed
*re-set before clean
**work as close to last week’s heavy as you can
Built to attempting last week’s heavy. Frustrated with these a bit today. I felt like I had way more in the tank on the pull but I couldn’t catch the bar right. I noticed in the video I am definitely letting it crash a bit. My shoulders felt really tight today so maybe that had something to do with it. Overall I’m just disappointed.
B. 3 FS @ 75-85% x4, rest 2 min
*increase loading from last week
