Spend some time focusing on the Burgener Warmup with a Clean grip.

Then every 3 minutes for 18 minutes

  • 2 x Hang Power Clean
  • 1 x Power Clean
  • 2 x Strict Press
  • 1 x Push Press

Then every 3 minutes for 9 minutes

  • 10 x Clean and Press (take a 1-2 second pause between reps to refocus on form)

Then 3 sets of

  • 3 x Bicycles (L+R=1 rep)
  • 3 x Knee Tucks
  • Immediately repeat for 3 rounds

Rest as needed between sets.

Results: Part 1 – 130lbs (barely got my elbows under the bar for the final hang clean). Part 2 – 95lbs. Very happy with this version of clean and press. The 10 reps are challenging, but given the 3 minute time to complete them you can focus on proper form for each individual rep. Had about 90 seconds to rest between sets.

Every 2 minutes for 6 minutes

Then every 2 minutes for 6 minutes

  • 1 x Power Clean
  • 3 x Jerk Press

Then Crossfit New England’s Double Boat Grace, 6 rounds for time

  • 500 Meter Row
  • 10 x Power Clean and Jerk @ 75% of final weight from above

Rest 1 minute between rounds.

Results: Got up to 125lbs for the Clean and Jerk, so used 95lbs for the metcon…31:22 including rests. First round went out very hot 1:50 row all 10 reps unbroken, probably too much. The rest of the rounds settled into a 2:00-2:06 row and 5-3-2 rep scheme on the C&J. Seemed like a nice pace.
