Power Clean Technique Work

Handstand Practice

Were going to be more strict about back-off weeks. Instead of posting workouts and asking you to take it easy, we'll be working technique on upcoming lifts and doing some fun stuff. This back off week will last until Friday. Enjoy!

What's a back-off? Read the original write up here.

Thanks for all the great feedback yesterday! It's easy to get into a rhythm of doing things a certain way, hearing ideas from the community is a great way to try and keep programming fresh.

CFSBK wishes a speedy recovery to Matt U who sustained a pectoral injury last night Bench Pressing.  Get well soon, Matt!!

Good luck to Steph P, Joe W and Sameer P at the Tough Mudder this weekend!

Please do not throw the brown paper towels into the toilet!!

Training-wise, what is something you'd like to see more of at CFSBK?

Perform 3 sets of the following complex for a maximal weight.
6 Deadlifts
3 Mid Hang Power Cleans
1 Push Jerk

You have 5 attempts to find a best complex. The bar may be dropped from overhead after the jerk but must be regripped and pulled shortly after it settles.

Post 5 attempts to comments.

If you're feeling beat up, consider scaling the volume back to three attempts and using lighter loads.
