Coach Jonathan

(1:30 PM) Sameer, Jeff, Chuck, Donna, Jen, new girl and me

Warm Up

Ankle distraction, banded shoulder stretches, deep squat, foam rolling

Hang Power Clean

Work up to heavy

3@45#
3@95#
3@115#
3@135#
1@155# (this was ugly)
2@145# (this felt like a 2RM)

We also tried jumping from knees to feet.  This was clever and helps with clean form by overcoming mental blocks with landing low.  To up level can have arms in front rack or overhead.

Super Sets

1)  3 Rounds of 10 push-ups and 10 reverse dumbbell fly's (20#)
2)  3 Rounds of 10 axe choppers each side (25#) and 10 weighted pike sit-ups (25#)
3)  4 Rounds of 30 seconds Forward Leaning Rest (FLR, push-up position), 30 seconds Superman

Finish with Pigeon Stretch and couch stretch on bench (ankle hooks over bench, stand straight up to get a good quad stretch.
