OLY | WEEK 21 | 05/16/2021
Hey Team! This week's Oly Workout is Session 12 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
UPPER BODY BARBELL WARM UP
WORKOUT
PART 1
EVERY MINUTE ON THE MINUTE FOR 9 MINUTES
1 Power Clean + Jerk
Rest 2 Minutes before Part 2
COACHES NOTES
Pick one weight to stick with each minute or add weight each time! Whatever feels good and allows you to move with proper form.
BARBELL POWER CLEAN AND JERK
The clean AND jerk together counts as 1 rep.
The Feet are under the hips with the heels down, hands outside of the legs and bar close to the body. Knees are bent and there is a hinge at the hips. Chest is lifted with a flat back and a tight belly. Lift the bar by digging the heels into the ground and lifting the chest. Once past the knee think about finishing UP hard and fast with the legs. Shrug the shoulders and then guide the bar UP the body - keeping it close - with the elbows going high and outside as you pull yourself under slightly. Bring the elbows around and through fast so that the bar will land on your shoulders in a partial dip position with the heels down and chest up. From here you can stand and re-set or go straight into the jerk.
If you stand you will re-dip - if not you will go straight from that dip position - drive the bar off of the shoulders - move the face back. Push the bar up as you push yourself down! Catch in a partial overhead squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up, and bar locked out over the middle of the body. Stand to finish!
PART 2
EVERY MINUTE ON THE MINUTE FOR 9 MINUTES

COACHES NOTES
Pick one weight to stick with each minute or add weight each time! Whatever feels good and allows you to move with proper form.
BARBELL SQUAT CLEAN AND JERK
The clean AND jerk together counts as 1 rep.
The Feet are under the hips with the heels down, hands outside of the legs and bar close to the body. Knees are bent and there is a hinge at the hips. Chest is lifted with a flat back and a tight belly. Lift the bar by digging the heels into the ground and lifting the chest. Once past the knee think about finishing UP hard and fast with the legs. Shrug the shoulders and then guide the bar UP the body - keeping it close - with the elbows going high and outside as you pull yourself under slightly. Bring the elbows around and through fast so that the bar will land on your shoulders in the bottom of the squat with the heels down and chest up. From here you can stand and re-set or go straight into the jerk.
If you stand you will re-dip - if not you will go straight from that dip position - drive the bar off of the shoulders - move the face back. Push the bar up as you push yourself down! Catch in a partial overhead squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up, and bar locked out over the middle of the body. Stand to finish!
4x3 Clean Pull
COACHES NOTES
Use the heaviest weight you hit in the session for those reps.
CLEAN PULL
This movement is just the first half of the clean - lifting the bar off the ground and driving hard and fast through the legs and hips to accelerate it upward. Start with the bar on the ground. Hands will be outside of the legs. Feet under the hips roughly. Knees are bent, bar is close to the body, chest is up, arms are straight. Stand by driving the heels down and lifting the chest. Stand up hard and fast (jump) SHRUG the shoulders.
4x3 Pause Back Squat
COACHES NOTES
Hold the bottom of the squat for a solid 3 seconds before standing out of each rep. Choose a weight that you could do 6-8 reps of WITHOUT a pause.
PAUSE BACK SQUAT
Start with the bar on the back. The feet should be shoulder width apart. Heels down. Raise the chest and tighten the belly. Reach the butt back and down and drive the knees out. Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom. No collapsing or rounding the back at the bottom! Hold for 2-3 seconds then drive through the heels, lead with the chest, keep the belly tight, and push the knees out as you come up! Stand all of the way up at the top.
