Clean and Jerk Efficiency

Hey Vic City,

The Wednesday/Thursday class workout gives you the opportunity to work on your Power Clean and Jerk. I find stringing multiple reps together of this seems to really jack up the heart rate, regardless of what the weight is on the bar. When doing higher reps in one set, it helps to be as efficient as possible, to limit the fatigue. I pulled out an old video from 2013 of Rich Froning talking about how he transitions from overhead into the next clean when going touch and go. This will be useful to try during the 5 reps at a light weight during the WOD.

If your wrists are giving you some issues, try some banded front rack stretches to loosen up your lats.

Enjoy!
