Hey Dan, check this out about patience in Olympic Weightlifting and it could help you to stay away from the early arm bend that many athletes have. Also, awesome job on todays workout! Sub 30 seconds per round is pretty quick.

A: 65-115# (I used to have trouble with high hang cleans, but now that I have the proper tech down, I’m having trouble with cleaning from the ground. Im pulling too early. I feel like today’s workout is great for “getting it right” from all positions, but does anyone have any other suggestions to help me through this?) B: used 95# for all so #2850 Did this with a partner, we only had one bar avaliable so we started staggered and did 5 burpee box jumps instead of 6 over the bar. I thought the workout was “not too bad”… Read more »

Hey Amber, try having more patience in your clean and allowing the bar to travel all the way to your pockets before you begin your high pull. Check out this blog I wrote that may be beneficial to the issue you are having:

I really do love your programming. It hits all the right notes. And i travel with work a lot and your words I find are for the most part very portable. Fractured my wrist playing hockey and aggravated it during heavy OHS. The rack position is hard and I’m not good at being injured and working on the other stuff to keep in shape. Not a great mind set. I know. Need to work on the stay positive angle. Thanks again.

total amount in kg/pounds? or what?

Michele Vieux
August 20, 2015 6:54 am

Note the total weight moved over the 15 minutes. So if you used 100kg for all 15 sets, then your score would be 15(100×2)=3,000kg!

You can drop the bar or do it as a complex as long as you get all the reps of cleans and burpees done in the minute. Enjoy! Can’t wait to see how you do!
