OLY | WEEK 19 | 05/02/2021
Hey Team! This week's Oly Workout is Session 10 from the NEW Oly EMOM Extra Program! The 12 workouts found in this program are designed for those who love the Olympic Lifts - Clean and Jerk / Snatch - and who want to throw them into their training - while being efficient with their time.
As a part of the Oly EMOM Extra Program we have also included some “Optional Lifting” work to increase strength in ways that will carry-over to the Olympic Lifts. If you have time - and so desire - you can add this work in after the main EMOM.
WARM UP
BARBELL CLEAN WARM UP
WORKOUT
EVERY 90 SEC FOR 10 ROUNDS (15 MIN)

COACHES NOTES
You can perform either push or split jerks for this session!
Pick one weight to stick with each round or add weight each time! Whatever feels good and allows you to move with proper form.
If you'd like, when the clock hits 15 Min - spend 5 minutes hitting some Squat Clean & Jerk singles (one rep at a time)!
BARBELL SQUAT CLEAN
You will start with the bar on the ground. Hands will be outside the legs with about a hip width stance with the feet!
You will have a slight bend in the knee, heels down, arms straight, bar close to the body, chest up.
Stand keeping the arms long and bar close to the body. Drive through the heels and pick up speed after you pass the knees. Almost jump with the bar as you shrug the shoulders, and pull yourself underneath as the elbows shoot through and the bar lands on the shoulder. You will land in the bottom of the squat with the elbows high. Knees are out, heels are down, chest is up. Do not collapse in this position.
To stand, lead with the chest and elbows. Stand fully for each rep.
PUSH JERK
The bar will start up high on the shoulders with the elbows in front. You may clean the bar from the ground or take it from the rack. Your feet are under your hips and your heels are down. Stand tall, belly tight.
Dip keeping the heels down, allowing the knees to come forward and out, and hips staying back. Keep the chest up and do not let the weight pull you forward. From here you will stand up hard and fast. Drive the power from the legs into the bar. Move your face out of the way and think of pressing the bar up as you press YOURSELF DOWN under it. Feet may move slightly wider - but no wider than your squat stance (shoulder width).
You will land with your weight in your heels, knees bent and out, butt back, and bar locked out over the middle of your body. Press into the bar and keep the belly tight. Stand completely.
When lowering the bar back to the shoulders absorb with the knees and either go into the next rep or re-set for the next rep.
SPLIT JERK
Same points of performance apply here except you'll shift your feet into a lunge/split squat stance rather than into your squat stance. Be sure to bring both feet back beneath your hips and stand fully before lowering the barbell from overhead.
Optional Lifting
4 x 3 Pause Front Squat
5 x 2 Push Press
