Skill

EMOM for 10 Minutes

1 Power Clean + 2 Split Jerk

Today we feature another part of the clean & jerk  by focusing on the  split jerk.  If you were able to participate yesterday you practiced the squat clean with extra front squats.  For this complex work with a weight light enough that you can clean it from the floor and catch in a partial squat before you setup for your jerk sequence.  You will need to mange bringing the bar down from overhead safely and for that reason you load may be much lighter than what you work with for strong effort lifts.

 

WOD

AMRAP in 10 Minutes
10 Push Press 115/75 lb
30 Double Under

Workout notes: Remember that for the push press you will be working on an explosive dip and drive just as in the jerk but you will finish pressing overhead with only your arms rather that re-bending your knees to catch the weight.  If you don’t quite have double unders yet give the movement an honest effort by at least attempting a few double unders every round.
