WARM UP – MOBILITY
Big dynamic joint warm-up + mobility work (focus on OH and front rack position)
—
Review 3 split jerk drills for primer:
—
Split jerk technique / primer:
EMOM x 9:
Sets 1-3: 5 press from split receiving position
Sets 4-6: 4 Tall jerks (hold landing/receiving position for 2-3s before recovery)
Sets 7-9: 3 Split jerks (3s hold in dip position + 3s hold in receiving position)
—
Take all bars from the ground, practice muscle clean / power clean to get the bars up.
Build slowly over the 9 sets but keep it all relatively light and focus on perfect footwork, positions, balance etc.
WOD A
CLEAN & JERK
5 mins to warm-up power clean & jerk to ~60% of 1RM, then;
Every 2:30 x 9 sets:
Sets 1-3: 3 power cleans + 3 split jerks (65-70%)
Sets 4-6: 2 power cleans + 2 split jerks (75-80%)
Sets 7-8: 1 power clean + 1 split jerk (85-90%)
—
Complete each set as a complex (touch and go cleans), no dropping the bar till the end.
Newer athletes build as needed maintaining good technique
Base your % work off of your power clean or your split jerk depending which is lower.
