Performance

A.
Take 15 minutes to build to a heavy Power Clean
Missed 110kg. IF we had more time to rest for another try maybe.
B.
In 12 minutes, complete as many ladders as possible from 1 to 5 reps of Hang Power Clean, with approximately 75% of your 1-RM Power Clean
(Example – Perform 1 Hang Power Clean, drop the barbell and rest as needed; then perform 2 Hang Power Cleans, drop the bar and rest as needed; then perform 3 Hang Power Cleans, drop the bar and rest as needed; etc…up to 5 Hang Power Cleans, then start again at 1. If you drop the barbell before you achieve the designated number of reps in that set, you must begin that set over – i.e., if you drop the bar on your fourth attempt of your set of 5, you must begin the set of 5 again from 0.)
Thanks to OPT for inspiring this workout…his version was way harder with Hang Squat Cleans, but I am too polite to you all.

If you don’t have teammates to share the burden, give yourself 2-3 minutes of rest between rounds, and score the times for each round.)
