Workout description

10RFT: 1 Clean-and-Jerk, 3 Overhead Squats, & 5 Push Jerks.

Warmup:

10

min

Equipment:

Barbell, Rack Recommended

Cooldown:

5

min

Modality:

Weightlifting

Coaching notes

Begin with a thorough warm-up, including mobility exercises for the shoulders, hips, and ankles. For the clean and jerk, focus on proper technique and form. Use a weight that allows for good form throughout the set. If 185/135 lbs is too heavy, reduce the weight to maintain proper technique and safety. In the overhead squats, maintain a stable and upright position, with the barbell directly over the midline of the body. If these are too challenging, modify with front squats or goblet squats. In the push jerks, focus on a strong and explosive push, using the legs to drive the weight overhead. If these are too challenging, modify with push presses or strict presses. This workout is a test of strength and endurance, with a focus on Olympic weightlifting movements. Balance your effort across the rounds, and finish with a cooldown involving stretching, particularly focusing on the shoulders, hips, and ankles.
