In part 1 we’re beginning our power cleans within the current strength cycle. Athletes should be aiming for 6-12 touch & go reps and target technical failure as the stopping point.
In part 2, this is definitely a couplet where you want to try and come out smart or conservative and pick up the pace as you go. The spicy combination of these two movements both being explosive hip openers is sure to start to blow up our heart rate as well as slow down our pace if we come out the gate too hot.

In part 1, technical failure can be indicated by bar speed, or a deviation from a quality receiving position.
In part 2, you can manage a large class by allowing athletes to begin on different movements. Set up your room so that the transition from bar to box and box back to bar can be both safe and quick. Teach your athletes how to best share boxes with you-go-I-go jumps.

Look For
Athletes should focus on an aggressive elbow turn over as they receive the bar with feet fat, butt back, knees out, and elbows high.
Athletes should land with their feet outside their hands to create a sound, athletic base that will allow them to go straight into their box jump as they come out of their burpee.

“You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut” - Dr. Suess
This quote is worth reading twice.
We are creatures of habit. We enjoy our routines. From the morning rituals, to the way we warm up for a workout, to our regimented diets and food plans.Although dialing in the routine is a great thing, it’s important that we remind ourselves to “keep our eyes open.” What Dr. Suess’s quote alludes to is an open mind. Even when we feel we’ve found exactly what works for us, we must resist the urge to close our eyes and ears to new ideas.There is so much to learn, experience, and challenge ourselves with. That is, if we only keep our eyes open to do so.
Always a student.
