Yesterday's workout was:
95 lb thrusters 5x
95 lb hanging power clean 7x
95 lb sumo deadlift highpull 10x
I'm still a little confused with some of these power lifts and the difference between them, like apparently for this one, I did a hanging power clean and press. So what I'm wondering is what is the difference between a hanging clean and a hanging power clean? If I had just done a hanging power clean instead of adding the press I think I could have squeezed in a full 6th round and maybe into a 7th.
As it was, I made 5 full rounds and 1 extra round of thrusters. I found this workout to be very fun. Very challenging and very tiring. I am incredibly excited that I am able to actually complete the majority of these W.O.D's without regressing in weight or technique (ex: instead of handstand push ups, assisted handstand push ups or military press with feet extended out to stabalize myself).
My shoulder had also been tweaking out on me since I attempted a cat leap while working on a few different things for parkour. It was doing much better and still is, but I was skeptical of how it would feel during the thrusters and the hanging power cleans. It didn't hurt at all during them.
Anyway, I'm looking to try for 7 rounds next time I attempt this exercise.

ReplyDeleteHang- is the position of the bar when starting the lift. it is just above the knee.
Recieve- catch the bar after second pull.
Power- is how the bar is received, it is caught with a half or quarter squat.
when it says clean (with no power in front) it means you receive the bar in the deep squat.
Oh yeah that workout you have posted I think you may have done it wrong. there was no jerk or push press after the hang power clean. Second it was supposed to be rounds of 5,7,10 as many times as possible in 20 minutes. anyhow let me know.
