We are coming into our final week of the power clean strength cycle! How’s everyone feeling about their progress? Did you improve on some component of your power clean? For example, hitting that full hip extension/getting tall? Working on keeping that bar close? Working on quick elbows? We are now wrapping up our second strength

Interesting little rep scheme for today’s wod, looks easy but add up the reps and it will be clear that this is a lot of work. Try to have a good plan going into this so that it doesn’t just become a slog through. Most of these sets should be done unbroken with quick transitions

Hitting the end of another strength cycle with 2’s today. Use the same weight across all sets (hopefully heavier than last week), and rep out the final set. Some pretty high volume WODs this week, despite the seemingly short lengths. Pace yourself and scale appropriately. Try and set some PR’s in weighted pull-ups and muscle
