Death by Clean and Jerk

CFSB week 4


No Strength work today. I decided to skip my back squats today. I am trying to let my hip heal up. I want to be able to do some decent DL work tomorrow. I may come in and do some bench later though. Haven’t done that in a long time.

Death by Clean and Jerk
With a continuously running clock do one 135 pound Clean and Jerk the first minute, two 135 pound Clean and Jerks the second minute, three 135 pound Clean and Jerks the third minute… continuing as long as you are able.


Use as many sets each minute as needed.

as Rx’d: 10 min + 7 reps. No PR today. Last time I did this with powercleans I got 11 + 3.

I opted for powercleans instead of squat cleans in order to reduce the wear on the hip and increase power output. It only bothers me when I am in the bottom position coming out of the hole. I didn’t think doing dynamic front squats would be very wise at this point.


Cash-out: More C&J work. I did sets of 4-5-7-7-5-5-5 in order to round out to 100 reps for the day.

Skill Work: Breaking down the pack n’ play and loading the kids up.
