Clean + Front Squat + Thruster (20 Min to Go Heavy )

As an unbroken complex:
Full Clean
Front Squat
Thruster

You will warm up and then put 20 min on the clock and try to find your heaviest set possible of the complex. Complex must be unbroken, which means you must hold onto the bar for all 3 parts without dropping the bar.

For the Full Clean, the bar will start on the ground. Feet are under the hips and hands are outside of the legs. Heels are down, knees are bent and there will be a hinge at the hips. Back is flat with the chest up. Arms are long and straight.

To lift the bar, you will drive the heels into the ground as you lift the chest and pull the bar into the body. Once past the knees you will pick up speed. Keeping the arms straight stand up (jump) hard and fast. Shrug the shoulders. As the bar starts to travel up, pull the elbows high and outside to keep the bar close to the body. Pull YOURSELF DOWN under the bar. Bring the elbows around and through FAST as you pull down. You will land in a solid front squat with your heels down, knees out, butt lower than the knees, chest up, elbows high, belly tight! No plopping or rounding. Stand by driving the heels down and leading with the elbows.

Then you will perform a front squat. Elbows stay up. Belly stays tight. Reach the butt back and down to the bottom of the squat. Once again, stand.

For the thruster you will do ONE MORE front squat. This time as you stand out of the squat you will pick up speed. Almost jump with the bar to pop it off of the shoulders. Move the face out of the way. Press the bar straight up and lock out over the middle of the body with the biceps by the ear. Keep the belly tight!

So altogether, you will be squatting THREE TIMES for one complex - once in the full clean, once in the front squat, and another in the thruster!
