The Clean

The speed and force with which the clean (and, yes, the snatch) drives loads give it developmental properties that other weight training movements cannot match. Deadlifts, squats, and bench presses will never approximate the speed and force and consequently the power required of a clean at larger loads. For this simple reason, while these are important movements, they are not the clean’s peers. Power is that important.

Rebuilding a good credit score can be very frustrating and usually takes up months or even years depending on how consistently you pay bills completely & on time. I used to be among these unfortunate categories until recently when I had this job interview. I was invited to attend by The Mosaic Company in Florida , and after a background-check by the company I was placed on hold because of my terrible credit report score .A 550 FICO score is considered very poor and generally won't get the best terms for loans and credit etc . Thanks to NEWHORIZONCREDIT1 who came to my rescue and performed their magic on my credit score report , now I can boast of a credit score of 790 . contact them at ( NEWHORIZONCREDIT1 AT gmail DOT com ) . Trust me they are reliable ! .

Dang, but these 1K row / barbell WODs hurt! Row pace was: 1:55 / 1:58 / 2:00. Kept it very uncomfortable until the last 100 meters, and then backed off and tried to recover before getting on the bar. All singles for the clean & jerks. Tried to pick up the bar quickly and not rest. By the end, my legs were so shot, I was push pressing instead of jerking.

65 lb. Clean & two leg jerk, not split. Unbroken, but reset for a split second after each rep. Hands never left bar. Next time, 75 lb.


Sub 3:55 row. Try lowering Avg/500m time to just under 1:55.5.


Had to catch breath/recover after every row and C&J.

First time posting, but I have been following the site for a couple years. Anyway, I have bad arthritis in my right shoulder, and cannot come close to pushing or jerking anything over my head. So, would I be better doing sets of 15 squat cleans or use dumbbells, and on the jerk, do a complete jerk with my left arm, while my right arm maybe gets to the top of my head. Any other suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

Jim Rix
May 21st, 2019 at 2:03 pm

Thomas, I hope someone w/ real expertise answers your question. All I can offer is it seems better to as much movement as you can without trashing your shoulder any further, and to not lose any more ROM. I'd be careful doing asymmetrical jerks though, as it seems those could go wrong. Perhaps presses rather than jerks?

Thomas Aug
May 21st, 2019 at 2:31 pm

Thanks, Jim. I can do a full press with my left arm, but nowhere near such with my right. So any presses I do are asymmetrical as well. I do spend time doing stretches and other therapy exercises for my shoulder pretty regularly. Shoulder specialist wants me to put off replacement as long as possible - i.e. pain is not too bad. And usually, it's not too bad. It's very limiting though. For example, even on a squat clean, the weight does not rest on my shoulders, as I cannot come close to getting my right arm into that position. So I am just supporting the weight with my arms.

Thomas, you might try a squat clean using a curl bar. Sounds weird but you can use the bar shape to help make up for the ROM deficiency & get the weight to rest on the shoulders. If you can do snatches, maybe pair your curl bar clean w/ a muscle snatch instead of a jerk.


I’m definitely not an expert, these are things I’ve used to work around some of my old injuries when they flare up. Hope it helps!

Thomas Aug
May 22nd, 2019 at 12:12 pm

JS, thanks for the suggestions. I actually do use a curl bar, but still can't get the weight to rest on my shoulders. I can do a snatch with my left arm, but not my right. Anyway, I did as follows:


Round 1 1000m row; 15 squat cleans with 115lb

Round 2 1000m row; 15 cleans with 40 lb dumbbells, followed by a push press. Left arm extended all the way, right arm barely above head height.

Round 3 - same as round 1 - almost killed me.

Approx. 32 minutes.

Angelina Salazar

Hey Thomas! You can try other shoulder movements that aren't pressing, maybe lateral raises, upright rows, rear felt flys? If those irritate it, I've been having a lot of success with drag curls, essentially its a combo move that hits biceps and lateral and rear delts simultaneously, you can YouTube it for form. But this way you're still building shoulders symmetrically while not going over head. Give it a try next time :)

I broke up the cleans more than I needed to. Those who haven’t done it yet, push harder on the cleans, it’s not that bad.

