Performance (Leg focused):
Tip: CLEAN PROGRESSION
Clean Progression
The clean progression for this training cycle is all about challenging the jerk. The jerk can be challenged in many different ways. Adding front squats to the complex is a common way to challenge the jerk. The front squats fatigue the legs, necessitating more emphasis on the leg drive in the jerk dip. If you can get comfortable with a jerk after a few front squats, the jerk after a clean or power clean will feel easy. Another way we challenge the jerk in this training cycle is by adding a second rep after the power clean. The second rep requires a controlled rerack and a quick second chance to improve what might have gone wrong in the first rep. This training cycle will end with a complex of 1 power clean plus 2 split jerks
