Then for time:

Comments Off on Clean, Squat and Strict Press Complex then Clusters

Take 20 minutes or so to do 5 sets of the following complex:

  • 3 x Power Clean
  • 3 x Front Squat
  • 3 x Strict Press

Increase weight each set to the working weight for the next part.

Then, every 3 minutes for 15 minutes (5 sets) do the following:

  • Set1 – 3 x Clusters (Squat Clean Thruster) @ 80% weight from above
  • Set2 – 4 x Clusters (Squat Clean Thruster) @ 80% weight from above
  • Set3 – 5 x Clusters (Squat Clean Thruster) @ 80% weight from above
  • Set4 – 6 x Clusters (Squat Clean Thruster) @ 80% weight from above
  • Set5 – 7 x Clusters (Squat Clean Thruster) @ 80% weight from above

Results:  Got up to 135lbs/63kg in the first part so for the second part used 110lbs/50kg.

Not for time do 5 sets of:

  • 3 x Pause Front Squats (Stop for a 3 second pause at the bottom of the squat.  The idea is to focus on form at the bottom; elbows up, core tight.)

Increase weight each round working up to the weight for the next part (so don’t try and get to a 3 rep max).

Then two sets of the following, rest 3 minutes between sets:

  • 8 x Front Squats @ final weight from above

Then do AMRAP in 12 minutes of:

  • 10 x Burpees over the Barbell
  • 15 x  Thrusters @ 75lbs
  • 20 x Renegade Rows @ 14kg

Results:  For the Front Squats did 65, 95, 115, 125, 135lbs.  For the AMRAP did 3 rounds plus 10 Burpees, 15  Thrusters, 10 RRows.   75lbs Thrusters is a killer weight, heavy enough to be hard but not too heavy that I couldn’t do the first round unbroken.
