This information needs to be pushed to as many kids as possible and more importantly their parents.  Let's remember that no parents wants anything bad for their kids... some just don't have the information and knowledge to make the right choice.  

E4MOM, and did SLIPS afterward

Squat+push press 5x5 - 45. 55. 60. 62.5. 62.5 (all kg). Neither my wrist nor knee would be good under really heavy weight and I need the practice. 

Worked up to 225 and did 5 singles of power clean and jerk. (Squat cleans last time) 
Some were better than others but the jerk felt way better than it has recently. 

L sits on floor: :15 emomx5
Stretching 5 m: mostly pancake stuff for: Handstand descents: at least 10 good attempts, some more solid than ever
Planks: rear plank :30-:35 rest :25

Very disappointing day. I have been stuck at 205lb clean and jerk for a month now...my daily workouts consist of following this programing to the tee. Any suggestions on how to improve?

Hang Power Clean 3-3-3-3-3

205-225-245-255-275. Was feeling pretty stiff so I didn’t push the final lift to absolute max. 

Practiced the rest of the stuff. Anyone else’s hip flexors getting super stiff from this? 

Enough weirdness going on w/ my body today that I didn't want to do heavy C&J.

Alternating DB shoulder press and back squats
35# single arm SP-10 reps
195# BS-5
35# both arm SP-8
205-5
35# both arm SP-9
205-5
35# single arm SP-9
195-5

I'm not very strong on C&J so I restructured as follows, for technique/proficiency:

2 minutes to complete each round of FULL squat clean & jerks:
10 @ 100lbs
9 @ 105lbs
8 @ 110lbs
7 @ 115lbs
6 @ 120lbs

I only completed 9 @ 100lbs when the 2min bell rang. Each of the other rounds was completed with 15-20 seconds to spare. So maybe I should have gone back and added 1 more C&J.

I ordered the 5-minute practices as
L-sits
Stretching
Handstand slow descent to headstand
Varied plank holds
Scales

85-90-95-100-105 lbs

Hadn’t recorded a ORM in clean and jerk yet so just started at a reasonable weight and moved up from there.

Intended Stimulus
.
Heavy day! Today let's have some fun. Go as heavy as you can while mechanics allow you. The Clean and Jerk is a very technical lift, however it is very forgiving with sloppy technique. That means it is going to be on you to keep your standards high! Remind yourself, the better your technique is today, the more you will be able to lift tomorrow. And in Olympic Weightlifting longevity is one precious reward. For athletes who struggle with technique in either the clean or the jerk, consider working on the lifts separately starting with the trickier of the two. Athletes new to the clean and jerk should work on progressions to learn them. Experienced athletes can use progressions as warm ups. 
For the second part, pick drills that are at the limit of your capacity: you can control them with good positions, but not for long. The five minute window we have today will be appropriate for that training.
LIFT HEAVY, DRILL HARD, HAVE FUN!


Progressions for Clean*
5 sets
5 Cleans in Full Extension 


4 Sets
2 Hip Clean + 2 Hang Cleans 


3 Sets
2 Segment Clean Deadlifts + 1 Clean

*Video for the Clean in Full Extension is @dotcomscaled. For all the other drills, look for videos on the Catalyst Athletics Library.

Progressions for Split Jerk*
5 sets
5 Press Behind the Neck in Split Position 
 
4 Sets
2 Jerk Drives + 2 Tall Jerks  
 
3 Sets
2 Pause Jerk + 1 Split Jerk
 
*For all the drills look for videos on the Catalyst Athletic Library.

Performing 5 heavy singles will require adequate build-up time. Heavy singles on a clean and jerk was last performed on February 20. A good guideline could be to have the first set start at 80-85% of a 1-rep max before building to max loads. 
I will have almost everyone attempt this workout as prescribed, as long a sound mechanics are maintained. Most of my experienced athletes will be coached to achieve near-max loads on the third or fourth set. For less experienced athletes, I will manage the loads so there is always a few reps left in the tank. Modifying the rep-scheme will only take place if a special situation presents itself, such as injury or for athletes that need significant practice at lighter loads. 
I will reduce load on remaining sets if an athlete’s technique significantly deviates from sound mechanics or if there are multiple failed attempts.
A full squat clean will be coached today, but it is important to understand that this movement is, essentially, about getting a load into a supported position and then getting it overhead. If technique is not sound, an athlete can perform the following sequence of movements to achieve this goal:  1. A power clean, followed by 2. a front squat (optional), and then 3. finishing by performing any overhead movement the athlete can perform soundly (shoulder press, push-press, push-jerk, or split-jerk).

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:

5 strict L pull-ups
10 ring dips
15 single-leg squats

7 rounds + 12 reps
222 reps total
Rx

Globo scale- if you have bumper plates, so this one as RXed and max out.  If you only have iron plates, work to heavy singles that you can control on the way down.

For the other movements, l sits (boxes, benches, dip bars, a chair, or hanging from a pullup bar);  handstand decent ( dumbbell shoulder press negatives) , stretching  (RomWOD, Mwod, Yoga).  Planks are self explanatory.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT: 
Here’s your homework: try and see how you can use the accessory movements to reinforce good positions on the clean and jerk. One thing I hope to show on these scaling notes is that when you see beyond the code of the movement specific name, then you’ll see how there’s really like 4 or 5 general movement patterns and positions that are consistent across everything we do.

I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: my technique is on point and I’m feeling like a pr is right there

ORGANIC SCALES:
Strength — freeze in receiving position on clean and split jerk, and add reps and sets
Stamina — connecting reps without putting the bar down would be good here. Try 10’s
Endurance — quick sprint then hit your clean and jerk set, rest as needed
Flexibility — overhead lacrosse ball mobility before each set, do 2 split jerks at each weight while light. Also go into full squat

NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:
Coordination — let go of the bar on every clean and split jerk. That means timing is right.
Accuracy — stick with the same weight each rep set, add reps, and try to do it in a certain time
Agility — same as stamina
Balance — same as strength (funny how these two categories are tied together). Also handstands and scales

GROUP VERSION:  
I will probably keep with the time limit thing going, giving new kids more reps and veterans freedom to go when they feel like it. But I’ll probably do the handstands and suck in between sets

WARMUP:
Handstand — overhead prep
Hollow hold — overhead prep
Box jump — good landing prep
Jump rope — always
Kip — spend some time hanging

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB):  3. I like these max efforts more than the deadlift/squat ones. But getting under a heavy split jerk can be scary at times.
