Work out of the week 17 July 2008

[ashley]

(new workout below)

Another variation on what Jim Schmitz wrote in Milo this quarter:

6 sets of 4 reps (modified Schmitz clean complex, all off of blocks set bar at just below knee height resetting each rep)

Power Clean Push Press/Split clean left leg forward/Split clean right leg forward/Squat Clean Split jerk

about 2 – 3 minutes rest between sets, this one will have you breathing hard, then;

Clean pulls from floor to pull indicator set at xyphoid position 5 x 3 reps

Cheers, ashley

[prop]

if we dont have a pull indicator about how high is that

[ashley]

Hi Prop, my points of reference are nipple height for snatch grip pulls and Xyphoid height for clean grip pulls, you can do them in a power rack if you wish and tie some rubber tubing at the correct height, cheers, ashley

[ashley]

No dumb questions ever, as someone said the only dumb question is the one you did not ask, Xyphoid is the at the base of your sternum, cheers, ash
