Score: Total Time

Goal: 10-12 Min or Less

NOTES:

For this one you may use a single kb/db or a pair of lighter dumbbells.

For the hang power clean you will deadlift the DB/KB to the "hang" position at the hips with straight arms, feet are under the hips. You will bend the knees and keep the heels down. Allow a slight hinge at the hips. Keep the arms straight. Stand up hard and fast. Shrug the shoulders. Pull the elbows high and shoot the elbows around and through FAST to allow the DB/KB to land at the shoulder/chest. You can pull yourself under slightly if you are comfortable and catch in just a partial front squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up.

For the air squats you will put the weight down.  Stand with feet shoulder width apart.  Heels down.  Stand tall. Belly tight.  Reach the butt back and down.  Keep belly tight and chest lifted.  Heels down and knees driving out.  Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom with the heels down, knees out, chest up, butt back.  NO COLLAPSING!  Raise the hands up to help keep chest lifted.

If you are unable to go that low without shifting forward or collapsing.  You may squat to a target.  You can also use a pole or chair or something to help you balance.  Don't PULL on it to come up though.  Use your legs and booty!

For the push ups you may do regular, knee, or even elevated push ups.  Keep the belly tight and torso in a solid position. Elbows should do BACK and not flare out.  Bring chest and thighs down to touch together.  No worming or snaking to come up!

FRIDAY 2.1.19

PROGRAM B

5 Rounds

50 Double Unders
10 Hang Power Cleans
10 Jerks

RX Men: 40# DBs
RX Women: 25# DBs

RX+ Men: 50 # DBs
RX + Women: 35# DBs

Score: Total Time

Goal: Under 15 MinThis one is meant to keep you moving the whole time.  Pick a number of double unders that you can finish in under 1:30 and pick a weight that you won't have to break more than once in the cleans or the jerks.

For the double unders you can lower the reps all the way down to 30 if you need to because you still can't string them really well.  If you are only able to get like 2-3 double unders at a time - it is best to sub dumbbell hop overs for this workout. You can sub singles too. If you sub singles sub 2x reps.

For the hang power clean you will deadlift the bar to the "hang" position at the hips with straight arms.  You will have the hands just outside of the legs and the feet are under the hips.  You will bend the knees and keep the heels down.  Allow a slight hinge at the hips.  Keep the arms straight and the bar close to the body.  Stand up hard and fast.  Shrug the shoulders.  Pull the elbows high and outside to keep the bar close as you pull yourself down under it.  Shoot the elbows around and through FAST to allow the bar to land on the shoulders with the elbows high.  You will catch in a partial front squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up.  Stand to complete the rep and then lower the bar back to the hips for the next rep.

The bar will start up high on the shoulders with the elbows in front. 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.  Stand.
