WOD:
Squat Cleans
1 Rep every minute on the minute for 15 minutes
No prescribed weight but this is what I did on 3/5:
5-5-5-5-5-1-1-1-1
Loads: 95-95-105-115-115-125-135-135-135
On 3/23, we did hang power cleans:
5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1-1
105-115-125-135-135-145-145-145-145
Last Saturday, I worked on power cleans as well and topped out at 135. I've actually gone backwards in cleans over the last two months. My notes on 3/23 suggest I need to do more shrugs and scarecrows. I need to get more serious about cleans, that's for sure.
Today's goal: Squat Clean #145
Here are my results from today:
105/110/115/120/125/135/140/145/150/155/160/160/160/160
Scott sent some videos of me doing the squat clean at both 120 and 160. In both, there is little to no explosive force, which tells me I'm doing something wrong. At 160, I'm basically using my shoulder muscles to bring the weight up. It's awesome that I'm getting strong enough to do that, but that isn't the point of the lift. Even at 120, where I handle the weight very easily, there's basically no explosive force.
The encouraging part of this is that if I can figure out what I'm doing wrong, I could probably take a huge jump upward in this lift.
