Yeeeah! “Cleans!”

Today, Jay and I focused on Power Cleans, (cleans started from the floor, but not taken all the way to squat clean) plus finishing the entire movement with a push press.

- Push press
One movement. Not for time, but for form.

Phew, there’s a lot of work of work being done when you power clean and then take the weight overhead. Jay’s and my form continue to improve. I wish I could get my chest out a little more in the bottom position, and I really want Jay to focus on that tight lumbar, but for the most part, we’re doing these lifts well.
- Jay: 65, 85, 95, 95, 105 lbs
- Christian: 95, 115, 135, 145, 155 lbs
155 overhead feels surprisingly easy for me right now – my weakness is in the hip drive.
