Tuesday – 022112 – Hang Snatch, Row, Deadlift, Burpees…

For most lifters, coming up out of the hole is where form begins to deteriorate. Often times, knees collapse, the hips pull away from the midline and the torso drops forward adding tremendous amounts of sheer pressure to the low back. In this picture, however, we have a strong finish; weight's back on heels, neutral neck position, knees and toes tracking, and an upright chest.


Hang Snatch:

3-3-3-3-3

For time:

500 M Row
3 x
10 Deadlift (225/163)
15 Burpees
500 M Row

Monday – 022012 – Complexes are good…

Jeff A.


For load:

3 Deadlifts +
1 Power Clean +
2 Front Squats +
2 Push Jerks +
2 Back Squats +
1 Push Jerk (from behind the head)

This complex should be addressed the same way the bear complex is. This means that there is no setting the bar down during the complex. Athletes must make it through the entire set, completing each rep legitimately, for the load to be considered complete. Athletes should plan to take a couple of warm-up sets before getting to the work sets. It is the goal that each athlete will have at least 4 solid work sets, each of which should be within 10% of the final weight completed.

Rest as needed between sets.
