Clean and jerk 2-2-2-2-2 reps
Post loads to comments.
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a classic lifting day. Depending on how you feel, use today as an opportunity to work on technique or to lift something relatively heavy. The repetitions in each set do not have to be touch-and-go. You may regrip and take no more than 10 seconds to complete the second lift. The clean in today’s effort can be performed as a power or squat variation. Newer athletes should focus on developing consistently sound mechanics before adding weight.
Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell.
To reduce the complexity of the movements, consider performing hang power or hang squat cleans. For the jerk portion of the movement, consider push presses.
In case of injury or limitation, perform dumbbell clean and jerks. If there is an overhead limitation, perform only the clean portion of the movement.
Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.
Beginner option:
Clean and jerk 4-4-4-4-4 reps
Coaching cues:
In the jerk, focus on keeping the elbows high as you perform the dip and drive. Higher elbows will help keep the torso vertical and ensure the barbell travels in a more straight path overhead.

Haven't done heavy C&J in a long time but felt decent. Lack of shoulder mobility makes the transition from the clean rack position to the jerk position pretty ugly.

Limited to 135lbs, so kind of split the baby. Did EMOM 3 solid, strict C&J, no bouncing for 10 minutes. Finished each 3 at around 30 seconds. Basically slow, controlled Grace. Went well, definitely got challenging. In Randolph center VT

Not great at split jerk, so it was good to practice that today.
Having only a 5x2 lifting day today makes me wonder what’s in store for tomorrow…..
Weight in lbs
Still a great job, bro! C&J are not one of my strengths, but I do prefer split over push jerk.
CN, 2 minutes before tomorrow’s workout is supposed to drop…I was thinking the same thing. And before a Sunday rest day, I think we’re gonna get torched. In a good way, of course.
Still solid numbers! Nice job!
Nick those are good numbers! Well done!!!

Those weights are moving up, Stephan! Maybe the Olympics will be next! 😉 Excellent work!
nicely done 👍🏼
Dang bro
Solid!
Definitely used this as an opportunity for practicing form & gaining confidence in the OH lockout. Fear of angering sketchy shoulders is real! Went to 70#;(split jerks) didn't like the form on 75#, went back, then cleans& push presses. Finished with drop sets from 70-45 (unloaded men's bar)
Combo split & regular.
Then hit delts in the garage like it was 1995, (when many of you were born)with face pulls, DB presses, bench work & etc.😅
well done on the scaling and subs Favo. Glad 90s delts workout was good!
Great work doing what you can and using this to work on technique! I like all the extras too!
Awesome and pushing the envelope too.
Born in 95!😂

Aw see, @Dave & @Chance, my 1st was born in 96; I'm old enough to be whole grown people with kids' mom! Abuela Favo!😂

Fantastic! Cruising up in #s!
I practice clean and jerks everyday
Did our Friday Bulletproof instead, but added in today's movement.
12min AMRAP
5 C&J (I did PC & mix of SJ and PJ, 95#)
10 Pull-ups
6 rounds
~2 min rest
4RFT (12min cap)
200m run w/ sandbag (35-45#)
12 KBS (24kg)
9:45
Pressed for time and had to come up with something on the fly since our guy who was putting on the workout today wasn't able to make it. Figured I would make today's WOD movement part of it. Probably could have done 7 rounds in the AMRAP but stopped a couple of time to help out a couple of folks with their cleans.
Great job incorporating the stimulus & those sandbag runs, nice touch! Right in my wheelhouse! Awesome on the spot programming & helping out with PC form too; well done!
That's a great workout Lincoln, you should start posting WOD's!!!

Rxd in the garage gym. All reps squat clean and a mix of split and push jerks.

not my best stuff today, 195 was tough and should have stopped there.
Touch and go, no reset at the bottom.
Great job still, James!
Some days just hit different, but these are great results nonetheless!
Man those are some big numbers my man👍🏼👊🏼💪🏼!!!
Well done!
Nice jump up in weight!
