Squat Cleans

Worked for a full hour only on Squat Cleans, modifying based on how I felt.  Started with a moderate weight and worked on form.  Once I felt good with that, I started adding weight to get to a heavy load.  So what is shown below is the results of my session.

Warm up with 3 rounds of the following, start with empty bar and increase weight

  • 3 x Front Squats
  • 3 x Power Cleans

Then 3 rounds for form resting as needed between rounds.  Think medicine ball clean but with a bar.  Try not to pull the bar, rather drop below the bar after full extension.

  • 1.1.1 x Squat Clean @ 115lbs (Pause and reset between reps)

Then 4 rounds working to a heavy load

  • 1.1 x Squat Clean @ 135lbs
  • 1 x Squat Clean @ 145lbs
  • 1 x Squat Clean @ 150lbs
  • 1 x Squat Clean @ 150lbs
  • 1 x Squat Clean @ 150lbs

Results: See above.
