piece by piece

Working barbell movements every minute on the minute can feel rushed and they generally don’t allow us to get as heavy as we normally would.  Use this to your advantage today as we piece together our cleans.  The weights will be lower and we won’t really have time to add weight as we go, so see how you can improve with the load you start with.  Can you open your hips faster on the power clean?  Can you keep your rack positions tighter, higher and more supportive in the front squat?  And then can you put the two together any more smoothly when you do your full clean?
