COACHES NOTES
In order to hit the goal, we’re looking for each round to take 4-5 minutes with the understanding that we’ll likely slow down a bit on rounds 3 and 4. Choose a weight that you COULD do unbroken when you’re fresh but it’s probably a good idea to break them up into sets of 3-5 reps from the start since this one will get grippy! If you go with the toes to bar option, break those up from the start too. Don’t peacock the burpees – find a nice steady pace that allows you to keep moving!
BARBELL POWER CLEAN AND JERK
The clean AND jerk together counts as 1 rep.
The Feet are under the hips with the heels down, hands outside of the legs and bar close to the body. Knees are bent and there is a hinge at the hips. Chest is lifted with a flat back and a tight belly. Lift the bar by digging the heels into the ground and lifting the chest. Once past the knee think about finishing UP hard and fast with the legs. Shrug the shoulders and then guide the bar UP the body – keeping it close – with the elbows going high and outside as you pull yourself under slightly. Bring the elbows around and through fast so that the bar will land on your shoulders in a partial dip position with the heels down and chest up. From here you can stand and re-set or go straight into the jerk.
If you stand you will re-dip – if not you will go straight from that dip position – drive the bar off of the shoulders – move the face back. Push the bar up as you push yourself down! Catch in a partial overhead squat with the heels down, knees out, chest up, and bar locked out over the middle of the body. Stand to finish!

TOES TO BAR
Start hanging from the bar with hands slightly wider than shoulders, shoulders drawn down away from your ears and arms straight. Think about pushing the bar out in front of you so your shoulders travel back behind the bar as you raise your toes up to touch bar between your hands. Make sure you keep that active shoulder position as you lower your feet back down and behind you.
