Monday, 26 March

Welcome back from the weekend.  Today we will focus on the most powerful lift there is - the clean and jerk.  You can't find a lift that moves a heavier load such a great distance in such a short time.  The clean and jerk moves the barbell from the floor to the locked out position overhead.

    Another thing that needs to be worked on. Fun workout though.

  2. for me it was more like a power clean and press - I never dropped below parallel for the clean and my terrible form on the 'jerk' was actually a push press.

    Thanks to Matt and Leigh for the tips and coaching!

    Terrible form kept me from lifting the loads I should have been able to. Something else to work on!
