On Monday, we broke the Clean and Jerk down into individual lifts: the power clean, front squat, and push jerk. Utilizing the front squat in the clean allows the athlete to pull the most weight off of the ground. Yesterday, we worked on our front squat weight to get more comfortable with our front squats, and also to develop squat strength. Today, we are going to take the skills we developed Monday, and the strength we developed yesterday to work on clean and jerk progressions. This should not be max effort and should not rise above 75% of your 1 rep max, if you know what that is.