I agree Sebastien--though my 95# was perfect for me--I probably could have pushed a bit harder on them.

Nice work Sebastien

At first glance, I see this as being a largely rowing dominant workout. I expect higher-level athletes to spend under 4:00 on the row and under 1:30 on the clean and jerks, each round. I’m curious if we will see a sub 15:00 time! Here are some thoughts on scaling:


Rowing: I will have most of my athletes complete the entire distance, each round. In some cases, I will use time guidelines to assess when reducing distance may be beneficial. For example, if I have an athlete that is likely to row the initial 1000 meters in over 5:00 minutes, I will consider reducing the distance each round or have them row for a 5:00 duration each round.


Clean and Jerk- I consider this to be a moderate weight and a somewhat high overall volume of reps that is very achievable when arranged in this fashion. I will have athletes utilize loads that allow for at least consistent singles to be performed. A general rule, for the day, will be that no round of 15 reps should take longer 2:00-2:30. For new or de-conditioned athletes, I may reduce reps on an individual basis. This movement is technically demanding and is essentially all about getting the bar from the floor to an overhead position. I will attempt to preserve this function relative to the capacity of my athletes. Here’s an example of what one rep might look like for an athlete that lacks mechanics: deadlift + hang power clean + push press.

Intended Stimulus

.

Couplets are awesome! This one is a particularly good one. The distance in the rower is such that you can pace yourself very well to get ready to attack the barbell with all you've got. The number of reps and the weight on the barbell is such that you should be able to cycle them pretty consistently and fast even if you are doing singles, which would be a sound strategy for most. These combined facts tell us that this is a pacing workout. Today is an excellent day to work on negative splits. Track the time of each of your rounds and make sure you are starting easy and speeding up. Can you stay patient at the beginning, confident in the middle, and push it at the end? Athletes scaling should pick a weight that they can cycle for 10+ reps unbroken when fresh. If the row is taking you longer than 5:00 then modify the distance to 800 meters.

HOW WELL CAN YOU PACE THIS, SIS?



OPTION 1

3 rounds for time of:

1,000-m row

15 clean and jerks

♀ 65 lb. ♂‚ 95 lb.



OPTION 2

3 rounds for time of:

800-m row

15 deadlift + dip clean + push press

♀ 45 lb. ♂‚ 65 lb.

Started doing OMAD, one meal a day, 6 weeks ago. I’m down 27.5lbs, and I have never felt better. Intermittent fasting is DIVINE.

I eat my meal in the evening time after my day. Usually start eating around 7pm and finish before 8pm.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT:

Hello my old friend Just A Workout. I haven’t seen you in a few cycles. See you at the end. I’ll be the one laying on the ground.


I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I can do the clean and jerks in sets of 5 and the row… I don’t really know how to gauge rowing times, but for a 1,000m run I would say a 5-minute time would be passable today.


ORGANIC SCALES:

Strength — shorten row, lower reps for clean and jerk, more rounds, and rest

Stamina — one round, 3000m row, 45 clean and jerks, try to scale weight so you can do 45 in a row

Endurance — as is, scaled on clean and jerks and row if muscle fatigue gets in the way too much

Flexibility — full squat and hang out at the top on clean and jerk


NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:

Coordination — split jerk every rep just to practice on the timing, and alternate feet

Accuracy — even splits on the rower, even sets on the c&j

Agility — quickest touch-and-go on clean and jerk, sub an agility course or something for the row

Balance — same as flexibility


GROUP VERSION: as is, similar rules for endurance version.


WARMUP:

Jump rope — always and running prep

Box jump — clean prep

Kb swing — core to extremity prep

[insert thing you suck at]

[insert thing you suck at]


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 7. General Just A Workout fear level. Can be more if you really are in the mood to punish yourself on the row/run.

Globo scale: sub 800m run (track, outside or treadmill with slight incline slight incline), or 40 burpees for each set of rows.


If barbell challenged use 50/35lb dumbbells today for the clean and jerks.
